Heroism hard on heroes
wjEROISM IS HARD on the hero, but often
H beneficial to his friends and those who come
after him. Dr. Teddy Darocha probably doesn't
consider himself a “hero” but a lot of small-town
doctors can consider him one, and others in years
to come may be grateful for the precedent he has
set.
Teddy Darocha has battled the ponderous
federal bureaucracy, and while he hasn’t yet won
the war, he has scored a major victory and
established a legal precedent which may keep the
bureaucracy from doing to others what it has done
to him.
Thanks to Dr. Darocha and his friends and legal
protectors, a federal Administrative Judge in
Albuquerque last week sharply slapped the wrists
of the Texas PRO and the federal medical
bureaucracy and established the right, even of
small-town doctors, to due process and a fair trial
before punishment is assessed.
This doesn’t really represent a triumph of justice
for Teddy Darocha...he has already served eight
months of a two-year “sentence” suspending him
from Medicare practice and it’s doubtful that he’ll
be able to recover much of his loss, if any...and he
still faces the possibility of more expensive
litigation on the charges brought against him
before he’s through. It has been a bruising and
costly experience. He could have saved a lot of
money by riding out the two-year sanction without
a fight. But Teddy Darocha is a fighter, and
because he is he may save other doctors from
having to go through the same abridgement of due
process.
And because he chose to stand and fight, there
has already been federal legislation to correct
some of the bureaucratic abuses of the PRO
process...and those who have set themselves up as
judge and jury have now learned some of the limits
to their excessive power.
It has been a costly process for Dr. Darocha. and
it isn’t over yet...but those who are willing to stand
up for their principals have often, in our history,
paid the price for the rest of us.
As we used to hear from the arena announcer at
our rodeos when a rider has been bucked off before
the whistle sounds, “Give him a big hand,
folks...his only reward is your applause." So give
Teddy Darocha a hand...he hasn’t been bucked
off, but he’s paid the price.
