For some of us who were Dr. David Rhodes' patients, it is truly sad to read about his admitted involvement in drug deals. It is hard to understand that someone trained to heal should choose instead to do harm.

Surely, I am not alone in hoping that David Rhodes will devote his time, wherever he may spend it, to the true process of healing. May the intellect that helped him achieve his medical degree enlighten his spirit to surmount the temptation that led him astray.
