Bryanna, Would you roll back to page 1, the 3rd paragraph of my last note to you - and address my concerns about complaining to the state dental board? You've suggested it before, but you've never addressed the legal limitations of going to them. I wish I could just get a meeting with the dean and all those concerned with this plus a few people on MY side besides me and my daughter. I feel if everyone spoke together, we could work together.

It's like a game of "gossip" - you know - where one person whispers a fact to another - and on down the line. When the last person in line states the fact as heard and changed just a bit by each person playing, it's a totally different thing. That's what I feel is happening at the school.

They probably feel (and rightly so) that I'm not going to do anything other than what I've done. And that's certainly been ineffective. This type of treatment is going to continue until someone makes a public issue of it and they then have to, at least, respond.

My health is deteriorating so fast with all this going on with other longstanding problems that I might not last to sue them, complain to the state board or take it public. I feel they might be counting on that, too. If I ask for my records, I'm sure they will dismiss me as a patient or charge me a mint for copies which I can't afford.

Again, can you really talk with me about the factual aspects of complaining to the board or suing the school? I understand if you'd rather not. Thanks, anyway. Jon
