Idaho doctors, pathology board accuse Dr. Ryan Cole of endangering public health

[TexasTowelie]

The pathology board’s letter notes his public comments that insist vaccines are harmful and masks are ineffective.


Idaho physicians allege, in complaints to a Washington medical board, that patients came into their hospitals sick with COVID-19 after taking advice or treatment from Dr. Ryan Cole, according to documents obtained by the Idaho Capital Sun through a public records request.

In addition, the American Board of Pathology urged the Washington Medical Commission to consider the actions of Cole, who is licensed to practice in Washington and previously told the Idaho Capital Sun he prescribed medications including ivermectin to at least one patient in Washington, via telehealth.

Cole is certified by the American Board of Pathology as a clinical and anatomic pathologist, a doctor who examines tissue from a biopsy to look for cancer, for example. He has operated a lab, Cole Diagnostics, for nearly 20 years as a pathologist — as opposed to examining patients or working as a primary care provider.

Cole could not be reached for comment.

The Idaho Medical Association also has filed a complaint to the Idaho Board of Medicine asking for disciplinary action, partly on that basis: a pathologist’s scope of practice does not include direct patient care, or treatment of COVID-19.
