Doctor who allegedly signed sick notes received ‘threats of violence’

At least one doctor allegedly involved in writing sick notes for protesters at the Capitol last weekend has received “threats of violence,” the dean of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health said in a statement Wednesday. “Threats of violence are never appropriate,” Dr. Robert Golden said. A doctor got telephone threats at home, which were reported to local police, said UW Health spokeswoman Lisa Brunette.
