Kaiser Permanente doctor commits perjury
November 3, 2007
Kaiser Permanente surgeon Bruce Barker pleaded guilty to perjury last week. It has been suggested that a willingness to play fast and loose with the truth might be a desirable quality in a Kaiser doctor (for Kaiser the organization and its medical legal department, that is), but who are we to say? Maybe it’s only a coincidence that medical records end up missing in virtually every Kaiser case that makes it to arbitration.

Dr Barker is a good man who has helped alot of people. Unfortunately this time it cost him his freedom.

Committing perjury isn’t helping anyone, it’s a crime. Good people do make bad choices sometimes, but to say that he lost his freedom because he “helped” someone is not an accurate statement. He lost his freedom because he committed a crime.
