Artist –

I never ever meant to suggest people didn't believe that they weren't thinking for themselves, so much that I just believe folks are making a mistake in ascribing to someone I had the privilege of meeting in a professional relationship (Robert J. Schwartzman) all of the sins, real or imaginary of the medical community.

And for that matter, who among us hasn't labored in an occupation for a good number of years where our professional views haven't changed over time? Yet what's going on here is that stuff is being pulled out against a man, as though every position he took over God knows how many years is being held against him as though it was yesterday, and then others are coming along and piling on him like he's the Anti-Christ.

Frankly, and at the risk of alienating some, I am at times left with the imagery of a bunch of town folk, storming the castle with torches and pitchforks. Let's see, if Schwartzman is Dr. Frankenstein, does that make me his monster?
