“INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IS DEAD”

Subject: They admitted a “head nod” is enough… while destroying a man who had the patient’s sworn testimony under oath.

Supporters —

This is not subtle anymore. This is open, documented hypocrisy.

The same Board that invented a “written consent” standard during Scott Roberts’ disciplinary hearing — a standard that did not exist in any published regulation — later admitted in a public meeting that a simple head nod is legally sufficient for informed consent.

Let that sink in.

They destroyed a provider who had:

• Verbal consent
• Documented consent
• Written elements of consent
• And the patient herself testifying under oath that she gave consent

…while publicly acknowledging that a head nod would have been good enough for anyone else.

This is not regulation. This is a targeted hit job.

When a court ruled that the Board violated Roberts’ constitutional right to due process, they didn’t fix it. They doubled down. They reconvened for the sole purpose of punishing him again, backdated an order to evade the court’s ruling, and still refused to create an actual, transparent rule that would apply to the entire profession.

They are operating as judge, jury, and executioner — inventing standards mid-hearing, ignoring sworn patient testimony, and then casually admitting a lower standard is fine for everyone else.

This is why we are here. This is why this petition exists.

If a politically appointed board can do this to one provider, they can do it to any of us. Your signature is not symbolic. It is a public record that we see the double standard, we see the retaliation, and we will not look away.

Keep signing. Keep sharing. Keep the pressure on.

Every new signature makes it harder for them to pretend this is just “one case.”

We are not done.
