An FMCSA-Certified Medical Examiner has pled guilty to falsifying medical records and attempting to cover up his fraud. As part of his plea deal, he will serve probation, community service and pay a $100 fine, but will not serve even a single day in jail.
According to the DOT Office of the Inspector General, Ronald E. Sherry was the subject of an investigation after an FMCSA review found that he was conducting CDL medical exams at ten times the average rate. A joint Department of Homeland Security, DOT-OIG, and FMCSA investigation was launched.
Sherry was a physician’s assistant, licensed to practice medicine. According to court documents, Sherry would submit FMCSA medical exam forms certifying that a driver was physically fit to drive even when they were not. In some cases, he filed the forms without actually conducting an exam at all.
A press release from the DOT OIG announced that Sherry has been sentenced to 180 days of home confinement, 60 months of probation, 500 hours of community service, and must pay a $100 special assessment fee.
Treyvon Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman didn’t get community service so I think this doctor doesn’t deserve jail time either. In America one can murder and walk free. This doctor didn’t take anyone’s life.
A dr lied to CR England who had my husband return to work. Not long after he was found dead beside his truck. I was even told by CR there was nothing like work comp when something happens on the job. I have been screwed for 10 years now financially. Karma is waiting but coming soon
Go troll the antifa websites moron.Treyvon got just what he deserved. Go find some white senior citizens to beat up.
How many hours of work went into the investigation and prosecution of this case? If I made up fake licenses to practice medicine and sold them, would I get community service and a $100 fine? What’s the penalty to drivers that are driving with medical cards that this guy issued?
MrYowler,
Excellent point about the drivers! I never thought about holding drivers responsible as well, but they should be! Do you think revoking their CDLs forever is appropriate? I think they should never drive professionally again. I will turn in my keys when I can no longer qualify. I won’t like it, but I cannot risk anyone else getting hurt at my hand. And that’s why we have rules – for safety
I guarantee if it was a driver that got our log books messed up, back in the day, we got a whole lot worse punishment!
Sounds like somebody paid somebody! But that’s ok, cause you see, at the end, when Everyone stands in front of GOD one day soon, and gives an account for Everything they say and do( even the people who don’t believe) but they will, GOD is the Ultimate judge, then they will be very sorry and it will be to late then! John3:3 🦅🙏🙏🏾🐑🩸🙌🙌🏽
If everyone of us thinks and believe and apply this manner on our self then the life will be so Beautiful 😍. Thank you
Dr. Got paid
ate you kidding me? Almost every doctor is fudging the dot medical. I haven’t had a doctor touch my nuts in 10 years. If they were doing their jobs 90 percent of us would be disqualified. That includes me.
You’re fudging numbers talking about 90% dude you’re way off. It ain’t even half that smh
Times change, no nut touching or butt probing required these days. We do however have to have lower blood pressure than airline pilots… guess they have a better union?
Well Sam maybe you could bribe the Doc to touch your nuts..LOL!
I am a NJ CME performing 1700 CDL medical exams a year (I think I meet the criteria for ‘ten times’ the number of expected exams). I have never falsified a CDL medical exam and I never will. Doing these exams is a privilege and an honor and I consider it a public responsibility.
That examiner should lose their license, lose their certification, and go to jail. Their fine should be at least $250,000.
They have put the public at risk which is the opposite of the purpose of the FMCSA CDL Medical Examiner Program.
As far as the person who posted about ‘I haven’t had a doctor touch my nuts in 10 years’ I want to tell him that this is no longer the standard exam for hernias and has not been the standard for at least 15 years – so you had an extra 5 years of having someone do that for you for either their pleasure or yours.

So should I ask the NP that gave me my last 2 Physicals out on a date, bc she checked me for hernia apparently “the old fashioned” way!!? She is kinda cute
