Oh man, how do I even start. Flea was on my RSS feed for years, and I really did enjoy what he posted.
In his blog, Flea had ridiculed the plaintiff’s case and the plaintiff’s lawyer. He had revealed the defense strategy. He had accused members of the jury of dozing.

But read this whole article and then come back and find out if you are as shocked as I am as to what he was charged with:
The wrongful death suit alleged that Lindeman, who works at Natick Pediatrics, failed to diagnose that Jaymes Binns had diabetes on March 11, 2002, Mulvey said in a court document. Less than six weeks later, the boy died of diabetic ketoacidosis, said Mulvey, who described the condition as “diabetes gone haywire.”
I really liked what Flea had to say about the vaccine controversy and what he had to say about over treating patients.
But to think that somehow he was involved in a young child dying of diabetes in this day and age … man it so blows me away.
I can’t understand how such a diagnosis could be missed. Of course, we probably won’t know the whole story.
