So it appears the doctor - if he is a real doctor - not only allows his treatment of his patients to be skewed by his own personal views, but he seems have difficulty telling the truth when confronted with quotes that he himself uttered, and ones which I'm assured that Ashlea has on a taped interview.

Sorry to rant and rave LOL, I just hate it when someone assumes I'm a chump. And not sure if there's anything further to do. Of course, I could write back to the doctor himself and ask him to grow a spine and stop lying. But then I have to wonder ... what purpose would this serve?

What purpose? Perhaps spinal growth? Encouragement of truth... Removal of second faces (maybe HE needs a plastic surgeon)... We could go on, but....

Fraj-

Thanks so much for taking the time to share all of this with us. You're a treasure!

. . . Sorry to rant and rave . . . I don't understand why you use the words "rant and rave" to describe your posts. I find them calm, objective, and well-reasoned.

. . . what purpose would this serve?Well, it might make you feel a bit better. You have caught the man in a lie, and now it appears that he's lying about having lied, so calling attention to his actions does tend to satisfy one's sense of justice. The only downside I see is like that of feeding a troll: it can provoke further misconduct.

Incidentally, some people would consider the doctor's behavior "denial", a common reaction of people who suddenly discover that they have done something embarrassing. Multiple instances of this sort of behavior seem to occur in nearly every trial.
