Board eyes investigation of 10 doctors who signed questionable sick notes

The state Medical Examining Board is looking into investigating at least 10 doctors not previously disciplined for writing sick notes the Madison School District considered fraudulent. The review, which started Monday, was triggered by a State Journal article Saturday, said Greg Gasper, spokesman for the state Department of Safety and Professional Services.

….The UW School of Medicine and Public Health reviewed 22 doctors said to have been involved in writing questionable sick notes and disciplined at least a dozen of them. The university hasn’t released the specific actions, saying the process isn’t complete.
