Instead, the suit said, he certifies people who qualify for the state’s medical cannabis program.<br /> According to the lawsuit, filed in Santa Fe County, the medical board began taking action against the doctor in mid-November, accusing him of “injudiciously prescribing cannabis.”<br /> It’s not clear how many patients the doctor approved for the pot program or in what period of time.<br /> The doctor, described as having practiced in New Mexico for more than 30 years, wants the 1st Judicial District Court to issue a temporary restraining order or injunction preventing the New Mexico Medical Board from continuing the process of administrative action against him.<br /> Discipline against doctors is public record and available on the medical board’s website by looking up the doctor’s name. Having action taken against him and made so publicly “will irreparably harm Dr. Doe’s reputation within the medical community” and “impact referrals to his practice,” the lawsuit states.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-71810572873313867092012-12-30T18:15:29.558-07:002012-12-30T18:15:29.558-07:00The 5th floor has tried for years to get the autho...The 5th floor has tried for years to get the authors of the anonymous posts here revealed, to no avail. they certainly do not have a stronger case now.

These retirees do what they must to keep in your good graces as to not possibly get a bad review or decertification should you not like what you read or hear and a future employer contacts you for a reference. I too, handed in a resignation letter that was short, sweet and to the point. This should have been your first clue not all was rainbows and unicorns. I would expect those who retired with me, as well as after, would do the same in an effort to protect their reputation. So please do not base officers retirements and short resignation letters as happy departures. You have been on long enough to remember “back in the day” officers loved their jobs so much that it was not uncommon for them to work 23, 25 or even 30 years, regardless of the fact they did not get any further compensation toward their retirement or pensions. Today, officers are “buying” their time just to get out. <br /><br />Also, your final statement about APD officers and the APOA taking this survey and its responses are all based on “money” is offensive. I worked many hours both on and off the clock to get my job done and do it well. I saw and see many officers going in early and leaving late and not requesting overtime or comp-time because they are dedicated to this department and the citizens of Albuquerque. Officers take work home and work without compensation to make sure a proper investigation has been completed and written up correctly. Reports and follow-up as well as loss of lunches or breaks shows how dedicated these officers are to this department, the City of Albuquerque and its citizens, yet you point your finder and tell the public that this is about money. Shame on you again, Mr. Shultz; shame on you! <br /><br />I came onto this department when we were considered the “Top 10” in the country. I was proud of this department and the Officer and Sergeant I was. I look back on my time with The Albuquerque Police Department with pride knowing I did my best for the City of Albuquerque, its citizens and even you Mr. Schultz. And for that, I have no regrets. I am, however, saddened as to what this department has become under your direction. The men and women of this department are the best at what they do and I continue to stand behind them. Please follow my lead and do the same. Learn from your mistakes and those of others and instead pointing your finger, take note and own your mistakes and do what is needed to make things right. This is not asking for anything less than what you expect and demand from your officers. I have had many supervisors during my time as an officer and supervisor with APD, some good and some bad. Those that are and were good, I learned from and used much of what I learned in my own management style. Those supervisors that were bad, however, also taught me something. They taught me what NOT to do, how NOT to act and how NOT to supervise poorly. You, Mr. Schultz have become the latter in my eyes, the eyes of your officers and now the eyes of the citizens and the DOJ. Acknowledging your mistakes and making an effort correct them does not make you a weak leader but a moral and ethical example of what every officer should see in their Chief. Please note that this editorial is also “anonymous.” Even after retirement, I as well as others must keep our anonymity for fear of retaliation or slander. Yet one more thing you should feel shameful for. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-65181886441944130692012-12-28T16:03:49.490-07:002012-12-28T16:03:49.490-07:00Part I:

I am a retired Sergeant and have seen the bias and favoritism he has used to benefit his own needs and agenda. He has, on more than one occasion, disregarded officers and has turned his back on them in an effort to favor political figures and/or favors for his benefit. I have seen this first hand. And, because of this, I have since lost respect for him and refuse to condone his “management style,” or lack thereof, or call him my “Chief.” <br /><br />When I saw his rebuttal on the news about the APOA survey I could not believe what I was hearing. Instead of taking this information to heart and taking steps to regain the respect of his subordinates, or at the very least make an attempt to increase morale within the rank and file, all I heard was denial and a “prove it to me” attitude. I have to agree with the APOA to NOT release specific responses. First and foremost, this survey was given with the promise that all would be anonymous. This is why there was such an overwhelming response. The ability to read the exact responses from officers will give Schultz the ability to analyze them and break down who may or may not have written them. And, as we all know, although deductive reasoning is not an exact science, all to often and very possibly, it will be used to prosecute or in this case, retaliate against those who gave their honest and heart felt opinions of the questions answered. <br /><br />Furthermore, I cannot believe the message Mr. Schultz is sending to the public as well as his own officers by not believing what was in the survey! Sadly, we have come to a time where an officer’s word is no longer his bond. 99.9% of all the officers I worked with as well as supervised took and take this bond very seriously. Sadly, due to the news media, court system, technology and now YOU Mr. Schultz, the day of, “an officers word is his bond” is now only believed with a tape, video or written documentation. Shame on you Mr. Shultz, this is exactly what has fueled the fire with the public and the loss of credibility toward your officers. As an officer and a man of honor, I would not lie to benefit anyone. I truly believe very few officers on this department (of the rank and file) would compromise their honor or moral standing in an attempt to discredit anyone; even you Mr. Schultz. What was found in the survey is true. Take it for what you will Mr. Shultz, but this many officers all the same page should show even a brand new investigator that the truth is stated in the numbers, not by one who refuses to acknowledge wrong doing. <br /><br />Now, lets address the comment you made of officers resigning, are not stating anything negative in their resignation letters. Mr. Schultz, not all officers who are retiring are independently wealthy or have stock portfolios to live off of when they retire. Most have families with children in school, upcoming college tuition, car payments and mortgages. And, because of you and what you have made this department, many want out regardless of the cost. There are not many officers who can leave and solely live on their pension or have the luxury of not needing a secondary career to make ends meet. They will be looking for jobs in the private sector and will need to list previous employment on their resumes and applications.
