Back in January I wrote an article calling for Dr. Lara Kollab’s medical license to be revoked. It’s good that the State Medical Board of Ohio is planning “to impose disciplinary action on her – ranging from limiting her license to permanent suspension as well as the potential for fines.”
There should be no question that she should get a permanent suspension, and her medical license revoked. She joked about giving her Jewish patients the wrong medicine. What if she has a patient whose political views she dislikes? Does the Ohio medical board think that she will drop her Islamic Jew-hatred after a temporary suspension?
“Ohio medical board to discipline Dr. Lara Kollab,” by Jane Kaufman, Canadian Jewish News, July 19, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):
The State Medical Board of Ohio has issued a citation to Dr. Lara Kollab that it intends to impose disciplinary action on her – ranging from limiting her license to permanent suspension as well as the potential for fines.
Kollab’s anti-Semitic tweets were publicized by Canary Mission, which exposes anti-Semitic posts on social media, resulting in her dismissal from her residency at Cleveland Clinic.
“Although you asserted in your June 2019 deposition that you now feel ashamed of your discriminatory comments, when asked if your tweets reflect good moral character, you admitted that they do not,” Dr. Kim G. Rothermel, secretary of the medical board, wrote in a July 10 letter to Kollab. “Further, for any violations that occurred on or after September 29, 2015, the board may impose a civil penalty in an amount that shall not exceed $20,000.”
Kollab has the right to request a hearing within 30 days of the notice prior to the state medical board’s action.
“We issue a citation which is basically putting one of our licensees or training certificate holders on notice that they are going to face discipline from the medical board,” said Tessie Pollock, director of communication for the State Medical Board of Ohio. “They have a right to a hearing. So they can request a hearing or we can proceed without one. I can check and see if we’ve gotten that request for hearing yet. And then it’ll be a hearing usually between that person, their attorneys, and then our hearing officers will review all the information and then they offer a report and recommendation to the board. … Then they’ll take formal action on that individual.”
As of July 22, Kollab had not requested a hearing, Pollock said. Kollab’s Cleveland lawyer, Ziad Tayeh, said on July 22 he would not discuss her situation.
Kollab admitted at the deposition that she posted two tweets in 2011, five in 2012 and four in 2013 that were anti-Semitic.
This tweet, included in the four-page letter and dating to May 4, 2013, reads, “’Studying for my med micro final, came across this. Clearly I pay attention in class and write useful notes. People who support Israel should have their immune cells killed so they can see how it feels to not be able to defend yourself from foreign invaders.’”
Kollab graduated from John Carroll University in University Heights on May 19, 2013, according to the letter, and she told the state medical board that all of the offensive tweets were written when she was an undergraduate student.
Three of the tweets, Rosenthal, pointed out were posted subsequent to her graduation, including this one, from Sept. 13, 2013, also listed in the letter: “’Norm. Jewish. Constantly remind ppl of the Holocaust, relate those who did 9/11 to Nazis, justify Israel’s bloodlust. Disgusting.’”
Kollab graduated from Touro Osteopathic Medical School in New York City in June 2018, “which you described as ‘a deeply rooted in the Jewish tradition,’” the letter reads. Kollab admitted in her deposition to deleting the anti-Semitic tweets and “acknowledged that if Touro had known of your anti-Semitic tweets they probably would not have admitted you as an osteopathic medical student.”
Oct. 18, 2018, Kollab resigned in lieu of termination from Cleveland Clinic, according to the letter…

I have sent the following to the state medical board of Ohio:
To the Board:
It would not be enough to reprimand Dr. Lara Kollab or to put her on probation. She must be punished. Anything less than that will send her the message that her vicious attitudes are, in effect, acceptable.

Thank you. One question. Who would trust or want to see a physician that has opinions like hers? I certainly would not. I would be very fearful of accepting any treatment from someone so biased! I support the “Jews” So how would she treat me as a patient? I would never go knowingly to a doctor that DELIBERATELY medicated people erroneously with the wrong meds.That to me is malpractice!
Peter says
You have to be kidding?!?! I mean, this is a felony. It is willful and reckless endangerment, besides medical malpractice and a violation of the Hippocratic Oath. The person should be facing criminal charges, if not already doing time in jail. Surely the State is not just going to allow this nasty nutter to continue to inflict herself on an innocent and unsuspecting general public? I can’t believe this is the USA you are talking about [shakes head]. Peter, Australia.
carpediadem says
Peter I agree with everything you have posted, but the epidemic of medical malpractice in Australia shows you don’t have to be Muslim to be dangerous, though this horrible bigot clearly is.
ntesdorf says
Dr. Lara Kollab is the sort of doctor that you need to steer clear of even if you are not Jewish, Evena few Shiites could be in real trouble under her care. She should be immediately bannedfrom all medical or pharmaceutical related work
RichardL says
She thinks it is normal to hate Jews. Either Jews are prevented from accidentally seeing her or she cannot work in a country where there are Jews. Since option 1 is clearly racist, only option 2 is practical.
carpediadem says
Send her to Syria!!

That’s no discipline at all. If she had said something about Muslims, it would be called a hate crime, and she would lose her license.
Guy Forester says
Since this person had only recently completed here medical school training, it appears that she was in her internship year at Cleveland. If she was, that means she had a training license. If she does not complete that first year, she is in deep doo-doo.
I had classmates that went on to Med School, so I know what they had to do get licensed. You take your final step of the boards upon completion of that “internship” year. As far as I know, she will not be able to take boards until that is done. If the boards are not taken and passed within a certain time frame, she will not be allowed to take them without additional training. In other words, she had better take her bitter pill now, find a way to make amends, grovel, and cry. However, no matter what she does, this will follow her all through her life. Unless her family has money to throw away, she will have large debts to pay and no good paycheck. She may need find a whole new career that does not require a license or scrutiny by some kind of admissions or review committee.
If there is any hope for her to make amends, perhaps she should try to go to Israel and volunteer at Hadassah Hospital or something similar, and see how life really works. You never know, sometimes people can change, but they usually need to change friends and environments to do so (clear the brain of propaganda and fake news).
Angemon says
I wonder how she feels about open borders. I’m genuinely curious, since I’ve noticed a sizeable overlap between people who believe borders shouldn’t exist and people who claim Israel stole lands…

“Kollab’s Cleveland lawyer, Ziad Tayeh”
0.8% of U.S. population is Muslim. 1/125 chance her selection of a Muslim lawyer is random. Nice to see the Islamofascist doubling down when confronted, looks like she’s remedied her thinking and ways.
Michael says
Medical errors are something that any doctor may fall victim of, as no human being is infallible. But medical ethics direct doctors through out the ages and across the globe to respect and honestly treat patients, even those on the other side of a battle field.
The comments were on record and deserve robust action from professional bodies , medical insurers and employers. They all have responsibility to the very patients she hate so much to brag about it in public.
The medical board as regulator have to satisfy itself that patients are SAFE and she is safe in treating every patient honestly and fairly, whatever their background. I do not beige she is , as the gave her testimony of intention already.
The medical insurers, one by one, should refuse to deal with her, as she declared her intentions about patients they are responsible about. The Jewish patients should approach major insurers and ask them to strike her of their books, otherwise they would be collaborators with her intentions by THEIR SILENCE.
If she is employed by any hospital, board, clinic and/or medical establishment, they should be approached by the Jewish people she so publicly declare to hate.
There is also a case for bringing a civil court case against her on grounds of blatant hatred and racism.
SHE DOES NOT DESERVE TO PRACTICE MEDICINE OR TREAT PEOPLE WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN DOCTORS.
The problem is that any crocodile tears could simply be practice of ISLAMIC TAKIA which mean right to lie , even under oath for the sake of coming out of any sticky situation.
James Lincoln says
I am a physician, Board Certified in 2 specialties. I have vast knowledge regarding state medical licensing boards, residency training, and physician credentialing.
I have posted about Dr. Lara Kollab extensively in prior threads.
Based upon my research, I believe that Dr. Kollab’s physician “in training” license should be revoked. She should not be permitted to be in any situation involving direct patient care, as a physician or otherwise.
This revocation should be permanent. This is a serious statement and I don’t make it lightly. She does not have what it takes to be a trusted physician.
All is not lost for Dr. Kollab. She could to make a decent living by using use her medical knowledge in a field not involved in direct patient care.

Hear hear.. I fully concur with U doc, Hope the medical board shows the balls to do this. But at the same time expect this creature to grovel and plead and play the victim as any typical Muslim does when cornered.
patriotliz says
She doesn’t have her “medical license” YET…she only has a training certificate for Ohio. I can’t imagine any any Residency program in Ohio accepting her. She did get accepted at Bakersfield Medical Center in California but they rescinded the offer—perhaps they were ignorant of her status or she was secretive until it was revealed through normal documentations and simply “googling” her name. She would have had to get a training license in California for that position anyhow and they would reject her application once they contacted Ohio’s medical board. I feel pretty certain, given her notoriety, it will be impossible for her get any training license or get into a training program anywhere in the US that would lead to a full medical license to practice medicine. She could go abroad and get a foreign medical license and try to re-apply in the US in the future since she is a US citizen. (Some stupid countries are actually accepting returning Jihadists to their countries because they are citizens.) But keeping her away from any and all patients, in any capacity, in the US depends on the thoroughness of background checks. I’m not at all concerned about Kollab as to whether or not she makes a “decent living.” I wouldn’t even want her as a waitress in a restaurant especially if a customer happens to look Jewish.

patriotliz says,
“She could go abroad and get a foreign medical license and try to re-apply in the US in the future since she is a US citizen.”
It is theoretically possible that she could get a medical license in a foreign, underdeveloped country. If the Ohio medical board takes action, which is likely, she will be reported to the National Practitioners Data Bank which all state medical boards must check prior to initial licensure and re-licensure.
With her history, I cannot imagine any US medical residency training program admitting her for training. Without completing residency training, a US physician cannot obtain a full Re: state medical license.
Also…
Nearly all medical students finished medical school with six-figure debts. If she were to make a “decent living”, she would be less likely to default on any student loans and not “burn” the medical school. I was not trying to be particularly sympathetic regarding her personal living standards.
Unconquered says
She may be uninsurable in the US. She laid out her own medical malpractice cases for all infidels. She obliterated her own future here, so yaayh! – thanks for the heads up, which has direr significance in islam.

Ohio medical board to discipline Muslim Dr. Lara Kollab who tweeted about giving Jews the wrong meds

Hey, check this out on Wickapedia. Touro which is a school established by Bernard Lander, a hassidic Jew and a rabbi. It is a part of the Touro College and University System. Its mission includes a strong focus on “transmit[ting] and perpetuat[ing] the Jewish heritage.”
Boy, does she have balls! She takes and then spits it back in your face. She should never ever ever be trusted and should be banned from the medical procession forever.

I sent the following to the State Medical Board of Ohio:
To members of the State Medical Board of Ohio:
As a retired physician who practiced in the US Army and in Detroit for 35 years, I urge you to permanently revoke the license of Dr Lara Kollab. Aside from lying to you on several occasions, she is clearly a vicious antisemite. Despite her claims of now feeling ashamed of her tweets, bigots such as herself do not change their stripes so easily. I would never allow myself to be treated by her, nor would I ever refer any patients to her, nor could I respect any institution that would have her as a member of its staff. I would encourage patients to go to someone or somewhere else. Attitudes such as hers should preclude her practicing medicine anywhere in the United States, or frankly anywhere on earth. I would fear for any Jewish patient who had the bad luck of finding themselves under her care. Someone with her deep-seated hatred of Jewish people, and the potential harm it could cause to her patients, is plenty reason she should not be given a “second chance.” Undoubtedly while there are probably other physicians who harbor bigoted views of certain groups of people, the sheer audacity of her believing she could express such views openly without consequence belies a complete lack of compassion and judgment and is unacceptable for a member of our profession. Dr Kollab has violated provisions of the various codes of medical ethics, including but not limited to this one from the Declaration of Geneva:
“I WILL NOT PERMIT considerations of age, disease or disability, creed, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, political affiliation, race, sexual orientation, social standing or any other factor to intervene between my duty and my patient.”
I strongly beseech you to do the right thing and permanently revoke Dr. Kollab’s license to practice medicine.
Rick Virginia says
I am a firm believer in offering 2nd chances for the most part. However in this case a 2nd chance is unjustified and unwarranted. Any Medical pro who harbors these views should never be allowed to practice Medicine! Period! I understand that Kollab has a problem the way she perceives Israelis treat Palestinians. I would like to remind her that Israel has offered the Pals a fair and comprehensive Peace on 2 occasions. Both times Arafat rejected them. So she should blame the problems on their leadership, not Israel. Finally she should ask any Pal living in Hebron, Samaria, or Judea whether they are better off since 1967 when Israel “occupied” them. I am sure she would not be flattered by their answers.
