her husband had delirately deceived, humiliated and abandoned her, michelle ntinued to defend him. he was an excellent doctor. that s why it really infuriated me to see his name dragged through the mud. the real culprits, michelle felt, were former patients egged on by greedy lawyers who were suing him for malpractice. i think it s a big opportunistic, but that s the state of our legal system in this country. that s what doctors have to face every day. how can you stand up for him now? because i know how much he cared about his patients. in the end, i think that he was a very scared man. had it actually been one of those patients who caused mark weinberger to flee, forfeiting all he worked for? michelle was sure of it. she had often heard mark mention a former patient in the weeks and months before he left. a woman with terminal cancer.
