WHEN RULES DON’T EXIST, NO ONE IS PROTECTED 

 

STOP PUNISHING CLINICAL JUDGMENT. PROTECT PROVIDERS. PROTECT PATIENTS.

 
A clinician lost everything… for recommending a treatment that was never performed.

 

Not performing it.
Not causing harm.

 

Recommending it.

 
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE CASE — THIS IS HOW RIGHTS DISAPPEAR

Not with a new law.
Not with a public vote.

 

But quietly.

 

With unelected politically appointed boards deciding:

• “We’ll make the rules later.”
• “We’ll ignore the evidence now.”
• “We’ll punish first, justify never.”

And when challenged?

 

• The system (courts) says: “That’s acceptable.”

 
LET’S BE UNMISTAKABLY CLEAR

• Not one complainant ever received pelvic floor therapy (PFT)
• Not one patient who actually received PFT has ever filed a complaint

The discipline was based entirely on: 

• A recommendation
• Not an action
• Not an outcome

This is no longer regulating treatment.

This is regulating clinical judgment itself. 

 
THIS IS GOVERNMENT OVERREACH, PLAIN AND SIMPLE

A system where:

• Rules are created after the fact
• Evidence is ignored without consequence
• Experts are dismissed despite contradicting findings
• Approved training is redefined overnight
• Punishment happens without justification
• And courts allow it to stand

That is not regulation.

That is control.

 
THIS IS THE PRECEDENT BEING SET

If this stands:

• You can be punished for a recommendation alone
• Treatment does not need to occur
• Harm does not need to exist
• Standards do not need to be written
• Evidence does not need to be followed

You don’t have to break a rule.

They can create one for you—after the fact.

 
IF YOU HOLD A LICENSE

You are not protected by:

• Your education
• Your documentation
• Your outcomes
• Your experience

You can:

• Follow every guideline
• Practice ethically for decades
• Use evidence-based care

…and still lose everything.

 

Because now, your clinical reasoning itself can be treated as misconduct.

 
IF YOU ARE A PATIENT

You’re not protected either.

 

Your options disappear

 

Providers will stop recommending:

• Pelvic floor therapy
• Specialized treatments 
• Anything that carries regulatory risk 

Your autonomy is taken

 

• Mandatory third-party observers
• No right to refuse them

You will be forced to receive care with a stranger present
even if you explicitly do not want that.

 
Your costs rise. Your access shrinks.

 

• Increased staffing requirements
• Small clinics pushed out
• Fewer providers willing to treat

Result:

• Less care
• Higher cost
• Worse outcomes

Your care may no longer be about YOU

 

Instead of:

• Clinical judgment
• Individualized treatment
• Evidence-based decisions

You get:

• Whatever a regulatory body decides is acceptable
  —even if they don’t perform the treatment
  —even if it contradicts the training they approved

 
WHY THIS SHOULD CONCERN EVERYONE

This is bigger than one profession.

 

This is about whether:

• Facts still matter
• Standards must exist before enforcement
• Evidence still carries weight
• Expertise is respected

Or whether:

• Decisions can be based on feelings/perception, not proof.

 
WHAT WE ARE DEMANDING — AS THERAPISTS

We, as licensed providers, call for:

• No discipline for recommendations grounded in objective findings
• Clear, written standards before enforcement
• Zero tolerance for retroactive rulemaking
• Evidence-based disciplinary processes
• Recognition of established clinical training and guidelines
• Protection of clinical judgment
• Equal treatment under the law for all providers

WHAT WE ARE DEMANDING — AS PATIENTS

We, as patients, call for:

• The right to receive recommendations based on clinical need—not fear
• Full access to evidence-based treatments, including pelvic floor therapy
• The right to accept or refuse who is present during our care
• Protection of our privacy, dignity, and autonomy
• Care guided by medical expertise—not administrative interpretation
• Transparency in how treatment standards are created and enforced

We do not want restricted care.
We do not want controlled options.

 

We want informed choice.

 
TAKE ACTION

If you:

• Hold a license
• Receive care
• Or expect fairness in how decisions are made

This affects you.

 

Because if this stands:

• Clinical reasoning becomes a liability.
• And patients pay the price.

SIGN THE PETITION
SHARE IT. MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE

 
FINAL REALITY

When a provider can lose everything for recommending care that was never performed…

 

We are no longer regulating healthcare.

 

We are controlling it.

 
BECAUSE IF RULES DON’T HAVE TO EXIST…

Nothing protects you.

• Not your license.
• Not your profession.
• Not your healthcare.

Nothing.

 
AND WHEN RULES CAN BE MADE UP AFTER THE FACT…

You don’t have rights.

 

You have permission.

 

And permission can be taken away.
