Dear Roch, Having Re-Stated My Purpose In The Piedmont-Triad Blogosphere, Allow Me To Make A Few Suggestions To "Fact-Checkers" Really Interesed In The Truth

Friday night, prompted by mis-stated "facts" in this thread courtesy of We 101 Curator, Roch Smith, Jr., I re-stated my purpose in the blogosphere (for those few like him with incredibly-thick skulls - or exoskeltons as the case may be).

As I said in the thread, I'm still waiting to hear from our resident "fact-checker" if he supports perjury, contempt, fraud and the tax-payer-funded professional destruction of a good doctor's life in her hometown for doing her duty.

And if he does not support such things, and if he cannot be HELPFUL to her cause, then perhaps he needs to shut his damned mouth, and CEASE & DESIST WITH THE SNARKY/FALSE THROWAWAY COMMENTS, and let the good doctor wage the fight as she sees fit.

Mr. Smith-Jr. does tend to get on my last nerve.  (For anyone who objects to my occasional use of flowery verbiage in sparring with him . . . after you've been through TWELVE YEARS of the kind of medico-legal/jurisdictional/bureaucratic BS I have . . . and spent FIVE YEARS in the blogosphere being poked and prodded and insulted by the supposedly progressive & enlightened citizen journalists who populate it . . . come talk to me, and let me know how you've fared with your prose.)

I slept on the original retort, and decided to expound a little bit the following morning.  I've modified & amended the comment I left at Joe's slightly for "top-levelling" or "up-grading" or whatever-the-hell-Dr. Sue-calls-it here.

This is directed to Roch . . . whose "research" on my case consisted of spending a few hours on online newspaper accounts a few years back . . . not-to-mention teaming up with Sam Spagnola to taunt & ridicule (Spag, who, as a lawyer and "reform" candidate, seems quite content that this particular local doctor/ex-public servant fell through every gaping hole of oversight in his precious/corrupt legal system).

And before Spag shows ups to insist that he STILL doesn't understand why I am here: I came to the blogosphere, in part, in the hope that people would start talking about the hows and whys of what happened to me . . . and perhaps mobilize/organize to change it . . . for me and all of the other "little" people who have been run over by the big dawgs.

Roch, if you are really interested in the truth (and I've always known that in my case you were not - it has always and only been about discrediting a conservative voice that is a threat to you/Cone/your niche), I would suggest that you start by trotting down to the Randolph County courthouse and ask the Clerk-of-Court for ALL of the filings in BOTH cases [there were actually two - my original lawsuit against the practice (RMA) and Randolph Hospital's despicable SLAPP suit].

Things being the way they are, I'd actually be surprised if those files haven't been "misplaced" or lost by now.

You see, what's in them is kind of dicey for the hospital.

No problem. I have copies stored in safe place(s) - including original signatures on sworn documents packed with bold-faced lies.

And that's a good thing because (as even Spag can tell you), perjury has no statute of limitations in North Carolina.  That's because it subverts the cause of justice - even though Garland Yates & company clearly do not care. 

I ain't "right people".

And when you do trot down to the Courthouse, look at all of the SWORN answers that were filed in the interrogatories/discovery (SWORN meaning that someone would theoretically be held accountable) . . . particularly the letters sent by parents questioning my termination and pleading-to-deaf-ears for my reinstatement, and the recommendation letters from colleagues (most of them already online) . . . letters sent BEFORE I spent over a decade waging a very ugly/dirty fight for justice . . . and BEFORE, as arguably Randolph County's most prolific blogger, I took on other online projects - like opposing the annexation of Dave's Mountain and championing the local church folk who opposed the alcohol referendum - people like my own Mother who were getting run over by all of the well-funded "right people" - as if they were ancient Christians in a booze-soaked lion's den.

Translation: I've made some enemies.

Enemies just like a former "friend"-turned cyber-stalker, Jeff Martin (aka Fecund Stench) . . . who in his ire and pathology, was not above posting LIBEL online (and who may yet answer for it) . . . from people who just might have some fairly ugly ulterior motives. He did it in order to get his jollies (at my expense) and deflect attention away from the despicable things he said about and did to other bloggers . . . things that I still maintain were criminal . . . things that you & Cone said were no big deal.

The DA's office and a Randolph County judge threw me under the bus on that one (again). Big surprise.

The LIBEL Martin/Fec posted earlier this year (which you have publicly alluded on other occasions implied that I was some kind of terrorizing banshee at Randolph Medical Associates) included e-mails from anonymous contributors and was posted under password (most likely because Martin KNEW he had crossed all reasonable lines). . . moreover, these were allegations that were NEVER presented in discovery by the hospital - or vetted by ANYBODY prior to Maritn posting them at Via De Malchance as "the truth".

(Great journalistic technique.)

In FACT (if you care to check) the hospital presented peer review & personnel files that were basically EMPTY of ANYTHING that would have justified doing what they did to me.

And that's because what they did to me was all about shutting me up - about this. 

(Of course, despite the primary-care crisis, in our "right-to-work" state, the Bobber and his left-hand-man really didn't need a good reason.  The "dime-a-dozen" doctor "ain't special", and for all that she was a "valued employee" and a "partner" in Randolph Hospital's noble endeavors to "serve" the poor & under-served, she might as well have been cleaning the toilets at Asheboro Elastic.)

The things Eblin & Morrison did present were trumped-up and twisted (like a complaint from an uber-entitled "right person" dentist who wanted me to immediately drop what I was doing for a battered/homeless Mother/her children and tend to her needs over the phone - it was CLASSIC mill-town Asheboro).

In stark contrast, take a look at Dr. Mary's filings . . . not-to-mention the FALSE answers that Randolph Hospital filed in their own *&^%$#@! SLAPP-suit . . . and you might understand what the hospital did not want in an open Courtroom - in front of a jury or (horrors!) reporters . . . and why the hospital was so desperate to settle . . . albeit on a PACK OF LIES . . . something that you cannot seem to get through your THICKEST-OF-THICK skull.

Why don't you ask some of the right-honorable community leaders who served on Randolph Hospital's Board of Directors (whose names, just like the IRS returns & financial information that were withheld, are supposedly a matter of public record - public records being something you care so much about) why, in all of twelve years, NOT ONE of them has questioned what their executives did - intially or during/after litigation?  Why didn't ANY of them ask to hear from someone other than Bob Morrison and Steven Eblin about what happened one night at their hospital while they were all asleep? 

Why didn't a Pediatrician recruited home with state and Federal dollars merit ANY KIND of fair hearing or due process before the rug was pulled out from under her - before mincemeat was made of her life?

While you're at it Roch, you might want to give the North Carolina Medical Board a call and ask them WHY IN GOD'S NAME (in the twelve years since Dr. Mary first reported what Randolph Hospital did to their noble glass-house) haven't they legislated something . . . ANYTHING . . . to protect medical whistle-blowers?

Ditto for JCAHO (the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Hospital Organizations) and DHHS (the Department of Health and Human Services) - both organizations, as my Granddaddy used to say, that, in terms of oversight, are as useless as tits on a boar-hog.

And after that, maybe you could call the North Carolina Attorney General's office and ask them WHY IN GOD'S NAME hasn't Roy Cooper (or our new Queen-of-Ethics, Bev Perdue) done ANYTHING to give doctors/other public servants a way to by-pass pandering/disinterested/inbred District Attorney's and directly report corruption to his office?  Why doesn't the NC Attorney General have jurisdiction over non-profits when they break the law - in ANY venue?

Didn't the NCAG learn ANYTHING from the Nifong debacle?

In short, Roch, as a fact-checker, YOU'VE GOT NOTHING. But for five years, you've done everything you possibly could to tear me to pieces and humiliate me online - because you cannot get past blue and red.

At this point, Dr. Mary (a former public servant and practicing physician whose reputation is tied to her livelihood) is DONE, and you would be wise to take Jaycee's point about the legal consequences of what flows from your mouth and your keyboard to heart.

While I certainly know what it's like to be "the white farmer" pleading my case to disinterested bureaucrats, in this instance, you're Vilseck/the NAACAP/the White House and I'm Shirley Sherrod.

Except that I NEVER turned anyone away based on their color or background, and we're twelve years into this BS as opposed to just three days.

Now, dear readers, despite the attempts of stalwart truth-seeking bloggers like Mr. Smith-Jr. to convince you she's "batshit crazy" or "criminally-insane" (massive distortions of the truth - but our Roch is SO LOW he'll stoop to any gutterball tactic in order to discredit an opponent) for fighting for so long and so hard, Dr. Mary is, in fact, NOT delusional enough to believe that Mr. Smith-Jr. will actually dry the blue-tinted spittle dripping off his chin long enough to make the effort to check the facts covered in dust at the Asheboro Courthouse . . . facts that (as someone who wants you to think he has the chops for investigative journalism) Roch has never been interested enough before to pop down and look at . . . much less encourage a local or state newspaper/TV outlet to investigate . . .

. . . as Joe Guarino (a doctor himself) and others have done.

And that's mostly because the facts do not reflect well on the Big Blues whose every word Roch has fawned over the years on while claiming political "independence" . . . the Clintons, Hunt, Sleazely, Edwards, Cooper, Marshall, Perdue, and (of course) Obama.

Besides, in Roch's book, all doctors are "rich" and selfish and need to shut-up and fall in a neat socialized line behind the utterly-clueless Barack Obama.  And/so, the self-admitted child-of-a-borderline-Mother-with-sociopathicic-tendencies-who-goes-by-the-name-of-Fecund-Stench (and his new-found friends) are gonna be Roch Smith Jr.'s primary "source" for the truth . . . well, apart from reading archived news articles from the Greensboro News & Record (I'm wondering if Fiensilver himself wrote the articles - or if he was already gone - I cannot remember) . . . articles that reported a settlement but did not begin to tell the story. 

(As for Roch's notions about what Obama's brand of healthcare reform will accomplish . . . you really just have to love it.)

Of course, we all know how adept John Robinson & company are at investigative journalism. 

Even Roch himself admits it (albeit far too little . . . far too late).

But in Roch Smith, Jr.'s book (not to mention Greensboro's premiere journalist-blogger, Edward Cone-of-the-Moses-Cone-Healthcare-System-Cones - the Moses Cone Healthcare System being the then-employers of the Neonatology-wannabe I rescued that fateful night), the rules of fair play and due process . . . the notions of common decency and courtesy . . . and the letter-of-the-law . . . do not apply to Dr. Mary Johnson.

NO MATTER how "relevant" Dr. Mary's story may be to how this country wound up in the crapper, hope and change and especially reform are not for her.

So make no mistake, these suggestions are going to fall on deaf/disinterested ears.  But it's not going to stop our Roch from playing dirty - as he did at Joe's on Friday night.

I ask that you please remember that the next time Mr. Smith, Jr. lobs a dirty bomb in my direction.

And please understand that Roch's hypocrisy . . . as well the hypocrisy of some of his compatriots on the bluer end of the local blogging spectrum . . . is the primary reason their own arguments/rhetoric about anything will fall on deaf ears here.

For if these people really did care about what they say they care about - then this "homegirl" would not still be in their echo-chamber of a blogosphere trying to find the right "hook" or angle to get the public attention on her case that would get it where it should have been sent back in 2003 . . . or fielding the latest lamest-of-lame excuse as to why my happiness is less important than that of the patients I've served honorably, conscientiously and well since finishing my Pediatric residency in 1994.

It just doesn't fly.
