Lynda Gag (a) Culver

I guess I wasn't the only one a little skeptical when I read Rep. Lynda Culver (R-108) said this,

“the patient can know, the doctor can know, but other than that they cannot disclose to anyone else.”
Read the rest by the reader here.

What the Frack, Gag Order on Doctors Written Into Law

Recently passed Act 13 hydraulic fracturing law bans doctors from sharing information with patients in the name of corporate trade secrets.

Read the article from the the Daily-Item here.

According to Lynda Schlegel Culver (R-108) - Paraphrasing a quote taken from the Daily-Item above, Schlegel-Culver indicated that doctors could share information about chemical contamination with a patient, but it stays right there and the patient cannot share information with their spouse.  Are you kidding me? Not being able to share a medical condition with your spouse.

In honor of Good Friday, was the 30 pieces of silver worth it?
