What is a licensing Medical Board to do when they have had a “witch hunt” for over 2 yrs against a doctor who had a complaint lodged against him by a former disgruntled employee for excessive opiate prescribing and there has been no pt’s deaths and no real evidence of such a complaint ? The DEA had investigated the complaint and found no issues… but the Medical Licensing Board and its attorney apparently was interested in making an example of this particular prescriber..
This prescriber had the audacity to accept into his practice pts that had been in another practice that had been “taken out” by the bureaucrats .. and who that prescriber was recently cleared of all accusations…
As has been the case with many bureaucrats.. when they get an opinion about something… they can’t ever admit that they are wrong… often is the case that “saving face” is more important than the truth.
This “witch hunting” attorney… brought forth witnesses in this case.. that were also all licensed by the same bureaucracy and even at least one that was a competitor of the prescriber. Normally in such situations, experts are from and licensed in other states.. so that there is no chance of being intimidated by the same licensing board asking the questions… that could come after the witness .. if they don’t say what the licensing board wanted to be said… after all… what attorney do you know that hates to lose a case ?
In this particular case, the bureaucrats determined that this prescriber’s medical records on pts were ILLEGIBLE … they couldn’t read them.. it didn’t matter that the prescriber could read them. You can read the terms of the SIX MONTHS PROBATION given to this prescriber for basically failing to use some commas, dot some “i’s” and cross some “t’s”..
Congratulation to Dr Mark Ibsen for standing up to these self serving bureaucrats and having to deal with some Pharmacists in his community that have been actively denying his pts their needed medications and basically practicing medicine without a license..

There were also many pain patients who stepped up and defended Dr. Ibsen. It was a team effort all the way around which is what is needed in this effort to help chronic pain patients still.
I’m getting so tired of reading and hearing about medical professionals being persecuted and then prosecuted. I would like to know at what point in recent history did the United States become a Socialist Republic? We are supposed to be “the land of the free and the home of the brave”, well our land is no longer free and our brave are wondering why we still call it home.
Bureaucrats are running our country into the ground, making decisions for the so called “greater good” of the US residents and our population is letting them get away with it. I am glad that this doctor took the bureaucrats on, but it’s not quite enough. We all need to stand up for our rights and our freedom once again.
Think of it this way. Every month when we go to our Doctors office to get our prescriptions fill, how many other patients are there waiting for the same thing?
How many of these patients do you converse with every month? I am willing to bet that the faces you see are the same ones that you saw the previous month.
How many conversations with these other patients have you brought up the issues that are discussed on this blog every day?
Have you ever suggested to a fellow pain sufferer to visit this page?
Have you ever suggested to your doctor or his/her staff to visit this site?
Now ask yourself this. Why am I not talking about these topics with others who are suffering? Even if you have not been effected by any of these issues, you soon will be. Don’t wait until it effects you or it’s too late to get involved. You don’t use birth control after conception, why would you wait until you no longer have access to your pain medications to fight this fight?
