God help any poor unsusupecting families that go there! People should shout this from the rooftops, but, of course, most people won't understand or believe all this---until it's too late. Scary, scary.

Wow, that doctor should not be allowed to remain in this field. Why, after all that bad publicity, would Mass Gen hire her? Someone should be questioning them as well as the doctor.

Many will know to avoid BCH but not Mass General until it's too late!

Thanks for posting this LT. Parents need to know.

I hope all parents stay away from this "doctor"

Doctors who take their oath seriously do no harm.

Perhaps Dr. Alice Newton needs to be evaluated...

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. That seems to be this doctor's problem. She sees nails everywhere, even where they don't exist.

Were I to live in that area and have kids, I'd also want to know who her inner circle is - so as to avoid them, too.

She is likely not "working alone" she has many who have kept her where she is (her stature) and many who agree with her. That's the only way she's been able to "rule" - it's important to be able to identify her peers, too.

Who ever hired her for the new position seems suspect, too. That action speaks volumes, and danger for patients not just of her but of her "tribe" so to speak.

Mass General? That's the infamous home of none other than Bumsteere. He is in the process of developing a Lyme test for us now. Joy, joy.
