"POLITICS HAS NO PLACE IN MEDICINE!" The Railroading of Dr. Bob


By Teressa Brewer

Politics has no place in medicine!

The recent railroading of Dr. Bob Oksenholt and the blatant disregard for his patients which Dr. Mullins and Mr. Cahill have demonstrated in our community is appaulling, outrageous and illegal. Our rights as patients have been grossly violated.  Our rights to our doctor ignored and trampled upon.  Dr. Bob is the only doctor I trust in Lincoln City, because he earned it, after I have survived several instances of malpractice by other doctors here and elsewhere.

Patients have been caught up in the cross fire of Mullin's and Cahill's under handed tactics and gross disregard for us our rights to our doctor, who frankly is the best doctor in town.  You can believe what his patients will tell you and the numbers will prove.  These facts don't lie.  The fact is that most all of his patients improve with his care.   

He's my hero!  He removed a piece of glass out of my foot that I walked around on for FOUR YEARS, because EVERY other doctor in two different states said that I must have general surgery, which included another intubation, which would risk my voice again.  Only Dr. Bob had the courage to take that piece of glass out of my foot the way that I needed him too, without risking my singing voice, which I had lost for two years in 1999, due to another doctor's screw up while intubating me for surgery.

I am one of his patients who did not receive any first letter.  I received a follow up letter after the administration called and cancelled my scheduled appointment which was to be in only a few days.  I firmly informed the woman making the dreaded call after hearing the news, to give Mullins and Cahill a piece of my mind which I gave to her to pass onto them.  

I'm seriously appalled at the disregard for us demonstrated by these SHS's administration and our doctor.  Their actions give me and all his other patients grounds for a law suit for violation of our patients’ rights and our human rights.  I believe that a class action lawsuit is the only thing that will get the message across to SHS’s administration that patients and their well-being should be their top priority, not the bottom line dollar figure or their million dollar salaries.  But good luck finding an attorney to take such a case!

Finding an attorney to take a class action is another matter altogether and has proven very difficult.  Therefore, this confirms to me again, that the greatest risk to our community’s health is corruption within our medical and legal system and this entire thing with Dr. Bob proves that to me and many others.

I’m very glad that Dr. Bob will be opening his own office here and has refused to be railroaded by SHS. I hope and pray that his office will be opening very quickly.  Bravo Dr. Bob!  I’ve spoken to several patients whom I know in the community and they want you to know that they will wait for you. Hopefully this won’t cost us our lives. We need you.  We love you.  Thank you, for being our wonderful Dr. Bob and for your incredible courage and care!  

As for you, Mullins and Cahill, obviously, you didn't realize Dr. Bob's integrity or who you were messing with or how much support would rise up for him or how much his patients love him.  That's the difference between you and him.  He shows his integrity to us.  You left us hanging and demonstrated yours with your underhanded maliciousness to attempt to send our doctor away from us, ignoring what is best for us and our human and patient rights, which hit some of us like you were trying to knock the wind and our life force out of us!  How dare you!  You must often feel really chilly when your heart is so cold!

The Secret Key to Recovery for All Survivors of Abuse

‎"This is for every person in the world who has survived an abusive family, relationship or sociopath, female and male:

 "Getting "through" abuse and recovering from it is easier to focus on, than getting "over" it. It takes time to heal and you are not alone in your struggle. First you must realize that you are worth it and deserve so much more. You must learn to value and love yourself and undo all the negative programming and "you messages," which you have been made to believe and become your own protector of yourself, your mind, your heart and your spirit. This is the key to recovery: Love and trust go hand in hand. One does not exist without the other. There is no real love without trust. One must learn to trust their inner instincts, how to love themselves, but to do that you must love and trust yourself first and learn to trust that urging and how to listen to that small voice within. You will learn to trust when you begin to love and trust yourself and your own instincts and judgments. Once you can do that and you've proven to yourself that your instincts were correct, you will learn to trust again. Because your own instincts will confirm to you who you can trust. This is the whole secret to getting "over" the abuse. The key is learning to trust again and first we must learn to trust ourselves. To protect ourselves we must trust our own inner judgement about who is dangerous and who is not. Having learned these things, will bring forth your own inner light, that part of you that is connected to the creator, to divinity, and it will shine brightly for others to love and learn from too." - Teressa Brewer
