Dr. Mary Johnson, Randolph Hospital, Governor Bev Perdue, The Department Of Corrections And PERJURY

While I'm sitting here waiting on it to rain and melt some of this ice that the DOT won't clear, I might as well blog.

Twelve years ago today, just days after completing a public service obligation to the National Health Service Corps, I was given "notice" of termination from Randolph Medical Associates . . . . in retaliation for defying the threats of Randolph Hospital executives, and intervening in a case where a dying newborn (most definitely NOT getting "care you can trust") desperately needed my help.

I get a Christmas card every year from the girl's parents.

But the rest has been a medico-legal nightmare from which I've yet to wake up.

Three years ago this month, trying to find some substance behind the empty progressive political platitudes of "transparency" and "accountability", I wrote all of the big-wigs in Raleigh, including Mike Sleazely and Bev Perdue and copied the letter to EVERY single member of the North Carolina House & Senate.

I BEGGED these so-called "representatives" for help.

Two Asheboro "non-profit" hospital executives had repeatedly LIED UNDER OATH about fiscal matters relevant to a damages claim . . . and then negotiated a deal on the lies.

Charitable institution fires doctors for all of the wrong reasons. Perjury, contempt and fraud. Perjury has NO statute of limitations.

People told me that Bev Perdue would listen (as opposed to Hunt, Sleazely, Edwards, Cooper, Black, Basnight, Hackney etc.). You see, Perdue really "cared" about children and the people who advocated, taught and took care of them.

I never heard from Bev.

And I knew we were in for more of the status quo as soon as she took office . . . when she appointed "Evil Keith" Crisco as her Commerce Secretary.

I've come to understand that the major flaw in my theories about justice in North Carolina is that I was appealing to people who put no value on the truth . . . people who would do the very same thing that Bob Morrison and Steven Eblin did if it suited their greedy/selfish purposes. People who have no honor and no shame. People who value power above all else.

From the N&O this morning:

In December, Department of Correction officials and a lawyer for the state's attorney general said in court that prison officials never authorized the release of inmates sentenced to life in the 1970s and never promised them they were going home.

(But) E-mail messages and memos exchanged within the department show that his staff considered the releases certain.

Dozens of communications between Oct. 9 and Oct. 22 show that Correction officials planned to release the inmates by month's end and began prepping them for life outside. Staff officials talked with their families, assigned them parole officers to ease the transition and told the sex offenders to register with the sheriffs of their home counties.

But in Wayne County Superior Court, two months later, Department of Correction Secretary Alvin Keller denied authorizing their homecomings.

"I never ordered anyone's release," Keller said. "We never - I never ordered the release of anybody."

It's a fascinating article . . . with state officials now back-tracking and tripping over the very fine line of perjury.

But perjury is just swell in North Carolina.

"People lie in Court every day."

"Shut up about it". "Get over it". "Move on".

And as you do that, the rapist/murderer who was supposed to be serving a life sentence can move in next door. No worries.

Yes indeed, boys and girls. Take it from Ed Cone and company, Dr. Mary Johnson's civil rights do not matter. Her predicament is not "relevant" at all.

2/3 Update: More lies. More deception. Sleazely (aka "Nick Danger" spelled backwards) had a private e-mail account that he used for "special" state business.
