Luther,

First off, Thank you for your service.

Secondly, you are not alone. I am not a veteran, but I have had several bad issues with doctors once they learned I was on the registry. I would have to spend an hour typing to on here to tell about all the incidents I have had about what the registry does. Doctors are sworn to do no harm but not only have I been harmed by a few doctors, harm can also mean denied service or given little or bad service. They should be ashamed of themselves as their pledge.

The doctors pledge, known as the Declaration of Geneva, is a solemn commitment by physicians to uphold ethical principles, prioritize patient well-being, and respect human rights.

I am a Veteran ..
Twelve years ago I was diagnosed with ED .. The VA tried several drugs, gave me an external pump, but eventually I had surgery to place a penile prosthetic pump inside .. I was happy because I could continue pleasing my wife (she passed in ’20) .. On the operating table, one of the nurses saw the the ankle monitor I was wearing (then) and checked the SOR for Tennessee .. She told EVERYBODY about my status .. Well, the pump stopped working and I contacted the VA Urology Department .. They had me go in for a “consultation”, which I didn’t think anything about it; that was normal .. Upon speaking with the doctor, he informed me they would not fix or replace the prosthetic because of their concerns, and went on to tell me how the information came out .. I tried to talk about the HIPPA violation and a lawyer said it’s not; because the registry is public domain .. I fought with the VA for several months and they finally said that I would need to see their psychiatrist/psychologist to talk to me to see if I was a risk .. So, I saw them .. After a few months, after speaking to me and my wife, they determined I was not a risk to children .. Then the doctor said I had to get my A1C below 6.0 before he would do the surgery .. It’s been under 5.7 for the last 3 years .. When I call they don’t return my phone calls or my emails .. Here’s the kicker …. I asked the doctor if this would be in my file and he said “No, we cannot put something of that nature in your medical file” .. Then why won’t they return my phone calls ? Sure, I’m 64 now .. BUT, this old man STILL has lots of vitality and women that want to be a part of my life .. I have lost 3 girlfriends because I couldn’t get it up .. I have been turned down by a dentist when they saw the “88” designation on my driver’s license; “88” is the code for a SO .. Though our license doesn’t say Sex Offender, it only took 2 years for EVERYBODY to know what THAT code stood for .. And the laws keep getting worse in Tennessee .. Just this year a law was passed that a sex offender CAN NOW be subject to the death penalty if convicted of certain crimes (rape of a child/aggravated sexual assault of a child) .. I fear that it is only going to get worse .. But, I pray not .

Joseph, if you are in Michigan, you can use that ruling. Florida is not bound by a decision from the Michigan Supreme Court. While it’s certainly persuasive and we are going to cite to it as such. A federal district court in the 11th Circuit is not bound by a state supreme court in a different state.

Since Michigan ruled that the Registry is punishment! You ya going to use that ruling? I sure hope so! I got sentence in 1991 and that Megan law came out in 1995 I was released finally after repeated parole (Continental Release) violations in 2011 been arrested free since

That should be shown to the court for proof of punishment!

So we are fellows in the same disgrace, friend. I cannot understand (and no one else, for sure, unless they are part of the witch hunt cohort) how they left you unattended in an emergency room of a hospital given the fact the you were suffering a heart attack, one of the most urgent, life or death medical situations anyone can be into. In that case you were vey lucky to survive and recover later. I would have placed a gross medical negligence lawsuit against the hospital. There are legal limits to what can be done to a citizen in the name of the Registry. I only hope that this time they will have to answer largely in the federal courts for the abusive and above all, unconstitutional harm they have being doing to us after we fulfilled the legal sentences imposed by the courts long time ago. Good luck friend and may God help us all and specially FAC in this noble and just endeavour!

Emil

I am very sorry that happened to you, however you are not alone. The very same thing happened to me at a hospital in Florida. I had, had a heart attack and the EMT’s rolled me in on a stretcher. They were told by a nurse to park me along a wall and they would attend to me. 4 hours later the same EMT’s came in with another patient and they stopped to ask if I had been laying there for the entire 4 hours.
I stated that not a single person had checked on me and I couldn’t believe this but the EMT walked to the nurse’s office and I could hear him chewing them out and how unprofessional they were. It took almost 10 hours for a doctor to see me. By then the heart attack had stopped and they sent me home with a note to see a cardiologist. And for nothing but just sitting around for 10 hours, I received a bill from the hospital for $2,300.00. Insurance paid part of it but they did not even do anything for me and my part of it was over $1000.00, I got sent to collections.

The registry is not a public safety utility or tool, it’s a LEGISLATIVE REVENGE WEAPON.

How do you like that ripple?
