Thank you for your comment.
As ...Dear Anonymous -<br /><br />Thank you for your comment.<br /><br />As you say, many of Dr. Kwetkowski's patients wrote about him in the same way you do - that they'd found him to be "a truly spectacular doctor." You're right that no human is "immune to mistakes." But I think it was appropriate that as a physician his conduct was "put out for all to scrutinize." Society gives us physicians distinctive rights and privileges, and expects us to conduct ourselves in reliably ethical manner. <br /><br />Dr. Kwetkowski failed to do that. The RI Board appears to have acted in a thoughtful and responsible manner. I hope that he will conduct himself in the "spectacular" way you've experienced for the rest of his career. <br /><br />Just we as fallible humans are susceptible to serious lapses, as creatures capable of remorse and reform, we're "susceptible" to what William James called the "twice born" state.<br /><br />I invite you to write a follow up comment in a year or two as to your observations.<br /><br />Best<br /><br />JimJim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-553348878770509982012-08-08T09:15:29.969-04:002012-08-08T09:15:29.969-04:00The RI Boards decision was indeed a just one. The ...The RI Boards decision was indeed a just one. The man made a terrible error in judgment, yet the fact remains the same ..he is a truly spectacular doctor. We, his patients, all were 100% behind him through this. He is not immune to mistakes and to think that just because of his profession he was put out for all to scrutinize!! I have read you're other blight and see the many supportive comments and the few comments that aren't quite so favorable, especially one depicting him as a man who preys on vulnerable women. How absolutely absurd!!! I understand that loss makes us humans behave in curious ways, but that information is simply untrue and should not have been posted. I admire the mother for her somewhat neutral stance, she wouldn't really say something horrible or something great. But I'd appreciate it, as would many of his fellow patients, if she'd at least 1. Not comment or 2. Not allow others to depict him as a deviant pedofile. As a mother, anger is most certainly warranted. But to allow such a lie go unanswered with the truth is horrid. I mean honestly, clearly the disciplinary action board has no reason to believe he is, we all all know there's no way possible he could be, so lets get real here. If you don't want to be judged, stop giving us all reason to judge you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
