In summary,

LCDR Core Values was a Navy-sponsored preventive medicine resident (physician) in training at the UCSD-SDSU General Preventive Medicine Residency Program when he was ordered to create a legal document that would legitimize the affiliation of a Navy facility with this accredited graduate medical education program.  The Navy facility had misrepresented itself to be a clinic providing medical care when in fact it wasn't and didn't.  An active duty Navy Captain had been assigned oversight responsibilities over this civilian program and wanted the affiliation in order to consolidate her power and influence in the Navy and in the civilian program.   While biding her time until retirement, she held a position in the Navy that had no specific duties, and made it a practice to play computer video games on her government computer during the work day.   There was no organized graduate medical education training program at the Navy facility, no supervision, and no evaluation process.

LCDR Core Values requested that he be recused from writing the legal document as he could not in good faith and conscience endorse the scheme.   Unfortunately, the Residency Director, a good friend of the Navy Captain, ordered him to "just do it."

As a direct result, LCDR Core Values alerted the Navy and the Program Director of problems posed by this legal document and advised that the Navy facility suspend it's role as a practicum site until it met accreditation standards.  In his written protected whistleblower communication, the LCDR invoked his duty to comply with rules, regulations and with Navy Core Values.

What then happened to LCDR Core Values appears to be classic whistleblower retaliation:

1. The LCDR was ordered into mental health care at Naval Medical Center San Diego.

2. The LCDR was denied a policies and procedures manual by the residency program.

3. The LCDR was coerced into a hospitalization under the threat of involuntary confinement.

4. The LCDR was involuntary hospitalized based on a false assertion that he had been combative.

5. The LCDR was inappropriately placed on a limited duty medical board, in which there were no effective limitations.

6. 

The Program Director was successfully sued for fraud and retaliation and had judgment entered against her in San Diego Superior Court.
