    You've seen the scooters in Kansas City, dinky, toy-like vehicles scattered across the streets and sidewalks, praised as part of the dawn of a new age of transportation. But there's a dark side to this gig economy.

    The work did was important watchdog work on behalf of patients and families. No one else was digging out this story.

    (1/9) The latest in the ongoing story of Dr. Mark Fesen: I first wrote about him in 2014 after a whistleblower came to me. An internal auditor found widespread problems, including misdiagnosis and mistreatment of cancer patients.

    (8/9) And families of patients like Bud Dixon, who his wife Sherri says he went through painful and unnecessary chemo that didn’t improve the quality of his life. “Every night when he would go to sleep he would say a prayer that he wouldn’t wake up in the morning.”

    (7/9) It’s families of patients like Joanne Clarke, whose husband, Velven, received a chemotherapy drug called Velcade that made him want to kill himself because of the pain. “We had to go downstairs and lock up all his guns.”

    (5/9) KS law has a 2-yr statute of limitations, 4-yr statute of repose, one of the lowest medmal caps in the U.S. Those internal audits done years ago? Can’t be used in court under peer review law.

    (4/9) The U.S. Gov will get its day in court for alleged fraud. But what about the patients/families who may have received unnecessary chemo? They probably won’t.

    (3/9) Earlier this month, I got a call to check PACER. A suit filed in 2014. was unsealed by the feds. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said it was going to file a suit against Fesen for alleged Medicare fraud for unnecessary cancer treatments.

    (2/9) Patients filed complaints with the Board of Healing Arts. We wrote follow ups on another doctor at his practice. We got a lot of reader response. But there was no official action taken by the Board or law enforcement. Fast forward to 2018...
