Clearly, you are simply an ignorant journalist who hasn't done all her research. You don't know the ins and outs of this case, nor have you taken the time to think about how your words affect "real people". think of dr. hechtman's family who have seen this article- this article fraught with lies.

You bash the Doctors name with no knowledge of all the good he has done. I have first hand experience. My son was a patient of his, and he took exceptionally good care of him. I was very confidant in the care my son would receive. In Dr. Hechtman's defense, he is a doctor, Not God. Unfortunately, in medicine there is so much that is out of a doctors control. Again, without evidence; no judgement should be passed. It would be extremely unjust for anyone to pass judgement, without any evidence.

Please adivse me as to why you would have to adjust your expectations. You certainly aren't implying that its better to have a doctor in your 30's. Please clarify for us "dumb" 33 year old physicians.

Please read this post again -- it says if a doctor is younger you might need to make an adjustment. Regarding the salsa... hmmmm.....

Its nice to see that you are proposing age discrimination. I would think that a physician who is in their 30's would be much more up-to-date on the latest procedures/meds/therapies. Nice to know you are out there advocating for patients and scaring them without any evidence. You want some salsa for that chip on your shoulder? Trisha,
