The next session before the Connecticut Medical Examining Board will take place on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. at the Department of Public Health located at 410 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT., Hearing Room C. At that time, the Department will finish its examination of Dr. Zemel, its expert witness, and Attorney Pollack is scheduled to cross-examine him.
At the last session on May 9, we heard testimony from one of the fathers involved in the current set of charges against Dr. Jones. The other witness who was scheduled to testify was Dr. Harwin, the retired pediatrician who had served as the expert in pediatrics for the Department of Public Health (DPH) in the last case. He did not appear, however. We learned from Attorney Tilles, the prosecutor for the CT DPH, that Dr. Harwin will not testify at all in this case. Those of us who were able to attend this previous session were struck by some of the insightful questions asked by the hearing panel.
Dr. Jones extends a warm invitation to all who are interested to attend the next hearing session on June 10. For those of you who aren't able to make the trip, please know how very much he appreciates your support and good wishes from afar.
