ADDENDUM: New Reply to Jane Larkworthy’s blog post on W Magazine Site
July 5, 2009
Jane, I must tell you that as a fellow journalist, I am offended & ashamed of your post regarding Dr. Arnold Klein. As journalists, we have the responsibility of being fair, unbiased, & certainly in your case, acting in the best interest of your readers. Your post is nothing more than a disrespectful attempt at sarcasm, not to mention, very self-indulgent. How can anyone criticize a physician who spends virtually every single day watching out for not just his own patients, but the entire population? Have you bothered to ask yourself what Dr. Klein gains by exposing dangerous fillers & the physicians who inject them into trusting patients? Jane, he has absolutely nothing to gain, he bravely speaks the truth. (a rarity these days) For better or worse, most doctors will go to ridiculous extremes to “protect” other docs…even at the expense of trusting patients. That is not the case with Dr.Klein. His actions display the type of physician he is, but more importantly, the kind of man he is. I won’t list all of Dr. Klein’s accolades & accomplishments, that was very well done by the poster, “MargaretP,” however, shame on YOU for not bothering to mention any of Dr. Klein’s contributions to this world. The only “contribution”you deem worth mentioning is whether or not he fathered his dear friend, Michael Jackson’s children? Seriously? That’s the best you can do? This man devotes the majority of his life & work to bettering humanity, & you chose to stoop to tabloid levels? You also show your disrespect & lack of ethics in mentioning Dr. Klein’s ancient lawsuit with Irena Medavoy. Journalism 101…you must present the facts & both sides of the story. Jane, Dr. Klein WON that completely flagrant lawsuit. How dare you not mention that part? Finally, instead of making light of the fact that Dr. Klein takes the time out of his very busy schedule to phone you, & implore you to warn the public of dangers, why not commend him for caring so passionately? This world would be a much better place if everyone acted with the same passion, heart, & integrity as Dr. Arnold Klein.
