Dr. Sievers' RHHC Medical Practice - Operations & Website

"When I go to the office I seem to encounter the press, thus making it much more difficult."

I find this to be such a narcissistic comment to include in a professional correspondence emailed to patients.

And why mention the girls???

I know others will disagree with me and that is fine, but I personally feel those kind of comments are manipulative and self-serving.

If I were a patient needing my records, I would be insulted & pizzed if I got that letter. Those patients KNOW his BFF has been charged for TS's murder. And he thinks they give a flying flip if he is bothered by the media when he goes to the office?

Hello? Is anybody home? Heck, I dunno. Maybe it's just me. That's fine too.

Totally agree. That statement leapt out at me too. The image that conjured in my mind was MS trying to work in the office, encountering the press everywhere - under the desks, behind the printer, sitting in the break room. I can see how that would make it much more difficult.

So, it's more difficult. He's had three months so that still doesn't explain why it couldn't be done.

Tricia interview with Sheriff Mike Scott 09/09/2015 - excerpt:

Tricia – Video time 24:25 – "We do have to be careful. We can only really talk about the people who have been arrested. It would be horrible to assume that somebody is a suspect and treat them like a suspect on the internet and have their lives torn up if they’re not. So, we have to be very careful . . ."

Absolutely right. And it's up to each person to decide their own opinion. I stand by my words. We do have to be careful. BUT when you look at the evidence in this case so far some people think he is involved and some don't. It's as simple as that.

 

[Tricia]

Respectfully SeesSeas, I do not purport to answer for Tricia but that's what we do on Websleuths....sleuth cases. The Sheriff has stated MS is within the envelope of suspicion, and has not cleared him. For those who disagree with theories presented, there is the other thread for theories not involving MS.

Thank you Riversinthedesert. You said it much better than I did so, Yeah what Riversinthedesert said.".

Is it possible that once another dr can accesses patients records they would see prescriptions unknown to patient ?

I dont understand why he hasn't complied and gotten the records out. He can get in trouble for it. Unless you are on to something and there is stuff in their records they arent aware of. Drugs prescribed? Maybe they were ordering drugs and selling them and adding them to patients charts unknown to them?


edited. IDK tho. That would have been risky and TS would have seen it in their charts.

 

[DexterMorgan]

So it's not a matter of a "digital formatting" problem because the records are in a paper form and can be moved from one place to another without any issue.

How in the hell can Mark keep these records away from the people who need them?

No. He will still need to print them out if he is giving them directly to the patients in their hands. I'm pretty sure everything was typed in and stored on computer. Like the doctors notes on said patients and what they discussed during the session, etc.

 

[human]

I think a whiz genius computer person could tell the computer to order but to not have it show up on the chart.

I agree. I find it interesting how LE talks about suspects in public now.

They carefully guard what they say. Now it's "Within the envelope of suspicion" instead of being "A person of interest."

No? I'm not sure what your saying now.

 

[FelicityLemon]

Wait... he sent this as an EMAIL, so he obviously has a computer available.

And he has, or is able to access, the patient master list as he has all the patients' email addresses.

Yet he does not have the ability to access their medical records? Or recover them via backup files?

So many other ways this could have been written. Having a lawyer write it would have been best.

I've been trying to keep an open mind towards the guilt or innocence of MS, but this communication is not good.

Not everyone is savvy about restoring the files from backups - it can be extremely frustrating under normal circumstances. I see excuses, which is it? That he doesn't have the computer? The e-records themselves? The physical files to make copies? The know-how to do this? The press? What, are they preventing him from entering the office? That last one was a huge mistake to use. Shield your face, get in and lock the door, start taking care of business. I think most patients/clients would be sympathetic that his wife was murdered, but no one wants to hear a variety of excuses.

If only he had an IT guy. :thinking:

And using the press as an excuse didn't work for not taking care of his dogs, so...

 

[DexterMorgan]

The records will show the prescription and dosage and directions that she prescribed for each patient. She will also have follow up comments on how the medicine seems to be helping or not. So I doubt ms was putting other meds down on their actual records. But the feds can cross reference her script pad to make sure everything was above boards when dealing with the pharmacies.

 

[DexterMorgan]

No? I'm not sure what your saying now.

Everything is transcribed to computers. Even her audio notes. So he may not have the actual papers until he prints them out.

Maybe with the help of an IT guy (& unbeknownst to TS) MS created "ghost" patients for billing ($) purposes which is fraud and/or prescription drug ("pill mill operation") purposes??

This is plausible if they billed insurance and Medicare directly, it's a fairly common scheme with Medicare in fact, but since they didn't bill and the patients had to submit I don't see it working. The prescriptions don't make sense either IMO because the suppliers don't fill right to the dr office, the patient still has to go to a pharmacy. I mean I'm sure there may be other ways to commit fraud but I'm not sue what they'd be

 

[Deleted member 39678]

You have to sign for your records. So when does he plan on meeting patients that really don't want too see him?

So Mark has to psychically hand over the patient records so they can sign for them? He can't do it electronically?

I brought back our original posts in an attempt to come to a conclusion.

Does Mark have hard copies available for the patients to sign for? Or is it possible for this to happen electronically?

Agree. Plus did he say he still have some patients money that paid in advance? Is his checkbook broke as well?

"We can only really talk about the people who have been arrested."

I didn't complete that sentence. That's my fault. I made it as clear as mud.

Thank you SeesSeas for giving me a chance to clarify.

It depends on the case and what LE has said publicly. Scott said Mark was on the envelope of suspicion. You can't ignore the fact that Sheriff Scott used a term that almost, ALMOST, stated Mark IS a person of interest.

We have few rules on Websleuths that are completely black and white. Most rules are solid grey.

Let me state what I meant to say "We can only really talk about the people who have been arrested but it depends on the case, it all depends on the case."

Go to any other large forum and it's a free-for-all. Horrible things are being said. We do our best to provide a safe place for people to post. Thanks to the incredible mods I think we do a pretty good job.
I am the owner and I do my best to try and make things run as smoothly as possible. Members provide most of the content and members are responsible for what they say.

Websleuths (WS) Etiquette & Information
VICTIM FRIENDLY

The "victim friendly" rule extends to the family members of victims and suspects.
Sleuthing family members, friends, and others who have not been designated as suspects is not allowed.
Don't make random accusations, suggest their involvement, nor bash and attack them.

If MS is innocent, I'm not sure that what is written here at WS would matter to him. Why would he read here? Even if he is innocent, he knows the answers to almost every question we raise, so it's not like he would come here for clues, or to better understand what motivated his best friend to murder his wife. It seems like it would be really horrible to watch us going over the details; why would he torture himself like that?

If he is cleared, all of us that feel he is guilty will be shown to have been wrong. And for that matter, if some crazy new evidence pops up that totally clears CWW and JR, we will also have to admit to having been wrong. These are just words in cyberspace, and all of us are trying to apply what we feel is the most logical explanation given the evidence we have. If he is innocent, it seems like MS would focus his anger on the vicious killers; I would hope he would at least appreciate that we are all outraged at the death of an innocent victim and in sympathy with his daughters and his wife's family.

Nothing can bring TS back, but perhaps the evidence brought out by some amazing sleuths that MS knew JR will prevent another family from losing their mother, sister, daughter. Maybe if WS had existed back in the day, CWW would have been held accountable for the Bolin murder and TS would still be alive.
