He was one of the three medics who answered my plea for advice on P2P. That's "Patient to Physician" http://www.prostatepointers.org/p2p/ I'm surprised and disappointed that there is anyone in our community who has not at least heard of him. P2P's archives of solid advice from PCa specialists is nine years long. One can post one's prostate cancer digest (PCD) and receive free advice from specialists who ordinarily charge upwards of $300 per hour. That's what I did and it saved my life. Regards, Steve J “Prostate cancer is often described as a curable disease made incurable by late diagnosis." --David Wright, Advanced PCa patient East Comiston, Scotland Hello All-- I personally have a low opinion of any doctor who ingratiates himself into these public forums by any means (incl. groupies). Even worse is to advertise in them (I have seen dr. b promote his own "show' on yahoo ng.) Better to let someone else do it. I don't think it's a coincidence that a regular devotee of a certain group of doctors who fit into above category told a terminal patient recently, "You need to get a coach and I suggest Coach Barken." (That's what he calls himself.) And on it goes, day in day out. I think all doctors should stay away from NGs and MLs unless they post anonymously or they want to describe their experiences as a patient. It just muddies the waters. You, SJ, are entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine.

I didn't mean to suggest above poster had any motive other than inform the public. That's a good thing. Upon second glance I see that the promotion for dr barken's show contains a solicitation for funds. That turns me off, too. The yahoo group is basically a newsletter about certain docs. You just can't stop hearing about them. One of them, dr. myers, held a conference recently. After posting an adoring review one regular wrote: "I am suggesting that you all go out and patronize the following cos. which sponsored the conference." Then he listed about 15 names most of which were drug cos. Even if you want to oblige it's kind of hard -- are you supposed to get yourself on a certain drug or maybe send in a donation. Too much is too much. Leah > I didn't mean to suggest above poster had any motive other than inform > the public.

I'm on his e-mail list because my wife and I attended one of his monthly support group meetings. I could/should have editted that particular e-mail and removed the solicitation before posting it here. >> Hello All-- >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Too much is too much. Reading the above I'm glad we have our National Health Service, where such practices are impossible. Mary |
