If any of the "doctors" caught on tape passing out fake sick notes still have a license to practice medicine after the investigation the Department of Regulation and Licensing is derelict in its duty. These "doctors" have broken laws and the hypocratic oath they swore to when becoming a doctor.
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is conducting it's own investigation. What do you think the findings will be? What do you think they should be? If a similar situation came up in the private sector, those employees would be fired. I doubt that will be the case here. There will probably be some minimal punishment if there is any at all.
I don't get how an investigation can take more than about five minutes for either one of these entities, there is a wealth of video footage of these "doctors" passing out the notes. It's not like they were wearing a Groucho mask and doing this stuff on the down low. They stood on the street corner yelling, "Get your fake sick notes here!"...

The Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing is reviewing complaints that doctors wrote fake sick notes to people missing work while protesting Governor Scott Walker's proposed budget. The department oversees the state's Medical Examining Board.
Dave Ross, the department's secretary says "over the weekend the agency received numerous contacts concerning physicians involved in writing medical excuses for those attending rallies at the State Capitol."
"Any charge against a physician is taken seriously and this is no exception," Ross continued in a statement. "Rest assured, the agency is processing these complaints as quickly as possible. DRL will be working with the independent Medical Examining Board to appropriately review these complaints."
The statement goes on to say that part of both the Department of Regulation and Licensing and the Medical Examining Board's responsibility is to "discipline individuals who act improperly in the practice of their profession."
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is already investigating reports that some of its doctors were involved in writing fake sick notes at the protest.
