From the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel:
The Medical Examining Board reached stipulations with seven doctors Wednesday in which they were formally reprimanded for failing to make adequate records on the patients they saw during the protests. The stipulations also required the doctors to pay $225 to $350 each for costs and take four hours of continuing education courses within 90 days on medical record keeping.
The reprimands will stay on the doctors’ records permanently and will show up in a national database of physicians, Murray said. The doctors’ reprimands would be a factor in determining discipline in future cases if any of the doctors come before the board again, he said.
A mere hand slap.
Pity.
