Maryland Attorney
General’s Office Caught in a Mire of Corruption
On December 21st
2016 Mark Davis MD went before the Maryland Board of Physicians. The matters discussed
below in this brief article were resurrected from 1990 during this hearing
along with the contents of a fraudulent charging document concocted by attorney
Robert Gilbert of the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, which he wrote in
2006. The charging document was so viciously false and its complexity so
deprecating an e-book is being prepared for its presentation to the public.
Needless to state Mr. Gilbert, in his legal capacity, was able to convince the
Board of Physician members that his charging document was true though one of
the two physician reviewers it was based on stated Dr. Davis followed the standards
of care. Additionally Dr. Davis was cleared in the majority by an
administrative judge 2007. Facts get in the way because lies make better news.
Dr. Davis was told in writing he should never again apply for a medical license
in Maryland though he passed a national test of competence in 2016. In our
e-book we will discuss in detail how politicized and corrupt the Maryland Board
of Physicians is and details of Dr. Davis’ disgusting treatment by them. Please
read below. All comments are welcome. All documents related to this article are

As the summer receded in
1989 I made a huge mistake for myself, my family, co-workers and investors, I
purchased a nursing home in Maryland. A toxic group of Maryland Administrative
entities knew before the ink was dry on the contract of this facility, Poplar
Manor Nursing Home, would close no matter what its new owners would do to save
it. Anyone caught in the vortex of this transaction, including this author,
would be pulled down into a never ending spiral of legal chicanery. A document
noting this facility was on track to be closed was withheld from the potential
new owners by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) and
its attack dog the Maryland Attorney General’s Office. New management moved in
on or about August 1989 and the latter two entities, who entrapped us, tried to
move us out before 30 days was up. As medical director for 8 years I was not
aware the facility had problems in categories outside of my control. The
withheld document is part of a forthcoming e-book and included here as document
1. The State of Maryland’s parasites were not finished. They not only wanted
the facility closed their intention was to bury the major owner, it’s former
medical director. Their tools were a sea of lies, misrepresentations and legal
entanglements for the end purpose, medical license revocation and removal of
nursing home ownership. There was no coincidence that J. Joseph Currans, the
Maryland Attorney General, was running for reelection during this time in 1990.
This meant he needed a cause celebre to run on. He used Poplar Manor as one of
his fulcrum’s for reelection. That is, he personally saved hundreds of patients
from an evil doctor, 12 associate doctors and his approximately 160 workers. Curran’s
wanted people to believe the ownership spent 5 million dollars to torture
patients and run a nursing home into the ground. The narrative was false then
as it is now to keep this physician out of practice in Maryland and keep
another corrupt politician in office.
By the end of 13 horrifying
months, orchestrated by Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH),
management was replaced. New physicians were brought in to work with patients
and the facilities bank accounts were removed from our control and eventually
emptied. Since there were no malpractice cases filed or complaints from anyone what
was the basis for this unfounded change in the facility personnel. Two
physicians from University of Maryland, Dr. George Taler and Dr. Timothy Keay were
brought in to cover up the incompetence of the State physician reviewer, Dr. Lois
Leonard. It seems Dr. Leonard was not qualified to review nursing homes or any
other facility because she did not have the prerequisite training to do so. Her
post medical school training was a 1 year rotating internship. Yet the DHMH
hired her to monitor nursing homes and other facilities. She was not qualified
to place a band-aid on a finger. Drs. Keay and Taler were profoundly involved
in the following illicit activities.
1) They were engaged to review physician services
by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, not the Board of Physicians, who
was the only legal Maryland authority empowered to review licensed physician services
during this period of time.
2) They did not follow the
collective protocols of the Board of Physicians and the Maryland Medical
Society to perform physician reviews which were in force at the time. Documents
2, 3,4,5 display their mishmash reviews which are nearly illegible, outside the
standard of review and far from accurate.
3) In an affidavit filed
by George Taler on July 5th 1994, affirmed under the penalties of
perjury, Dr. Taler knowingly perjured himself with the help of the Maryland
Attorney General’s Office by the following:
a) Document 6 and 7 is
Taler’s affidavit.
b) In Document 7 Dr. Taler
claims he reviewed a representative sample of patients at the nursing home.
This indicated he chose the medical records personally, untrue. Document 8 displays
Drs. Taler and Keay were given the charts to review. The starred names were the
patients reviewed by the State employed Physician, Dr.Lois Leonard. Dr. Leonard was specifically sent
into the facility to find anything she could wrong with physician care, when there was none. Drs.
Keay and Taler were sent in to cover up her work and confirm her lies. The
evidence cannot be interpreted any other way. c) In document 7 Dr. Taler states
he had no personal gain from the review. Yet in documents pages 9-11, which is
the contract for Drs. Keay and Taler to review medical records, it states
they would paid over $4,000 in 1990
funds, more lies.
Perjury was okay because
it was backed by Maryland Attorney General’s Office. Civil and criminal charges
were based on erroneous medical record reviews. A nursing home was closed and 157
patients were displaced because of phony medical record reviews. Additionally one
hundred sixty people lost their jobs because of an out of control health
department and administrators wanting to move up the food chain. Upwards of a
half a million dollars is unaccountable from the facility’s accounts. Most of
all a God fearing physician was dragged through the media, the legal system and
to financial catastrophe for absolutely nothing.
When Dr. Mark Davis filed
case number 1819, September term, 1994 before the Maryland Court of Special
Appeals the Maryland Attorney General’s Office took quick notice. Two attorneys
from this self-serving corrupt office requested Dr. Davis to drop this case and
in return they suggested they would enable him to have his medical license
reinstated. He did drop the case and they helped him regain his medical license
1995. The Medical Board, by a unanimous decision, returned his medical license.
The Board realized the initial case filed against Dr. Davis was nothing less
than dreck. If this case had been heard
perhaps the current Attorney General of the time, J. Joseph Currans would have
been brought up on charges. There is much more to this case. Attorney Gilbert
must be outed for his erroneous statements before the December 21, 2016 Maryland
Board hearing and the unfounded charging document he concocted in 2006. This
article only touches the surface of the vast corruption in the Maryland
Administrative authorities noted here. No patient was harmed in any manner by
Dr. Mark Davis, yet hundreds were harmed by the authorities discussed in these
pages. Please look for the complete
e-book on this case coming soon.
