How to be a

Volunteer Medical Whistleblowers have truth on their side.

They are courageous individuals committed to

making a difference by helping prevent Medical

Fraud, Abuse and Neglect. Medical Whistleblow-

ers expose the abuse and neglect of our most

vulnerable citizens and expose institutionalized

patterns of wrongdoing. One person against a

big medical corporation is not a fair fight. Those

who control the medical corporation define the

workplace and all of its rules and regulations and

can affect actions against the Medical Whistle-

blower at the level

of the Medical

Board. The medical

corporation enjoys a

presumption of le-

gitimacy and legal

authority and can

through extraordi-

nary resources af-

fect the actions of politicians, the media, industry,

and the larger community. The Medical Whistle-

blowers of today bear witness to our courts and

our legislature to expose the Achilles heel of

Fraud and organizational misconduct. Truthful

information used astutely to inform those who

are empowered to make decisions, can be a very

powerful political weapon in our society, capable

of defeating money and entrenched corruption

and greed. Like David who defeated Goliath,

Medical Whistleblowers put the public interest

above their own personal interests and even

their own safety and security. As they act with

integrity as citizens of our society, they deserve

our support, respect and honor.

Medical Whistleblower

Medical Whistleblowers The National Institute of Health (NIH) reports that

there are 190,000 hospital deaths due to medical

errors. We should support and defend doctors,

nurses, medical technicians, physical therapists, ra-

diology technicians, nursing assistants, hospital

CEO’s, medical researchers and others who stand

up for patient safety, confidentiality and the pa-

tient’s right to make medical decisions. But Medi-

cal Whistleblowers who report problems under

the current system face retaliation within the hos-

pital system. Traditionally doctors have reviewed

other doctors with the goal of improving medical

care. This process is called Peer Review which is

often under the political and economic control of

large medical corporations, and is used to protect

the hospitals from patient liability law suits. Bad

Faith Peer Review becomes a weapon to remove

Whistleblowing doctors from their positions and

to discredit them so that they do not testify in

court against those who did medical fraud and the

abuse and neglect of patients. Under the current

Health Care Quality Improvement Act (HCQIA)

patients are not protected and medical quality has

suffered. The HCQIA is now used to protect huge

medical corporations and to silence Medical Whis-

tleblowers. The law provides a shield of legal Im-

munity for bad faith malicious peer reviewers to

retaliate against a doctor making a good faith re-

port of abuse, neglect or fraud. Unlike the court

system there is no appeal, no due process. Be-

cause of the threat to loose their medical licenses,

fewer and fewer doctors are willing to risk their

careers and livelihoods to protect patients.

“There is no more noble occupation in the

world than to assist another human

being—to help someone succeed.”

Medical Whistleblower was founded by Dr. Janet

Parker, a Veterinarian who reported Fraud,

Abuse and Neglect in the Medical Community.

The organization is dedicated to advocacy and

the emotional support of all Medical Whistle-

blowers regardless of their professional back-

ground or licensing status. Anyone with access

to information related to medical fraud, abuse

and neglect can be a Medical Whistleblower.

Medical Whistleblower supports those who have

already made that choice and those still consid-

ering their future path. There is no cost to re-

quest support from Medical Whistleblower.

Medical Whistleblower is not a counseling ser-

vice and does not provide legal advice. We are

an advocate for change and provide meaningful

information related to the Medical Whistle-

blower’s experience and networking contacts

for further support.

Medical Whistleblowers come from all walks of

life and many professional disciplines. Medical

Whistleblowers can be Doctors, Pharmacists,

Researchers, Police Officers, Federal Law En-

forcement Agents, Nurses, Medical Technicians,

Certified Public Accountants, Attorneys, Judges,

Therapists, Veterinarians, Prosecutors, Hospital

CEO’s, Academic Medical Instructors, Veterans,

Emergency Medical Technicians, and even Pa-

tients and their families.
