Anderson Cooper 360 Still has the story - from 2008 - for you.
"In California, the state Medical Board is planning to shut down the program as of July because it’s decided it “failed” to protect patients. Five audits of the program since 1982 found all kinds of failures. Even the drug testing of doctors wasn’t random. One auditor told me the doctors could anticipate on which days they’d be drug tested.
Still, even after all the patients who say they were disfigured as a result of this program, one powerful state agency, the California Medical Association, is fighting to keep the program running, and keep the names of doctors enrolled confidential. The association’s President, Joe Dunn, told me, “we believe very strongly this is the absolute best way to insure patient safety. We need to get physicians out of the shadows.”Dunn believes if the program is shut down in July, doctors will still continue to feed their addiction “privately” and not get help. He argues, “Without a diversion program, no one knows. Patients don't know. Health professionals who could help don't know.”
5 Independent Audit's of California's Physician Diversion Program, and 5 failing grades.
10% of the 2004 Doctors qualifying for Rehab, were previous 'Successful Graduates', and as noted: with no post rehab follow up, the State, And Consumers, don't know whether their drunk/doper Doc is staying clean and sober, or their self indulgent drunk/doper Doc has died from a self indulgent Overdose.
Cal's Docs not only beat the DSM rap the First time, but 10% of them took a SECOND free grab at the brass ring [license retention].
The Cal State tax payers pumped another $500,000 into the bilge pumps on this sinker, and like the Titanic, butt covering farce it is, it's Still going down.
Being strung out on Booze or Drugs is a DSM offence: You're incurably 'Mentally Ill'.
Lying becomes an all pervasive way of life, if you want a job even driving a taxi. You Now qualify for a lifetime of Treatment [read Re-Diagnosis and Further Condemnation along 5 DSM axis] and Medications: on Psychiatric medications which own an FDA record of turning people into cripples, corpses, and killers.
For 27 years Doctors in Cal haven't had to worry, about Lying, just to get a job driving a taxi, because this Diversion fiasco has been allowing them to successfully Complete their program of Rehabilitation, and return to work, as Surgeons and Psychiatrists, with no post cure follow up.
And for You? The non-Physician/Psychiatrist?
You get a prescription for Cogentin, to mask the symptoms of the Tardive Dyskinesias, (Brain and CNS Damage) Psychiatrists induced in you, while those Psychiatrists were 'Taking The Money' and fantasizing about 'Chemical Imbalances' in your, until you tangled with Psychiatry, previously undamaged brain, and life.
But: "Hope Remains", for a 'Cure', and "Research Must Continue": tax funded research from an infestation of tax consuming Psychiatrists who are making a damn decent wage, at everyone else's expense. As noted earlier (1): 83% of Indiana's Psychiatrists favor National Socialist Single Payer Health Care.
No One Left Un-Diagnosed, and Un-Drugged, except themselves.
