Yes, I do.
The doctor in the o.p.'s video is Lou Sanner.
He is a doctor with U.W. Health.
His picture, from U.W.Health website, is in a post right above this one.

Wisconsin's Real Doctors and Their Fake Sick Notes for Protesters

(The author)Ford Vox is a brain injury physician and journalist based in Boston. His writing on health care policy and medical science has appeared in diverse media outlets including Reuters, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, Salon and Slate.

After viewing the videos at my request last night, Dr. Arthur Derse called me up exclaiming, "Holy mackerel! It's much worse than it looked in the paper. I'm stunned, absolutely stunned." Dr. Derse is the Director of Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities a the Medical College of Wisconsin. "When all's said and done, it's really the profession of medicine that has the black eye in this case," he says.

There is no question these doctors are masking political opinion in the white coat of the medical profession, Dr. Derse believes. "The videos are pretty damning."

It's sad, but what puzzles me most is how in the world three of the four physicians I can identify from these videos and other media reports are faculty members of UW's Family Medicine department, and one is a senior resident in that same department...What were they thinking?

Vox goes on to identify two of those doctors...

The videos, including an especially uncomfortable one featuring resident Dr. Patrick McKenna (son of a teacher!), make their intentions transparent and reveal they didn't think too far ahead...

Elsewhere in the tape UW faculty member Dr. James Shropshire signs a fake sick note for the MacIver videographer, who tells him he's from California and isn't tolerating the cold Wisconsin weather so well. Dr. Shropshire responds flatly, "So I'm concerned about that. I'd like you to take the rest of the day off today, get some rest, and try to stay healthy," and signs his excuse note...

And, it appears from this article, the Wisconsin Medical Society is aware that the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board is already looking into the issue...

I discussed what happens next with Dr. Tim Bartholow, Senior Vice President for policy, membership and professional development at the Wisconsin Medical Society. "We do know that our medical examining board is aware, and I think they need to be aware," he says. "I don't think our medical board will be reluctant to respond if they find misrepresentation."

And, this is confirmed here in a statement from Dr. Bartholow.

Vox ends his narrative with...

I've requested interviews with the four UW physicians I could identify and hope to share their side here with you.

There are four incriminating videos on Vox's page. Here is the last one. Check out that box full of blank excuse forms, at the 1:56 mark, then tell me it is a hoax and that there are only isolated incidents.

Don't bring facts into it.......
Some people are already confused enough.
I think the point has been made by some that their agenda includes and acpets fraud and theft, if it enables their side.

So true. I've always tried to maintain civility in my discussions here, but it is getting harder and harder. I think I'm turning a new leaf. Unfortunately, it may hasten my demise in the world of ATS.

Anyway, I'll return later and post more info I've found, including photos and identities of some of those quacks in the videos.

Specifically for those who believe themselves to be too intellectually superior to even follow a link to an article affiliated with Fox News, here is the statement on UW Health's site, regarding their initiation of an investigation.

Not a FOX News link

And, here is their facebook page, where they address a couple of posts

Not Fox again

I was not addressing the OP but WTFover who posted a video of a female doctor.

He is a doctor with U.W. Health.
His picture, from U.W.Health website, is in a post right above this one.

Yeah, he looks nothing like the woman in the pink mittens in the video I asked about but thanks.
