Subject: I support you!

Dear Dr. Gale,

I know that you are and will be one of the heroes of our profession! Hang in

there!

I know first hand how vicious podiatrists can be. My own father is one and we

don't speak. Its been since he told me I was too stupid to go through Pod

school and now I have a good practice and even did a RPR/PSR!  I really hate

those negative old guys. The are so insecure and cruel.

If it helps you to know, my best friend is a general surgeon and she is being

picked on beyond belief by her own kind. She is standing up for herself and

it is a huge battle. When you are good, people hate you for it.

I really respect you for fighting them. It is an awful, awful shame that you

are having to go through this. You are a hero of our profession. I will be

praying for you that this needless, sickening mess is over soon for you. By

standing up, you are making it better for all who follow. Thank you!
