Just got the new 2012 physician directory and Sheri E. Hamnik, MD is listed under neurology.

Medical School; University of Illinois College of Medicine.
Internship; Mount Sinai Hospital
Residency; Loyola University Medical Center.

The photograph in the article is so different from the one in the book. Drugs are awful.

That is a very sad, pathetic situation.

I feel sorry for her and hope she responds constructively to this big wakeup call, but I hope the state medical licensing board yanks her license at least for a few years.

Hopefully the licensing board is strict.

Sheri E. Hamnik, MD, the doctor who was arrested is the head of the brand new primary stroke center at our village hospital. she recently moved here from virginia and worked hard to establish this much needed service in our community

What a shame and a waste. Hope she gets the help needed. What's even more tragic is that this is nothing new in the medical profession. I truly believe mandatory, random drug testing should be a prerequisite to any position in a hospital.

I am a stroke survivor and may have called for her services in the future. Thank you so much Redwitch for bringing this to our attention!!

[2BNTV]

So sad. This doctor needs help and the willingness to overcome this problem.

I hope she gets it and does what's right to get her life back on track.

I was happy when she was appointed head of The Villages Hospital new certified stroke center. Met her, seemed nice and also knowledgable, planned to make an appt, not now. Maybe already she is no longer head of stroke center. If another stroke strikes I'll go to Munroe for sure now.
What was she thinking ???????????????????

[paulandjean]

Think its a little early to say pull her license for a couple of years.Maybe one or two drinks over,not sure.. The pills,do not know,seems mighty strange.Maybe when all the facts come out,something will make sense.

[graciegirl]

Played golf this morning with one of her patients and he had high praise for her as a physician.

She worked so hard for her success.

This is tragic.

[The Village Girl]

Never come out looking pretty.

Don't ask me how I know this!

[graciegirl]

bump for paulandjean. No conspiracy....see?

[paulandjean]

Just seems strange,gone like that. Such a newsworthy story within our village. Picking up dog poop might be more news. Maybe pressure from some other sources.

Are you talking about THIS thread? Or lack of news in the paper or what?

I am confused.

She must be a brilliant woman to have attained that position. She obviously has some personal demons to confront. I hope she gets any help that she needs and that she continues to be a positive influence in the medical community.
