Having managed and owned several treatment/rehab centers, i don't believe you have the believability to dispute my facts not my opinions. I know what i'm talking about. You act like you do. As for my anger, i'm only angry at those psychopaths who are crude and heartless enough to make up lies about a man whose death is still under investigation. All who knew Dan personally, loved and respected him. And please, don't try to lecture me about how insurance works and what they pay for. I'm in the treatment business. I KNOW how it works. I'm trying to find an inpatient center for a client as we speak. She has great insurance. Her primary diagnosis is substance abuse. No one will accept her unless she has underlying psych diagnosis. If you're so smart, let me get a release signed and YOU find a place for her. But I don't think "Anonymous" is a legal term to use on a release of records, do you? Your poor understanding of human motivation is appalling. You say MY assumption that if someone puts up $50,000 for treatment, that doesn't prove he's motivated is laughable. Seriously laughable. You refer to that belief as "awkward and absurd." Check your dictionary to see the definition of those two words and then get back to me about what you intended to say, since you statement made no sense to anybody.

You do not know what was in his mind any more than anyone else. The assumption is that someone is willing to pay a lot of money for an outcome, so thus, by definition, they must WANT the outcome, is a totally valid point. Again, YOUR assumption is awkward and absurd. <br /><br />Why such an "angry man?" ????? Perhaps he knows the Truth. The Truth in this matter will make all sane and sensible people angry. <br /><br />He lists his credentials because his authority was questioned. Please note that until then, no credentials were mentioned nor listed. <br /><br />I, personally, question YOUR interest in this and your credentials for your statements.

Surely you know that rehab centers won't even give you a handshake before they are on the phone verifying the limits of your coverage. Then they note your 'graduation date' at a point in the future to coincide exactly with the expiration of your coverage. Miraculously, the patient receives a diploma commensurate almost exactly on the 'limit of coverage' date. <br /><br />The good judge did not have to put up the farm and ridin' cultivator as collateral for his mandated rehab. Your off-hand assumption that since rehab costs so much he must have been serious about it is awkward, if not absurd. <br /><br />Your appeal to authority (by listing your credentials) falls flat as support for your several statements in your posts. <br /><br />I'm sure more than a few of us are wondering why you're such an angry man (as evidenced in your posts).

You asked "why should we believe you?" Great question, Anonymous. Because I am willing to stand up and state my case with my name, whereas you have still failed to provide 'evidence' that your lie wasn't a lie. Prove me wrong, Anonymous. go ahead. Show us evidence.<br />Second, which "rehab" have you been involved with? If you are so closely connected to the 'rehab industry" since 1988, why are you making fun of people who have to go there? You sound like a real asset to the recovery and/or mental health community. Having been clinical director of Jackson Recovery Center, head of the dual diagnosis unit at both Charter Hospital and Brentwood, past director of a half way house for women called New Life, worked with first and second offenders from Jackson City courts, and currently a partner in three "rehab" programs, I'll use my credentials to verify that I know what i'm saying. You don't even seem to know the current role of what you are referring to as 'rehab centers.'With the possible exception of the skid row type facilities, most modern centers specialize in dual-diagnosis patients. They have discovered in the past 30 years that depression needs to be treated before sobriety is possible. In the 1970s and 1980's the AA community taught that sobriety would naturally lead to good mental health, even for bi-polar or chronically depressed patients. I noticed that you didn't dispute my argument about insurance companies paying big bucks. Try to get admitted with just a BCBS card and see how far you get. When i stated that his out-of-pocket costs proved his commitment, you instead chose to change the subject to 'mind reading.' Seriously, you have repeatedly told what you thought was in his mind but now flip-flopped. And finally, the one argument that you might be willing to gain some traction and you chose a character attack and another change of subject. Interesting. My thoughts are not opinion or conjecture. Judicial Reviews are not prompted by angry defendants. There is one person IN EVERY JUDICIAL CASE that leaves angry. News paper stories by Kate Royals don't prompt Judicial Reviews, either. As for the answer to your disbarment question, there are hundreds who have been disbarred. were you expecting them to notify you? That information is relatively easy to find, by the way.

Why is it that you think people drink ?? The vast majority are depressed. It is a form of self-medication. If you've been "sending people to rehab since 1988," you should know this. If you don't know this ..... I pray that you will wake up and realize the cause of most addictions. You will be able to help a lot more people if you understand the cause.<br />(3) Exactly. <br />"No one can read his mind." <br />Not even you. <br />It would seem that someone willing to pay thousands of dollars is committed to overcoming whatever their problem was. For whatever reason. <br />(4) "Now you're straying into pure opinion and conjecture and that last sentence is pure lunacy, delusion, or maybe the result of smoking "spice."<br /><br />Is that your OPINION or PURE CONJECTURE ?? <br />As someone who has firsthand knowledge of judicial review, I can tell you that state's DO do a good job of policing their own. The Bar does not deal with innuendos and frivolous complaints brought about by dissatisfied defendants or plaintiffs.There has to be a body of evidence before they consider disbarment. Obviously, there was no body of evidence against Judge Fairly. <br /><br />I notice you are "Anonymous." Why ??? You seem to be very acquainted with Judge Fairly.

Depression may be treated in an inpatient psychiatric facility, but alcohol far outweighs depression when someone is sent to "rehab".<br /><br /> "Rehabs generally DON'T get paid big bucks by insurance companies. Most take payment out-of-pocket upfront - some as high as $25,000/month. If Judge Fairly paid for 2 months, he was VERY interested in getting well."<br /><br />Or he was wealthy man willing to pay whatever he was ordered in order to not lose his job. No one can read his mind to assess how committed he was to his own recovery.<br /><br /><br /> "Third, Judicial Review is not brought about after one or two newspaper stories, regardless of how poorly they were written, nor by one case, no matter how narcissistic the defendant. Fourth, the legal profession takes great pains to police their members and they do an excellent job."<br /><br />Now you're straying into pure opinion and conjecture, and that last sentence is sheer lunacy, delusion, or maybe the result of smoking "spice".

Now...whether that air was a strong gust or a gentle breeze depended a lot on the circumstances. My experience was all the latter. He was a good public servant and a better man.

From the very first time I entered his court room, he always treated the parties and counsel with respect and dignity, unless they deserved to be treated differently as a result of their own actions. In other words, if he, as the trier of fact, deemed that someone was lying, manipulating, or taking advantage of or abusing others, he would call their hand on it. At no time did I ever witness Judge Fairly even imply that he was "God", and instead, he distributed justice in a fair, albeit stern, and even handed manner. I agree with Derek Hall and other attorneys who have indicated that he was one of our better Chancery Court judges and I too never witnessed or even suspected that he was impaired in any manner in his court room. Judge Dan Fairly will be missed in our legal community and for those who seem insistent on spewing venom and muddying Judge Fairly's name, just remember there will be another judgment day.

On the other hand, if the Commission "owes us some answers" as you contend, and violates Judge Fairly's medical privilege, what kind of signal does that send to other lawyers, judges, doctors, engineers, legislators, governors, nurses, pilots, train engineers, boat captains, priests & ministers, school teachers & administrators, etc.--all of whom are individuals who serve in positions of trust--who need and want to receive help?
