Dr Gale:
You may not remember me, but you were kind enough to call me several
months ago in response to a letter I sent you regarding a residency in
Bismarck. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to
talk with me and provide encouragement expecially now that I realize you
were/are in the midst of plenty of troubles of your own. I'd like to
let you know that I am appalled at the actions taken against
you. One always likes to believe that people "back home" can be counted on
to act appropriately and it is always disappointing to find that mean
spiritness and pettiness can be found in any population. If there is
anything I can do to help please do not hesitate to contact me. I don't
know what help a 2nd year student can provide but in any case you can count
on my emotional support. Your case has made quite an impression among
students here at CPMS so I can't help but believe that you made the right
choice in going public. Please continue your battle and I am sure that you
will prevail in the end.
By the way, after you told me that you were interested in
establishing a
residency but that you didn't believe that any of the hospitals would
sponsor one, I wrote to both Medcenter One and St. A's to explain the
benefits that they could expect if they established a podiatric residency.
The Assistant Administrator at St. A's has sent me a cautiously worded
email to say that I'd done a good job of explaining the benefits and that
they would investigate further.
If dreams come true your problems will be resolved, one of the
hospitals
will set up a residency, and I will get a chance to learn some of the
skills you've spent so much effort in learning.
Hope things clear up for you soon.
Mark Wetzel, DPM02
