LETTER TO ATTORNEY GENERAL REDACTED, PRESIDENT REDACTED, VICE PRESIDENT REDACTED, FORMER PRESIDENT JOE “CATFISH” BIDEN, FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK “BULLSEYE” OBAMA

Dear Attorney General REDACTED,

I have outlined three REDACTED cases that I have sent to multiple law firms. They have all declined to take these cases. I am therefore reaching out directly because I believe this requires federal attention.

I believe that you and President REDACTED have what it takes to address these issues and help fix systemic problems in our medical system. I am willing to do whatever is necessary to assist.

I want to be transparent about my background. My first girlfriend’s father, REDACTED REDACTED, is best friends with President Joe Biden, and I did vote for President Biden. Sidenote it really is true. At the same time, I also love President Trump, and I was a HUGE fan of The Apprentice when it aired. I mention this because I believe the issues raised here cross all political lines. This is not political. This is about protecting the United States, its healthcare system, and taxpayers.

What I am describing involves medical corporations taking advantage of CMS, Medicare, Medicaid, and the American public. This is a systemic issue that affects everyone.

I am particularly concerned that my alma mater, The REDACTED University, may be involved in practices where patients are routed through the REDACTED Cancer Hospital to justify oncological billing even when there is no cancer diagnosis. I was told this by two physicians, including REDACTED, MD, and Dr. REDACTED REDACTED, who is a chief medical officer. Both are based in Columbus, Ohio. I believe this warrants investigation.

Throughout my career, I have always prioritized patient care. I examine my patients thoroughly and treat all individuals equally regardless of race, background, or circumstances. I trained at The REDACTED University, completed residency at REDACTED REDACTED Hospital, and have served as an attending physician at institutions including the University of REDACTED, REDACTED University, and REDACTED University. I have always held myself to a high standard.

What I have observed in practice has been deeply concerning. These issues have been present since my training, but as an attending physician, I have now experienced direct consequences for raising concerns.

I have also observed potential disparities in pain management. At REDACTED REDACTED Hospitals, I observed situations where white patients were receiving IV pain medications such as Dilaudid while Black patients were not. When I added appropriate pain control for Black patients, those medications were later removed by other physicians when I was off service, and patients and families continued to report uncontrolled pain. This pattern is concerning and should be reviewed.

I am requesting that these matters be investigated. I am willing to provide testimony, documentation, and any supporting materials needed.

Sincerely,

Dr. REDACTED REDACTED, MD, MPH

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT

My concern is that the system may have become so corrupt that even private attorneys are unwilling to pursue clear cases of medical fraud. I do not understand why multiple law firms would decline matters of this magnitude unless there are external pressures or systemic influences, such as healthcare industry lobbying, that discourage these cases from being brought forward. I believe this issue itself warrants investigation.

I am also concerned that physicians are effectively intimidated into complying with improper practices. When applying for credentialing at new hospitals, physicians must rely on prior institutions for references and approvals. If a physician raises concerns or reports misconduct, prior employers can negatively impact credentialing, making it difficult or impossible to continue practicing. This creates a system where doctors are discouraged from speaking out.

After being terminated by REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED after approximately three months for raising concerns about what I believed to be clear fraud and other unclear reasons, I felt obligated to take action and report these issues.

I also want to clarify my background. I was a salutatorian in high school, a National Merit Scholar, and received a full scholarship for undergraduate education with guaranteed admission into medical school. I later obtained a Master of Public Health through an NIH-supported program. I have trained and practiced at multiple institutions and have always maintained high standards in patient care.

I believe that when these institutions are contacted, there may be attempts to discredit me. I want to make clear that I am a highly trained and experienced physician raising concerns in good faith.

Finally, I respectfully request that these concerns be shared with appropriate federal leadership. If possible, I would appreciate that President REDACTED personally be made aware of these matters, as I would welcome the opportunity to discuss these issues in person.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT

I would also like to provide additional context regarding disparities in pain management that I have observed over the course of my training and practice.

During my medical training at The REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED and REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED between 2003 and 2011, patients with sickle cell disease were consistently scrutinized regarding their requests for pain medication. They were frequently characterized as drug-seeking, and this perspective was emphasized by instructors during training.

When I later practiced as an attending physician in Chicago, my experience was markedly different. Sickle cell patients were treated with a higher level of trust regarding their pain. When a patient stated that a specific dose of medication such as 2 milligrams or 3 milligrams of Dilaudid every 3 hours was required to control their pain, that information was generally respected and incorporated into treatment plans unless it was clearly unsafe.

In contrast, in Ohio, I observed that sickle cell patients were routinely prescribed significantly lower doses, such as 0.5 milligrams or 1 milligram of Dilaudid every 3 hours, regardless of what the patient reported as necessary for adequate pain control. This pattern appeared consistent and did not seem to be individualized based on patient needs.

Given that sickle cell disease disproportionately affects Black patients, I am concerned that this may reflect a broader pattern of unequal treatment. I believe this issue warrants careful review to determine whether there are systemic disparities in pain management practices affecting specific patient populations.

I respectfully request that these concerns be evaluated as part of a broader review of patient care practices perhaps even jointly by the DOJ and ACLU.

Finally, I believe that if UNREDACTED PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP addresses this problem, many people would respect him for defending the interests of Black patients.

Sorry for so many messages.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT

I also want to add important context regarding why the racial disparities I observed in Ohio are especially concerning to me.

The first place in Ohio that I lived after leaving the Chicagoland area, where I lived from ages 5 through 10, was Middletown, Ohio. I attended Vail Middle School there, which was an all-Black middle school, and I lived in a townhouse community that was mostly Black residents. Before that, I lived in a townhouse community in Grand Island, New York, near Niagara Falls, where most of the residents were minorities, and my next-door neighbor was Black. In Chicago, I worked primarily on the South Side for many years, and most of my patients were Black.

Because of that background, when I observed at REDACTED REDACTED Hospital in REDACTED REDACTED in Columbus, Ohio, that Black patients were not being given IV Dilaudid while white patients were, it was deeply disturbing to me. I observed specific patients where I added IV Dilaudid for Black patients because their pain was not being adequately treated. When I later went off service, those medications would be removed by other physicians, and the patients and family members would continue to complain about uncontrolled pain.

I believe this may represent a violation of the civil rights of Black patients in Ohio who are admitted to these facilities. I believe this issue should be investigated by appropriate authorities, including the Attorney General of the United States, because I have specific patients on whom this occurred at REDACTED REDACTED Hospital in REDACTED REDACTED in Columbus, Ohio.

I also mention Middletown, Ohio, because I would like these concerns to be brought to the attention of Vice President J.D. Vance. He is from Middletown, and so am I. We both also attended The REDACTED University. I believe he would be deeply concerned by what I was told in Columbus, Ohio, regarding The REDACTED University Medical Center.

Specifically, I was told by physicians in Columbus that REDACTED was routing patients through the REDACTED Cancer Hospital in ways that justified or facilitated oncological billing for patients who did not actually have cancer or an oncological condition. I was told that patients might be passed through the REDACTED Cancer Hospital, have notes or services associated with that facility, and then be transferred elsewhere, creating a billing advantage or reducing the likelihood of denial. I believe this practice should be thoroughly investigated.

I respectfully request that these concerns regarding Columbus, Ohio, REDACTED REDACTED Hospital, and The REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED be reviewed carefully and shared with appropriate federal leadership.

Sincerely,

REDACTED REDACTED MD MPH

REDACTED Case

Nature of the Alleged Fraud or Improper Conduct


  • I allege that the entities involved engaged in a pattern of practices that may have resulted in improper billing to REDACTED and other payors, as well as compromised patient care.

1. Prolonged Hospitalization for Financial Gain

  • Patients were kept in the LTAC setting beyond medical necessity
  • Length of stay appeared to align with reimbursement thresholds (e.g., ~30 days)
  • Patients often developed new infections (including Acinetobacter and other MDROs) during prolonged stays
  • These complications led to:
    • Additional treatment
    • Extended hospitalization
    • Increased billing

2. Discouragement of Medically Necessary Transfers

  • In certain cases, physicians were encouraged to manage patients within the LTAC rather than transfer to higher levels of care
  • Example:
    • Patient with platelet count of 26 requiring hematology consultation
  • This appeared to be influenced by:
    • Maintaining patient census and revenue

3. Billing for Critical Care Without Corresponding Level of Service

  • Critically ill patients (e.g., ventilated, on vasopressors) were managed in settings without:
    • Continuous critical care physician coverage
  • Some providers:
    • Focused primarily on ventilator management
    • Did not provide full critical care evaluation
  • Despite this, critical care services were billed

4. Documentation Practices Potentially Supporting Billing

  • Physicians were instructed to:
    • Make superficial changes to notes (e.g., changing one word per sentence) to make documentation appear new
    • Use standardized, near-identical note structures across patients and days
  • These practices raise concern that:
    • Documentation may not reflect actual clinical work performed
    • Notes may have been structured in a way that supports billing rather than individualized care

5. Use of Telemedicine in High-Acuity Patients

  • Physicians were asked to evaluate LTAC patients via telemedicine in addition to in-person rounding
  • In at least one case:
    • A telemedicine physician assessed a patient as ready for discharge
    • In-person evaluation revealed active clinical deterioration (COPD exacerbation requiring IV steroids)
  • This raises concern that telemedicine may have been used in a way that:
    • Increased billing volume
    • Increased risk of missed diagnoses

6. Clinical Decision-Making Influenced by Operational or Financial Factors

  • Observed instances where:
    • Transfer decisions
    • Length of stay
    • Documentation practices
  • Appeared influenced by:
    • Workflow efficiency
    • Census management
    • Reimbursement considerations

7. Pattern and Scope

  • These practices appeared to be:
    • Repeated
    • Consistent
    • Embedded in operational workflow
  • Based on my experience, this did not appear to be:
    • Isolated incidents
    • But rather a system-level pattern of behavior

Summary

  • The alleged conduct involves potential:
    • Billing for services not fully supported by clinical care
    • Prolonged hospitalization beyond medical necessity
    • Operational practices influencing clinical decisions
  • These practices raise concern for:
    • Improper use of Medicare funds
    • Deviation from standard patient care practices

1. September 21, 2025 — Platelet Case (Medical Judgment vs. Financial Pressure)

What happened:

  • Patient platelet count = 26
  • You determined:
    • Hematology consult required → transfer necessary
  • Another REDACTED physician:
    • Encouraged keeping the patient in the LTAC (census concern)
  • You proceeded with the transfer based on medical necessity

Why this is critical:

  • Demonstrates a conflict between:
    • Medical necessity
    • Financial incentives
  • Supports a potential pattern of:
    • Transfer avoidance
    • Revenue-driven decision-making

2. November 12, 2025 — Telemedicine Refusal and Safety Concerns

What happened:

  • After reassignment to Columbus, you were instructed to:
    • Round in person
    • Also see additional patients via telemedicine
  • You:
    • Refused
    • Communicated concerns that:
      • Telemedicine in this setting was unsafe
      • It was a disservice to patients
      • It posed liability risk

Why this is critical:

  • This is a key moment where you:
    • Raised concerns about patient care and operational practices
  • Establishes a timeline for:
    • Potential protected activity
    • Subsequent employer response

3. December 22, 2025 — Termination

What happened:

  • You were asked to meet with the CEO after your shift
  • Your contract was terminated without cause

Why this is critical:

  • Represents the adverse employment action
  • Occurred after:
    • Raising concerns
    • Increased scrutiny
    • Internal complaints

Overall Significance

These three events form the core sequence:

  • Identification of concerning clinical/operational practice
  • Expression of concerns regarding patient care and safety
  • Termination of employment following those concerns

  • Upon termination:
    • The phone was immediately taken back
    • I no longer had access to:
      • Emails
      • Internal messages
      • Text communications
  • Based on the timing and nature of the termination, I have concerns that:
    • The removal of the phone limited my ability to retain records of communications
    • Relevant evidence is likely still stored on employer-controlled systems

3. Corroborating Witnesses

  • Other physicians within the REDACTED group:
    • Physicians who:
      • Worked alongside meObserved similar practicesDiscussed these issues with me
    • Some physicians acknowledged concerns and expressed uncertainty about leadership decisions
  • Consulting physicians / specialists:
    • Physicians involved in patient care (e.g., pulmonology, hematology)
    • May be able to corroborate:
      • Clinical necessity of transfers
      • Appropriateness of treatment decisions
  • Hospital staff:
    • Nurses and respiratory therapists
    • May have knowledge of:
      • Care practices

      • Operational patterns within the facility
  • Administrative personnel:
    • Individuals involved in:
      • Scheduling

  • My role provides:
    • Firsthand clinical insight
    • Identification of:
      • Specific cases
      • Patterns of behavior
      • Individuals involved

Summary

  • I have:
    • Direct knowledge and limited personal documentation
  • Additional critical evidence:
    • Exists within hospital and company systems
    • Would likely be obtainable through formal legal discovery or government investigation

Internal Reporting and Actions Taken

  • I raised concerns informally during my employment regarding several issues, including:
    • Patients being kept in the LTAC setting despite being medically ready for discharge
    • Concerns that clinical decisions were being influenced by length of stay and reimbursement considerations
    • General concerns about patient care practices and safety
  • I specifically recall raising these concerns:
    • In conversations with other physicians while working
    • During a group conference call, where I questioned why patients were being kept when they appeared ready for discharge
  • In addition, I raised concerns about:
    • The safety and appropriateness of telemedicine in high-acuity LTAC patients
    • Clinical decision-making that I believed did not align with standard patient care practices

Actions Taken by the Employer

  • I am not aware of any corrective action taken in response to my concerns
  • Instead, after raising concerns:
    • I was reassigned from Cincinnati to Columbus
    • I was subjected to increased scrutiny and oversight
    • A series of complaints were raised about my performance, which I believed were not reflective of my clinical work
  • Ultimately:
    • My contract was terminated without cause on December 22, 2025

Concerns About Pursuing This Case


1. Retaliation Affecting Future Employment

  • I am concerned that pursuing this case may negatively impact my ability to obtain future employment as a physician
  • Hospital credentialing requires:
    • References from prior employers and colleagues
    • Verification forms completed by previous institutions
  • I am concerned that:
    • Individuals or institutions involved may provide negative or uncooperative references
    • This could delay or prevent credentialing at future hospitals

2. Timing and Career Stability

  • I am currently seeking stable employment
  • Credentialing for a new physician position typically takes:
    • Several months (often ~6 months or more)
  • Because of this, I am concerned about:
    • Initiating legal action before securing a new position
  • My preference is to:
    • Obtain stable employment first, then proceed with the case

3. Professional Reputation

  • My termination has already raised questions among colleagues
  • I am concerned that:
    • Further escalation (e.g., legal action) could impact how I am perceived professionally
  • Maintaining my reputation as a competent and reliable physician is very important to me

4. Confidentiality

  • I want to ensure that:
    • My involvement in any investigation remains confidential, especially in the early stages
  • I am concerned about:
    • Information becoming known prematurely within professional networks

    • Not all REDACTED cases are pursued
    • Not all cases result in recovery
  • I am weighing:
    • The potential benefits of pursuing the case
    • Against the risk and uncertainty involved

6. Dependence on Prior Employers for Documentation

  • Many communications occurred through:
    • Employer-issued devices
  • I no longer have access to:
    • Emails
    • Internal messages
  • I am concerned that:
    • Lack of direct documentation may affect the case

7. Personal and Financial Impact

  • My termination has already caused:
    • Significant financial strain
  • I am concerned about:
    • The time and effort required to pursue a case
    • Potential additional stress during an already difficult period

8. Balancing Professional Obligations and Legal Action

  • As a practicing physician, my priority remains:
    • Providing patient care
  • I want to ensure that:
    • Pursuing this case does not interfere with my ability to practice medicine effectively

Overall

  • While I believe these concerns are serious and warrant investigation, I am proceeding cautiously due to:
    • Potential impact on my career
    • Financial and professional risks
  • My goal is to:
    • Balance accountability with protecting my ability to continue practicing medicine

What I Consider a Successful Resolution
