Maine’s Board of Licensure in Medicine (BOLIM) on Tuesday extended the suspension of Dr. Meryl Nass, an Ellsworth internist who criticized Gov. Janet Mills’ COVID-19 policies publicly throughout the government lockdowns.
“The Board concludes that the continued ability of Dr. Nass to practice as a physician in the State of Maine constitutes an immediate jeopardy to the health and physical safety of the public who might receive her medical services,” said the suspension letter.
The board extended her suspension until April 30, 2025, without giving Nass or her lawyer, Gene Libby, an opportunity to speak at the hearing.
They discussed the issue for under three minutes, only speaking about it long enough to motion for a vote.
The members of the board involved in the initial hearing voted unanimously to extend the suspension, while those who were not involved abstained.
The inquiry into Nass was spurred on by Dora Mills, the sister of Gov. Mills, who wrote an email to at least one board member urging them to look into Nass’s criticisms of the governor’s policies.
