As a health care professional, I'd like to know how common misrepresentation like this is:

Well I agree with some of what you say-I find the defense of misconduct by people on Reddit interesting.. I wonder what propels people to post replies that either defend those who are described as having engaged in misconduct or that signal someone like me is doing something wrong (in light of the misconduct that I write about that suggests I was victimized). But that's ok. Ii'll reply anyway.

I am not slandering the program. I am describing what the conduct of staff involved with the program. Truth is the defense to slander and libel. I am telling the truth and have written and other forms of documentation that clearly show misconduct. You suggest lawyering up. To what end? What do you think "lawyering up" will accomplish? Are you suggesting a malpractice suit? if so, you obviously don't know a lot about the legal system. I'm not sure if your reply was intended to be helpful. If so, it is an unrealistic suggestion. Rochester is one of the most heavily endowed schools in the country. They have a cadre of lawyers at their beck and call. I do not. Yes, some lawyers work on a contingency basis but even those specializing in medical malpractice shy away from dental malpractice. But I am not just venting on reddit. I am alerting the public. But I am also reporting to more formal venues- accreditation, professional and funding agencies.
