Jodi & Group on Dr. McDonagh: Remain member or vote him out?

[Guest guest]

Jodi,

I don't know how the other sfeel, but I think Dr. McDoangh needs to be

contacting doctors who treat a large number of RLS patients and are considered

experts at it. There is no shortage of them if Dr. McDoangh will look around.

In fact if he doesn't want to take the time to search them out, I feel sure

the RLS Foundation would be glad to give him a list. He needs to discuss with

them treatment via Sclerotherapy for RLS and set up a scientific study

acceptable to them or have referrals made by them. If they don't think enough

of the possibility to help RLS symptoms, then that is good enough for me.

Dr. Buchfuhrer, Dr. , Dr. Ondo, Dr. Earley, Dr. Elaty, etc. to name only

a few, are not so impolite as to be an interloper into our onelist group

realizing a support group frequently needs to be left on its own. We had Dr.

Levin who was a member of our group but he was an RLS sufferer which made it

different, retired and a pathologist who obviously was not interested in being

here for the sake of getting business.

On the one hand, I appreciate anything, no matter how remote, that might help,

being called to our attention. It has now been called to our attention and I

see no further advantage other then giving him an opportunity to hawk his

wares, in allowing Dr. McDonagh, to remain a member of this group. What do you

say?
