I'm not sure of the tack you are taking regarding the type of "victimization", so I'll just throw this out there...
The NSA/ATT etc wiretapping lawsuit has brought to the foreground the fact that doctors and lawyers seem to be more vunerable to the wiretapping because the NSA and other agencies believe that the "Terrorists" are using medical and legal terms as code for their "nefarious plans" on the telephone. Hence the giant information vacuum that parses the words transmitted on phone lines seems to pick up more than it's share of doctors and lawyers conversations and flags them for futher scrutiny. The ACLU should have more on this. Leigh http://leighm.net/ Hari Kumar wrote:
Hello: I have been compiling a register of physicians who have been victimised for defending patient rights &/or critiques of care etc. I am pretty well aware of some good and some high profile cases in Canada - & to a lesser degree in the UK. I have been asked to write a more general article on this with more international names - covering issues as above & of crimps on academic freedoms. I would prefer to use names that have been already alerted to the wider press, since I thereby would not potentially make any individual lives further troubled. However such devices as 'physician A' etc - would work - providing these are true and verifiable. If anyone has knowledge of cases they think an article like this should cover, I would be very grateful indeed if they would pass such onto me, preferably with pertinent dates etc. I would be very happy to discuss in more detail with individuals if they feel it needed. Kind Fraternal Regards, to all, Hari Kumar
