This has been an intriguing case to follow with all sorts of allegations going on from both sides. There is a website (
http://www.briangale.com/) devoted to one side of the argument. There was a lot of discusson on the negatively orientated
Podiatry Forum on the case in 2002-2003, mostly in support of Brian Gale. It was always difficult to find or get comments or information from the "
other side".
I thought the issue had died, but a recent
message posted at Podiatry Forum asked for an update on the Brian Gale situation, to which Richard Willner from the
Center for Peer Review Justice, Inc replied with this:
Quote:
.....Brian Gale is a private podiatrist who after beating the ND State Board of Podiatry is back in practice doing surgery and doing very, very well.
The ENTIRE Board of Podiatry was replaced. Including the lawyer. New Podiatrists were appointed and they are an ethical lot.
At least they don't abuse their power. Case closed.
Brian Gale is one man who stood up against literally every power in organized podiatry including the APMA. Anyone interested, especially the new students would learn much about podiatry that is not to be found in the books or shaddowing podiatrists.
That is, those who dig for the truth rather than listen to those with an obvious institutional bias.
Brian Gale stood before the State House and Senate and won. He beat the largest Administrative Law Firm in the State and all of the lawmakers in their pockets. He won because he stood for Justice.
Organized Podiatry, leaders in podiatry, the podiatry publications... no one important listened, cared, or acted for justice. Nobody. We were privy to all conversations, emails, letters, etc. Nobody lifted a finger to help.
Politics. Brian Gale was on the wrong side of Podiatry Podiatrics but on the right side of truth and justice. In Podiatry, Justice loses, politics wins...

From my reading and understanding of what went on, its good to see things resolved in Brian Gale's favour .... the cost to achieve that must have been huge...
Anyone got comments on this?
