Uh Oh!! If I were that doctor I'd be very very careful. You never know who is listening in on this site...mmm....mmm....tsk...tsk... Calling folks is not a good idea. It's one thing expressing one's opinion within the confines of a support group for sufferers of adhesions. It's an entirely different ball game for a doctor to call folks and slander (actually worse than that) a human being. MMM...MMM... It also just won't look good either. This is for adhesions sufferers. It's their support group. It's their friends. It's for their emotional and psychological well being and their mental health. Folks who are in pain are already in a fragile or delicate condition. Then some doctor comes in from out of nowhere, just pops in, (was he stalking, hunting for patients, intruding, peeping, or...????) and threatens one group member and fellow ard sufferer, then begins making calls???? UH OH...I hope some folks have tape recorders. This doesn't smell so good. The adult thing to do would be to apologize to the group for interfering, being nosy, butting in to a private discussion among ARD patient's, and apologize to those who were hurt directly then, put one's nose back into one's own support group (for peeping toms or whatever that person's support group is) unless of course the person suffers from ARD and is seeking support, not worry about anything for if the person is really good at what they do and are not here trying to get patients (like those unscrupulous ambulance chasing lawyers), then they really have nothing to be concerned about as it's just a bunch of folks in pain and suffering in here who are sharing their personal lives with each other in an open and honest fashion. Hmmm...hopefully no one else is harmed by the stress this is creating, the violation, confusion, tension, etc... I'd be afraid there would be more than one person who may seek legal recourse and would close the door really quick. Just my own personal opinion.
