    Donna, it's not about whether the Doctor is nice or not as
    a person, it about a code of medical ethics they must
    follow for George's "emotional" health is as equally
    important as "physical" health. Lederman should have known
    better. He simply did not get permission to discuss this
    and that's where he "goofed".  And in the course of his
    conversation with the press, giving out ones business
    phone number like that was the other mistake.  That
    probably even sunk him even further. If I were
    looking at it from the viewpoint of Olivia Harrison, I would
    be very upset that not only did the doctor not get
    permission to discuss the late Beatle's health, but
    also took advantage to promote one's own medical
    business at the same time. Lederman blew it and
    that's why he was fined $5,000.
