“A hearing will begin in Maryland in front of an Administrative Law
Judge (ALJ) tomorrow morning (June 17th, 2011) to determine whether,
or not, the Maryland Board of Physicians had justifiable cause to
immediately suspend Mark Geier MD's medical license. The hearing could
last up to a week before all of the world-class Geier witnesses could
be heard.”
Here's some other interesting developments for the Geiers' career:
His son David has been charged with practicing medicine without a
license.

Ah, yes, and let's not forget, the Geiers did present at Autism One.
Their lecture was scheduled from 3:45-4:45 on Friday, May 27, in Jr.
Ballroom A/B. Four other presentations were scheduled at the EXACT
SAME TIME, including another lecture in Jr. Ballroom C, an advocacy
message by Laurie Ahern in the Grand Ballroom and a five-member panel
on homeopathy in the Oak Room.

“But, in essence, what is really happening here is that the State of
Maryland has a structure in place for this sort of situation - sort of
a check and balance system. The legal question to be adjudicated at
this hearing is NOT whether or not Mark Geier MD did anything wrong in
his medical practice, but whether the Maryland Board of Physicians
followed "due process," in yanking his license in this `emergency"
manner.'
“And, the Maryland Board of Physicians is stumbling big time.”
I agree. Their biggest foul-up was not doing this about five years
ago. Oh, wait, what was the Bolenator thinking of?
“Why? The Maryland Board of Physicians, in the Mark Geier MD case,
activated an emergency provision of Maryland law under (COMAR)
10.32.02, called `Summary Suspension.'
“The `Summary Suspension' section of this law outlines the process by
which such an action can be taken. Specifically, the Maryland Board of
Physicians activated the "Extraordinary Circumstances" subsection
(COMAR) 10.32.02.05 (B) (7) (a) (b), and (c) which says:
(legalese deleted)
“Starting tomorrow morning, the Maryland Board of Physicians has the
burden of proof to show several things tomorrow, to the ALJ. First,
the Board must outline the `Extraordinary Circumstances.'"
Uhh... how about “CHEMICAL CASTRATION”? That ought to at least bring
all the men in the room to, um, attention.
“Then the board needs show to all of the reasons why `(a) The Board
determines that the health, welfare, and safety of the public or the
physician imperatively requires immediate suspension;'
“And then the Board needs show to all of the reasons why `(b) Notice
and opportunity to be heard before the action is not feasible;'
“Maryland law is very specific about the use of this (COMAR)
10.32.02.05 (B) (7) (a) (b), and (c) emergency provision. Maryland
law, like all other States, is set up to protect the people while, at
the same time, establishing a system of `due process,' required by the
US Constitution Amendments number Five and Fourteen, as explained
below.”
Let's see. The Board duly notified “Dr” Geier of the action against
him. They listed their charges and evidence. How is that not due
process? Or perhaps what the Bolenator is saying is that “due
process” should include, say, the cops calling a judge before
detaining a man with a bloody knife.
“Tomorrow morning begins, frankly, the unraveling of the scheme
against the Geiers, and the beginning of the consequences for the
Maryland Board of Physicians employees, agents, and co-conspirators.
Why? Because the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) is NOT part of the
Maryland Board, nor an employee under the control of Joshua F.
Scharfstein the head of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene. From the law, here is what will happen...” (Legalese
deleted.)
The point, if any, Mr. Bolen seems to be trying to get at is that the
Board would have to present their evidence. Uhhh... they already did,
in 48 pages made freely available to the public. And it appears that
that only represented about three-quarters of the cases the board
marked for investigation, because a body of Dr. Geiers' peers
reportedly declined to recommend action on the remainder. My point
being, Geier demanding a review of ALL the evidence the board might
have could backfire. And isn't it a bit late to be making Scharfstein
the scapegoat of choice? Or is Bolen going to say that his Maryland
agency also controls the Washington and Virginia boards?
“As the Maryland Board has discovered in earlier cases, if the ALJ
says they don't have a case, any decision contravening that gets them
personally sued in State or Federal Court under the "due process"
provisions - and case law shows the courts favor the Plaintiff.
Better, violations of "due process" generally REMOVE the immunity
provisions for public employees, letting the Plaintiff go after those
Board Members', or State employees', personal assets.” (legalese
deleted)
“Read, once again, what I wrote in a earlier article:” (Long quotation
deleted)
Bolen brings up the case of one Alice Lee-Bloem, for which records can
easily be located. Generally, for the Bolenator, this is a bad sign.
http://mdcourts.gov/opinions/cosa/2008/2227s07.pdf
Passage of particular interest, the last one: “(W)e affirm that the
court did not err in dismissing appellant's (LEE-BLOEM's) claim....
Judgment affirmed. Costs to be paid by apellant.” So, Bolen's
example of the Maryland Board being routed (and especially, on a
favorite theme of Bolen's, being financially devastated) for their
unjust practices ended with a judgment against the person who
complained against the board, a confirmation of said judgment, and an
order for the complainant to pay court costs.
“You can bet that the Geier's legal team will show up tomorrow with
razor sharp battle axes, so to speak....”
So, let's see. Dr. Geier is facing his last chance at keeping his
license in his “home” state. He is now also facing disciplinary
action in one or two other states. On top of that, he has only two
weeks left to renew licenses in two more states where the authorities
could dispose of him simply by conveniently holding up his paperwork.
And sure, his legal counsel couldn't have ANYTHING better to do than
plan to sue the members of the board currently trying him.
"Kathleen Seidel's little band of anonymous supporters organized a
campaign to cause as much damage to the Geiers as possible in the
shortest possible time. Geier supporters are gathering those
communications as evidence of an organized conspiracy.”
Gee, Mr. Bolen, is SIX YEARS your idea of “shortest possible time”?
And who exactly would these “Geier supporters” be? Age of Autism, the
blog whose own senior editor has expressed qualms about administering
Lupron even for its INTENDED purpose? Generation Rescue and other
anti-vax activists, who have literally said nothing of Dr. Geier's
situation? The Autism One organizers, who chose to park the Geiers in
two-thirds of a “junior” ballroom in a time slot that directly
competed with a panel of magic water promoters? Reality check, Mr.
Bolen: All the fights that really mattered for Mark Geier were lost
well before his present troubles. And he probably did much of it all
by himself as soon as he chose to make it his business to promote a
medical product whose most well-known application promised pop-culture
name recognition in the same class as Zyklon-B.
“My advice to Seidel and the others - make this process simple - type
up a list of your personal assets and forward a copy to the Geiers.
They, the Geiers, will meet with their attorneys. The Geiers will
decide which third of your assets they want, their attorneys will
decide which third of your assets they want, and you can sell the rest
to pay for your defense. Why? You have NO CHANCE of winning in court.
You did what you did. The record of your activities has already been
copied.”
“Advice”? How civil! And just for sake of discussion, let's take a
look at the respective sides, shall we? On one side, we have a fringe-
of-the-fringes practitioner with five out of ten of his active
licenses in imminent jeopardy. On the other side, there's people like
Paul Offit, a bestselling author who also earned $6M from just one of
his patents; Trine Tsouderos, a reporter for the Chicago Tribune;
prominent autism advocates like Kathleen Seidel; very popular science
bloggers like “Orac”; and for that matter the Amasing Randi. Gee,
seems like most of us will probably take our chances. But, I'll tell
you what. My own assets include 12 all-original ebooks, a $100 laptop
and a rock hammer.
Just arrange for me to meet with Mark Geier, and I will GLADLY give
him the hammer.
