Subject: INCREDIBLE !!

I was a patient of Dr X's and upon an appointment, got lucky and had  you for my doctor and since then, we have had a long relationship. Because of your compassion and professionalism, I have referred many people to you. I will continue to do so.

I find it incredible that Dr. X has been 41% negligent in a case and   'gets away with it',
and these charges are brought against you and yet not one has sued  you for malpractice and you have to go through this. I fully understand  what is happening here and I am appalled!  I can't say that I am surprised in the fact that politics   does have a play here and there have been other doctors that were 'run  out of town' because of the maliciousness of other doctors or 'board'  members. Also I do have difficulty knowing that some of the doctors  have been on the board all too long....but again, that is politics of  this profession as it is in others.

I pray that these people will wake up and see that they are turning on  perhaps the best podiatrist in our area. Now if they will get off their  high horse and call a spade a spade.

As you know Brian...I have lots of faith in you and I sincerely wish you  the best. You are a very strong man to have endured this for these many  years.....don't give up now!

My best,

Peggy Anderson
