European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 6, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday february 1986 the stars and stripes Arm Landers dear Ann Landers yet another Ioctl Erin your column de fending you please pre sent for once the victim s Side physicians should be held accountable. Under the Law the same As other professionals who take responsibility for lives. � most malpractice -a1 ,. Suits drag on for years. Meanwhile the Doc Tor is still out there doing the same things toothed patients. The medical profession wrongly blames the victim for the High Cost of malpractice insurance. For years doctors have claimed the ability to police themselves but in reality they Are unwilling to do so. Their refusal to blow the whistle on one of their own has not protected the brotherhood but tarnished it. It is ludicrous to mention the devastating effects on the family when a physician is sued for malpractice. His pals in the profession and the insurance companies protect him from financial hardship. One of the major problems is finding a physician who is willing to testify against a colleague also if the victim is dead he cannot speak for himself. Added to these advantages the jury often views the doctor As some sort of god. And even if the patient wins the Case All the Money in the world cannot compensate him if he is confined to a wheelchair for life. It is about time some mention is made of what happens to victims and their families who Are at the mercy of careless inept and impaired physicians. Of course there Are Good doctors out there and they Are appreciated. But it seems to me that competent caring conscientious ones should do every thing possible to rid the profession of the ignoramuses and the drug and alcohol abates who Are maiming and killing patients every Day. I Hope the medical profession has t got you so neatly in its Back pocket that you will toss this letter away. I m betting 7 to 3 against seeing it in print. Fed up on phony croakers dear fed Yob lose. Here s your letter and it s darned Good one. I Hope every physician who recognizes us or herself will remember the oath to do no harm and Clew up his act. To protect a guilty colleague is to promote criminal behaviour and that makes the colleague a criminal too. I m for throwing the Book at pm. Dear Ann Landers Here is another crazy problem that has people at my place of employment argue. My. Please Settle it for All of us. It is run Ning into overtime. Is it humanly possible for a woman to have 69 single births in her lifetime half the office says. an equal number says no Are All awaiting the final word from you Annie. Don t let us Down.

Law woman who a Lafonn do Law Marrable feat was a russian peasant who Ted Iso Miles of mc0w. She not. However have 69 single births. Be Force reminder All letter to the editor must contain idlers Are subject to editing. As a Parent a very involved individual in the school and a concerned citizen i find the situation at the Stuttgart american High school shocking deplorable and thoroughly unacceptable. I somehow assumed the local Community commander was thereto support the schools and its students not degrade and demoralize them. By an Odd coincidence at the beginning of the school year i happened to hear the ludwigs Borg Korn Westheim Community commander address the student body. He implied they were not to rape and murder in the Halls they were not to attack each other and that their usual Hooligan behaviour was unacceptable. And his solution to All these problems was the football Camp the Universal Panacea for adolescent ills. After some questioning i Learned that the students did not Rob rape or murder in the Halls. Furthermore the Pattonville Hooli Gans earned a Quarter of a million dollars in scholarships hosted the european Model Senate presented major theatrical productions took held trips to Spain France and London hosted the future business Lead ers of America european conference Etc. I later Learned the football team won Only one game. So much for that Panacea. The Factor that precipitated this letter seven worse than the above insults hurled at our children the students of Stuttgart american High school. I wandered into the school cafeteria one Day and was appalled. The Tacky plastic plaques dirty cloth Flowers and the Hodge podge pc Wii paint Job were shocking enough. But on top of that our 250 children were squashed into a 20-by-50-foot area seated Back to Back while workers were Jack hammering Wheeling in bricks mixing mortar drinking Beer smoking and cutting its Dingy Little cafeteria into an area half its size. What is going on at Stuttgart High school How does the school administration let this happen How did the Community commander permit it Aren t the army schools Here to educate not berate and insult children name withheld Stuttgart editor s note col. James a. Valezy commander Lud Wogsberg Kont Wes Theun military Community replies i appreciate your concern and involve nent with the Stuttgart american High school i too am concerned and involved As a Parent As the commander of a troop unit that sponsors one of the major Lud Wissburg Korn Welhelm service organizations and As the Community commander. I am certainly i agreement with the writer on the Many positive accomplishments of our students. In addition tothe achievements noted the Stutt Gam mullions were the champions of the brain bowl involving 26 Dodds schools in Europe and were the Cross country champions in Usa eur. As with any Large Community. And we have close to 1,500 families. There May be a few individuals whose actions Are discreditable and require attention an corrective action. When i addressed the students on a variety of issues at the beginning of the school year i did include the subject of conduct. I am the civilian misconduct action authority and unfortunately do see Young people and their parents when there Are incidents. Last year a few students were involved in serious misconduct which resulted among other actions. In the Early return to the . Of six families while the sponsor remained Here for duly. Because of this i did address my con Cerns to the High school student body and at one of our regular town Hall did say that Hooligan behaviour was unacceptable and would be dealt with sternly. I did not intend to insult the Man outstanding children in our Community and believe that most students and parents took my remarks in context and totally agreed. We All want a Safe and secure environment for our children. As you know to have an outstanding Community requires More than discipline. There needs to be a comprehensive set of plans programs and policies to strength Nall Levels of activity. Concern caring and serious involvement Are the key. I believe we have All of these in our Community. We did have a football clinic and also had a Cross country clinic and a clinic for girls volleyball. I would have liked to have had More. The main purpose of these clinics was to condition and train children on How to take care of themselves to preclude stress injuries and other preventable dam age to Young bodies. The results in terms of reduced injuries have been outstanding. Sports Are neither a Panacea nor an end in themselves but Are a worthwhile part of the school environment. The athletic pro Grams at Stuttgart american High school Are possible Only through the ded Caton of coaches students and Many example Many Long hours were spent last fall preparing an alternate football Field so our students would have a decent playing surface and so there would be bleachers and a scoreboard while a new Field was under construction. There is no Dodds cafeteria for the Stuttgart american High school. I wish then was. The facility being used for school lunches is an cafes pizza parlor which backs into an cafes shop Pette. The decision bad been made to expand the shop Pette based on the Large number of families it serves. To enlarge the shop Nestle meant a sin Guiar reduction in space for the facility that serves As the school cafeteria.
