Agree, but the risk is that you might contradict something you put in one forum (e.g., a blog) and later put in another forum (e.g., court). Consistency is what set Flea up for failure—we as physicians know exactly what he meant. The problem is how it is portrayed for the jury. If Flea did not settle the case, he would have had his character impeached with an inconsistent statement. Lethal? We will never know.

I don’t think an endorsement indicates that I accept uncritically the entire opus. I like lots of things, but that doesn’t mean I like or agree with all of them.

“[I]t was like watching an accident as it was happening.” That was my very first impression—along with, this will end very badly.

I agree, as an attorney, I can tell you the Flea’s case was fascinating. You are correct that the Flea has taken us to a new place in the law. He pushed the envelope. It was absolutely the wrong thing to do as a doctor defendant. As a spectator, it was like watching an accident as it was happening. The only thing more enticing might by an anonymous blog by a juror during a case. One can only hope. Here are more of my observations on the Flea and how the case was likely settled because of its facts as opposed to Flea’s blog. http://www.poppelawfirm.com/blog/index.cfm?id=721
