Dr. Rea

[Guest guest]

Didn't he win?

I got the impression that the board was chastised and that these 'anonymous'

complaints were in all probability coming from some 'cheap-ass' insurance

companies in an attempt to EVADE paying for the injured people's care. (Dr.

Rea i gathered doesn't take insurance directly, but these courageous people

had the nerve to try to get reimbursed and the insurance companies seemed to

go ballistic.)

There really wasn't any other plausible explanation that I could see.

*The people who had received the care were not complaining.*

(They felt that Dr. Rea had saved their lives.)

You know, a very good argument could be made that the way we structure

corporations is wrong. They have become completely unaccountable for

anything and they do things like this with absolute impunity. This is a

perfect example.

Corporations are 'legal persons' and are given rights of real people, like

free speech, (spending their stockholders money on lobbying which the

stockholders may not even agree with) But corporations don't have almost any

of the very real responsibilities (like accountability for criminal acts)

that people have.

For example,in situations like the Enron one, its very hard to find

accountable people to put in jail. They also don't die. They have millions

of ways to avoid accountability.

So when they lie or cheat, its very hard to punish any real persons. (Real

people do exist in these companies, THEY should be held accountable, they

who actually make the decisions to do these things.)

So now they have ruined at least a year of Dr. Rea's life, I am guessing,

and cost him a huge amount of money.

But the people who he had helped, the ones the probable insurance company

'anonymous' complainers claimed were taken care of improperly, were

INSISTANT that they were HELPED by him, so how can he possibly be guilty of

anything?

That is what came out of that hearing, I thought. That these intimidation

tactics by insurance companies have crossed a line and people agree on that.

This prosecution was a HUGE injustice. Who will pay him back for that?

Okay guys, I feel the need to set the record straight here. Normally

I read the posts with pleasure but occasionally you guys " ruffle my

feathers. " I spent an entire YEAR living in Dr. Reas facility and I

am still here in Dallas three years later. First of all, his units

for the patients are anything but sterile. They are motel rooms that

have been modified to be as EI safe as possible. They remove the

curtains and carpteting, and install metal blinds and tile in its

place. The furniture is organic cotton futons and bedding. He

installs austin air filters and filters the Dallas city water. THAT

IS IT! So, how does this get to be called " sterile housing? " I feel

that you all can have an honest opinion if you have been there and

worked at the clinic for awhile and then give your opinion. Otherwise

it is pure speculation. The man is 75 years old and continues to work

6 days a week for his patients. Give him a break... Some say it is

about the money, but this doc does not need the money my friends.

I think if you visit and work in a facility and want to give your

opinion, good or bad, then by all means, go for it. But, how can you

honestly judge a place if you have not tried it yourself? If some of

you have friends that have gone there and not improved, there are a

million reasons why that could be, just like some of us are not well

now after trying so hard. Just my two cents worth.....D
