letter to Dr. Long at MGH

[Guest guest]

Here is the first letter I sent to him by fax.

March 23, 2002

Dr. Aidan Long

Clinical Director, Allergy

Allergy Associates

Massachusetts General Hospital

55 Fruit St.

Dear Dr. Long;

I want to thank you and your associate, Dr. Krishna, for

finally sending us your reports. After reviewing your reports, I have

some problems with the accuracy of what you report or, in particular,

left out.

To start with, you state that we were seen on December 6,

2001 and Dr. Krishna states, by the date of her report, that we were

seen on December 13, 2001. In FACT, we were actually seen on Friday

December 7, 2001. This is a day after you state you saw us and six

days before Dr. Krishna states she saw us.

As you know, we came to see you due to unexplained illnesses

we were having, especially Virginia. We asked if these illnesses

might be caused from mold? More directly, we asked if Stachybotrys

mold might cause these conditions. You stated you had NO KNOWLEDGE or

background in Stachybotrys and could provide no answers.

Imagine our surprise to read your reports and learn that we

have nothing to fear from mold! I question how you can make these

statements and observations on a subject that you stated you have no

knowledge of? Why did you make these inaccurate and misleading

statements on facts you admit you know nothing about?

In my review, you state that I have no allergies. I had

informed you, which you failed to mention in your report, that I have

been allergic my entire life to Penicillin. I even mentioned that the

US Army had deemed me as allergic to Penicillin and had given me a

medical allergy alert tag to be worn with my Dog Tags. Perhaps I

outgrew this allergy!

In regards to Virginia, your staff had told Virginia, and you

had stated the same, that she had failed the breathing test. She was

asked if she had smoked and she replied NO.

You mentioned that there was something in her lungs that needed to be

tested further but you have failed to make any followup appointments

for her with anybody in the Hospital.

By failing to include these facts in your reports, you have denied Dr

Mahoney this knowledge.

You also stated that due to your lack of any knowledge of

Stachybotrys, you might make a referral to the Infectious Disease

Clinic. I suggested that you might want to do some research on

Stachybotrys on the Internet or in Medical Books and Reports. You

failed to mention either of these facts or statements in your reports.

As you can surmise, we are quite upset with the Professional

and Medical failures you have displayed in your reports. You paint an

inaccurate and untrue picture of what actually happened. When you

and Dr. Krishna can't even get the correct date of our visit, you

leave us with a feeling of disbelieve in your Professionalism!

Yours Truly,
