Bird is right, a letter to the editor is a must. From each of us.

His story is definitely sad, but this story is entirely irresponsible and was obviously run as a Sunday space filler. The writer did a grave injustice not only to MS patients, but also to mental illness patients— the implied connection is entirely misleading.

I feel that Ansley Haman (may be reached at 865-342-6341) and her editor should hear from as many MS patients as possible and Knox.com should print an apologetic retraction.
