A sample of some of the wonderful letters I’ve received this week. Many thanks to all of you who have offered me continuous support, encouragement and understanding.

Dr Klein,

I can only imagine you are getting bombarded.

Just add me to the positive pile that appreciated your candor, compassion, and clarity.

I’ve not been able to stomach watching much of the “carnival”, thanks for bringing your sensibilities to the dialogue.

Dr. Klein,

I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude today, to you, for your interview on Larry King. You were informative, truthful, and genuinely heart felt for your deep admiration for your patient and friend, Michael Jackson. Thank you for your kind words and allowing Michael to be humanized to the public once again. It’s people like you who will continue to keep his legacy alive and strong, in the most positive manner.

Dear Dr. Klein,

I just heard your interview with Larry King. I want to thank you for clarifying and defining Michael’s medical challenges. I carefully questioned the networks (CNN) report and description and found it to be repulsive, jaded and racist. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever heard news reporters describe the color of someone’s skin, after all, my mother is Caucasian; when she died, she was a little paler than in life, aren’t we all.

So thank you Dr., I appreciate being educated and able to decipher the truth amongst the muck!!!

Dear Dr. Klein,

Thank you for sharing your story last night on Larry King. You came across as honest and caring. It was comforting to hear your side of the story. So many people tried to make a freak out of him, saying he was bleaching his skin when in fact he had a condition. I’ve seen people with this disease and it’s not pretty, everyone stares. I’ve been a fan of Michael’s since the Jackson 5 days and I can’t believe he’s gone. Thank you for coming forward and sharing your relationship with Michael. Good luck and may God’s peace be with you.

Dr. Klein,

I hope that this letter reaches you. I saw your interview on Larry King (July 08, 2009) and with true sincerity wanted to communicate my thoughts to you.

I am extremely impressed with the manner in which you handled the questions relative to Michael Jackson, his children, your involvement with his medical care and undeniable loyalty to his well-being.

Without question your loyalty and dedication to care extends to that of all of your patients (not only to Michael or other VIPs).

In addition, if I may, I would like to applaud your unfiltered thoughts and fight to contain/eliminate unsafe practices related to plastic surgery. I have never had any plastic surgery; however, I was extremely moved by your sincerity and passion to communicate these dangers to the audience.

Even though I originally decided to watch the Larry King show to obtain updates relative to Michael Jackson’s death I found myself intrigued by your push to re-direct the dialogue toward unsafe medical practice awareness (with no disrespect to Michael Jackson). Like most of the population I did not know Michael Jackson. I do feel that we lost one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Like you, I also feel like his children deserve the best and my heart goes out to them.

I don’t normally write to people I don’t know. I hope, for whatever it is worth, my thoughts and feelings are well received. I think you did a marvelous job during the interview and have a striking level of integrity and sincerity. I simply wanted you to know that.

Dr Klein,

I just want to thank you for the information you shared on unsafe practices, procedures, and pharmacology during your interview with Larry King. I also want to commend you for your regard of the physical, emotional, and spiritual welfare of the Jackson children and the concern, devotion, and respect you demonstrated regarding them. May HaShem grant you a refuah sh’leimah of body, mind, and soul. B’esrat HaShem, knowing you are there for them, Mr. Jackson can rest in peace.

Dear Dr. Klein,

I have watched your interview with Larry King and think you are a brilliant, honest man, whose obvious integrity and care for your patients and friends speak volumes about your character.

It is my sincere hope that YOU prove to be the genetic Father of these beautiful, brilliant children, and that they have the privilege of your presence fully in their lives.

God’s richest blessings on a Good Man.

You have touched me, Dr. Klein.

Dear Dr Klein,

I just want to say that you are a very special and sincere human being. God bless you for all the good things you have done in your life for others. If you were here in front of me I would give you a great big hug. Thank You for your goodness.

Dearest Dr. Klein,

I just viewed portions of your interview with Larry King.

Thank you so much for giving such a caring, sensible and reasonable explanation on so many questions about Michael Jackson. I don’t know that many will take the time to hear your voice, and I do wish they would, but such is the sad way of our society these days. That so many allow themselves to be “informed” by headlines is something I just can’t figure out.

Outside of sharing my appreciation for that, I wanted to contact you about the work you are doing on changing how the FDA works and getting rid of many very harmful drugs. Your statement of how you feel pharmaceutical companies run the FDA was shocking to me. Shocking in the way that I couldn’t believe that someone as highly respected as yourself would actually verbalize this truth on national television.

Dear Dr. Klein,

Just saw your interview on LKL — wished it could have been another hour! Great hearing from you on these key issues affecting patients…great to have this “straight talk” on the role of FDA, current state of medical journals, doctors…need more of this. And of course, wonderful to hear your perspective on Michael’s family and kids. Your comment, “this is different, they’re following me for a change” was hilarious! We had a good chuckle there…you’ve got great perspective on all this. Keep up good work!

Dr. Klein,

Thank you for appearing on Larry King tonight and speaking so warmly and kindly about Michael Jackson. It was so good to hear someone talk about Jackson’s goodness and love for all those he came in contact with. I am sick of all those who are trying to benefit from their association with him. I just hope that his children are left alone and that they have the normal upbringing that Michael Jackson never had and appears to have wanted so much for his children.

Again, thank you for talking about the humanity and kindness of Michael Jackson.
