Dr. ********,
Words can hardly express how proud I am of you to finally stand up and speak out against this corruption. Please understand that when I referred to other docs in Cole's practice quitting at the same approximate time as myself and for the same ethical reasons, I did not get into any details between you and Cole. I would never violate your right of privacy nor the other Doctor who left Cole's practice. Obviously you know who that is, and you also know who the other former employees are that I have been am referring to.
Now for Dr. Cole. Your post is nothing but lies arising from desperation because you know EVERYTHING I SAID OR THAT DR. ******** SAID ARE TRUE!! You're scrambling just like your cheerleaders. Your desperate post of lies are going to be clarified by me with the truth.
Other former employees of yours have expressed the same identical concerns and it's on other forums as you well know. So either Dr. ********, myself, scores and scores of former employees who quit on you are lying OR IT'S YOU THAT'S LYING. Do you think people are stupid?
I am going to set the record straight since it's YOU who wants to take this to a whole new level. First off, you never fired me nor did anyone else. You also know that you provided me two outstanding written references which include "Steve is welcome back in our organization at any time". Anyone is welcome to come and read them for themselves to prove what I am stating here. I have the originals. In addition you have attempted "friendly" contact with me which I have never responded to you as you well know. In addition, if you never had a problem with me but go on to state that I have some sort of "temper" and directed it at staff is as much BULL as the rest of your post. "They endlessly called me on a daily basis COMPLAINING ABOUT YOU, BEGGING ME TO COME TO ATLANTA TO TRY AND TALK SOME SENSE INTO YOU. Some of these folks were "absolutely shaken and in in tears" because of your temperament. If you did not fire me than who did? Give me a break. BTW folks, please take note that the people on staff at that time all quit. There's not one of them left. Now is that not interesting? :freaked:
Let's talk about MHR. YOU were the one who recruited me to work for your new practice after you left MHR. I was never fired from MHR and you know that too! But you'll attempt anything, grasping for straws, to try and make me look bad. My supporting docs would NEVER associate themselves with me IF I had this bad temper or slickness as you refer to it. Desperation digging out of a hole comment on your part, nothing more.
I would like to mention another thing. IT WAS YOU who gave me the nickname of "Gillenator", not myself. And you said you came up with that because of the strong stand I took against corrupt hair transplant sugreons. You originall started calling me the terminator in the hair transplant industry which you later improvised to Gillenator. So now I am a bad guy? Here's something you'll never get. Character develops from the inside out, it can't be bought with money or a fancy website. People with good morale character usually retain that throughout their life because it is based on strong moral values and beliefs, something not easily compromised.
That being said, people WITHOUT good morale charcacter rarely change for the better.
Since you are in a defensive position, you resort to trying to make me look like some bad guy, a hair transplant salesman, the same identical blah your cheerleaders are saying. You guys can't come up with anything original. But again pull up my posts on any forum and you'll see that I'm there to help others. An extremely high percent of the threads I participate on do not involve referring anyone to a doctor! WHY? Because my stated motives are true, desiring to help others work through the same dilemma of hairloss that I had. My post prove that over and over. And you can't name ONE post or thread on any forum where I have promoted or referred anyone to any of my supporting docs, NOT ONE and you know it. Not that I ever would, but why would I need to do that? They don't have the controversial reputation that you do. They consistently enjoy endless past patient referrals and don't need to propogate every website with undercover posters and high buck advertising. And why is it that you are always scrambling for new patients. Are you not getting patient referrals like the other docs do? Read between the lines folks.
As I stated to your cheerleaders, when you insist that I am some type of slick hair transplant salesman, you indrectly insult those doctors as well. AND THEY ARE OF THE HIGHEST INTEGRITY, something you'll never have in my opinion. Anyone can come and audit my books or taxes at any time. You'll also see that I NEVER handle any patient money, don't enroll anyone for surgery, none of that. To imply something else is a second indirect insult on my ethical supporting docs and you know that too.
I have a second letter from you asking me to come to Atlanta and then I would not have to quit and leave. But you know darn well things had gotten so bad that none of us would ever have anything to do with you again, including a few docs that quit on you.
There's countless and I mean countless other incidents I could go into including the phone call I received from "your wife" one November Sunday morning in 2003 on my way out the door with my wife to church. My wife was a direct witness to this conversation, and that was the final straw with you. My wife and I even had you over to our home as our dinner guest several weeks after that incident. I did everything I could, even outside the circle of our working relatioship to try and talk some moral sense into you but like I said earlier, character rarely changes so both my wife and I concluded that I was talking to a brick wall.
Does my wife need to post what that conversation was about? You know she absolutely detests this kind of thing. Does she need to come on this forum and inform everyone of the endless daily calls I received from the turmoiled Atlanta staff, INCLUDING SOME OF THE SURGERY STAFF? You think that's libel when she was a direct witness to it? What you did not know was that I had the speaker phone on the entire time.
You know John, I had stated in a prior post in this thread that I would be the FIRST ONE to stand up and applaud you IF your controversial reputation had a VERIFIED change for the better and you're staff whether office or surgical ceased to turn over like a revolving door. That's also something easily verified. That's an indication of good character on my part. I trulynwould like to feel that I can trust you , but I cannot and you jsut proved that further to me and anyone else who read your post on this thread. Especially the comments you made about Balloonman.
And Balloonman, don't take the demeaning disrespectful comments Cole said to you to heart. It just proves what he is really about and he hung himself with his own words as usual. Again an act of desperation on his part just like he's attempting to do with me. Nothing could be more obvious. Yet he took his oath when he received his MD to vow to practice in the best patients' best interest, and then he talks to you like that? My wife read it and ran to the bathroom tryiong to keep herself from vomitting.
You have come a long way brother, and I again commend you as I did with Dr. ******** for taking a moral stand. It's a good thing to have guys like you in this forum because I vouch for what you stated in your extensive history of helping others. I have read your posts over the years and you are a veteran and have seen you extend your help and compassion to others. No one and I mean NO ONE can take that away from you or me. At least we can sleep with a clear conscience! :wink:
