Harassment of Brian Gale
(Letter to the Editor, Bismark Tribune 5-4-2000)

(re- typed as it appeared in the Bismark Tribune)


I have been closely following the recent events concerning the unfair and extremely unnecessary treatment and harassment of Dr Brian Gale.

I have never written to the paper before, but two recent articles in the Tribune have prompted me to write.

In an earlier article the Tribune printed a story that said Dr Podiatrist (name deleted) was found to be 90 percent responsible for the death of a patient, yet the board decided not to take action.

Then, a doctor is convicted of drug charges and is given probation and community service. Oh please!!

I wonder how many people are aware that the attorney for the board of podiatric medicine is a brother-in-law to our governor?

Gale has been my podiatrist since 1994 and has always had my interest and safety in mind. A threat to our community? Ya sure, ya Betcha!

I think that there's a fox in the henhouse and it's time for some fox hunting.
