I don't think you understand. Dr. Rea is too busy, famous and a

big cheese to be spending time responding to E-mail of hundreds of us a day!

He probably can't speak to people before they come to the clinic either. If

he did all of that he wouldn't be able to spend time seeing all the zillions

of patients per day! He does very modestly priced phone consults for all of

his patients at 35.00 (it used to be 25) per 15 minute call. That is how we

all communicate with him for follow up. If you were there as a patient then

you are allowed to schedule a call with Carolyn Gorman for free as well --

she is very helpful. I was his patient and hope to go work under him

(study) next month. It is like E-mailing your heart surgeon with little

concerns after surgery. They wouldn't answer you either unless they invited

you to communicate that way. I can't even get an idiot doctor on the little

island of Martha's Vineyard to call or respond to an E--mail -- talk about

pompous!

Every minute of his day is booked with patients. He doesn't even

know what's happening on the TV shows (esp. 'House') vis a vis Environmental

Medicine cause I am sure he doesn't watch much at all! As physicians we

respect him, as patients you guys should as well. Would anybody of his

caliber in another field like your Senator or governor answer your E-mail?

Just call and schedule a call and you can talk to him like everyone else and

life will be good! It is like this with all leaders in Medicine they aren't

that available because they are already overwhelmed with day to day patient

care and conferences, books, publications, research, meetings.

I just want you to put it all in perspective and appreciate what he

does do. I am amazed at all the complaints of previous patients that I

hear. They are often out in left field and have unrealistic expectations of

Dr. Rea. He is just one guy who has EI and had Polio as well.

,

I understand my situation very well......I don't think you understand!

The day that I saw Dr.Rea, there were a total of three other people in the

waiting room and only myself and one other were seeing Dr.Rea.( so much for the

zillions a day) He stated that I was one of the worse cases of biotoxin

poisoning that he has seen. He does not take insurance and I do not have the

luxury of money like some people. I worked in the Law Enforcement field for 32

years protecting shoppers like you from being a crime victim. I used all my

savings to give to my family and to doctors.

I was extremely nice to Dr.Rea during the visit. After the visit I was given a

sheet for all the test needed and his hand writing for all the cost of these

test.

I don't really care if Dr.Rea watches TV or not...that is his choice! I wish I

did not have to be bedridden and watch it myself. I don't have a horse to jump

on and don't think I could even jump on a turtles back right now.I am glad you

are better and are doing all the things you like to do....I wish I could.

As far as EHCD e-mailing me, they did. They suggested that I get Medicaid and

get help elsewhere. I also need to tell you, that I did e-mail my Congressman

and he e-mailed me back. Not only did he just e-mail me, he listened and is

doing a Congressional Inquiry for me. So important people do e-mail other human

beings back.....I am important also.

I just wanted to put THIS all into perspective for you and appreciate what I

do. I will be helping a lot of people that have been affected by mold and will

fight this as long as it takes.

So, you go shopping and to dinner parties and I will be happy just to fight

for my rights and others rights. Your rights too!!

Sincerely,

Marcie
