Awwwww. Thank you but I am better now. No mo dialysis. Yay!

Hell, he's allegedly in the insurance business. He couldn't get somebody else's bill? Guess he was afraid of going to prison.

The only chemo I know about without a port is the oral meds and you don't have to go to a clinic to have that administered. Are there other chemo treatments without a port?Full disclosure, I used to be on dialysis so I have had a port, a fistula and a picc line.

In that scenario, the doctor should simply say that the person must be mistaken and discuss whatever reservatol treatment he actually did do (if he so wishes) and leave it at that. As for the Dr. Feelgood scenario, simply say that you aren't a pill pusher and then contact your attorney. No need to divulge your patient list in either scenario. So Heather is mad that Vicki said that she hasn't been contacted by the HWs but Heather sent a text? That seems really petty. So Heather doesn't care about being supportive just that Vicki didn't say that she texted. I guess.

If those bills were real, I would have been SHOCKED. He's a con man. Hell no they weren't real. It's not like he went to ABC news. It was E!

Did Vicki say they weren't supportive ever? If not, I don't see how this is at all relevant. I'm pretty sure she was talking about this incident with Brooks' (non?) cancer and whether or not Brooks lied about it. If all Heather did was send a text message about it (especially after drilling her on camera about it relentlessly), I just don't see how Heather can get mad that Vicki doesn't see that as supportive. YMMV.

I don't see how that makes much of a difference. All that tells me is that the doctor isn't smart enough to evade someone's indirect questioning. Why wouldn't he just cut her off at the pass and say that he can't discuss/disclose anything?PS: In light of this HIPAA violating cellulite Doctor, I find it rich that Heather would even ASK a doctor this. ETA: I'd like to add that while I agree with most things above, Brooks wouldn't need to prove direct monetary damages such as loss wages. If you make someone a pariah based on known lies (which isn't the case here), you can get monetary damages.

If the doctor broke HIPAA laws, I'm inclined not to believe him with regards to whether or not Brooks was a patient as he has shown himself to be untrustworthy.PS: I thought I made this comment on the Vicki thread but looks like I didn't so I am going to reiterate here that I retract my statement about not caring how Vicki treated the others. Apparently, Vicki threw water on Shannon and that is plain out unacceptable. Period. She needs to give Shannon a SINCERE apology about that.

I didn't watch the clip but, she did that? I take back my statement about how I didn't have an issue on how she treated them. Vicki owes Shannon an apology - a SINCERE one.

Honestly, I don't have much of a problem with how she treated them. They came across as nasty and intrusive.Now back to my question to you. Did that Doctor violate (or was accused by Heather to violate) HIPAA laws? That puts a whole new spin on things. Why would she feel the need to draft a C&D letter if she had no problem asking the man directly if he treated Brooks? How did Vicki and Brooks know enough about her treatment to get her to draft one? Why exactly are we supposed to believe this doctor now in light of all this? Why is it OK for them to question, call clinics and harass V/B about his cancer if Heather is so upset about this doctor revealing her own medical (cosmetic) issues? Was Heather the real mastermind of "Operation Take Down Vicki" because of this invasion of privacy? The dead horse might be revived with this revelation. ETA: Zoeysmom, thanks for the answer. Now this makes things even more murky. So the cellulite doctor and the neighbor are two different doctors and snooping instances?

Waaaayment, are you saying that the cellulite Doctor violated HIPAA (happy now?) laws and then retracted what he said? You post isn't exactly clear what happened.

Unfortunately, people today in fact do this. Check out the website etiquettehell. Lots of discussion on that type of thing.

Oh noes! A doctor on camera who didn't actually schedule the scan covers his ass by saying "If this scan is real". It MUST be a lie. I don't think so. As I've said before, I think Brooks is lying, but that isn't "proof". Awwww, thank you! I didn't listen to the podcast. Listening to these women's excuses about their classless actions just isn't my cup of tea. I did get a laugh when zoeysmom stated that they wouldn't film with Vicki because she wasn't "authentic". Like whaaaa??? None of them are authentic and Vicki is the only one who is. Authentically crazy, yes, but authentic. I mean these folks dragged this woman for filth while claiming "concern". Puhleaze.

You know what though, this is kind of a prime example of what makes Vicki reality tv gold for me. You're being accused of something as heinous as lying about a cancer diagnosis and your main concern is that nobody sent you a casserole. I find that pretty hilarious and brings some levity to this long drawn out crap. I don't see any of the other women bringing anything like that to the table. Just bitching, fighting and pile ons woo hoo. I don't count Shannon's enema disaster because I think that was calculated by her to embarrass her cheating husband. Yay, passive aggressive tactics against your spouse for "payback". Not.

Well either way, Heather just sent a text message and got salty over someone saying that she (and the others) weren't supportive. I guess you will have to ask Heather since she is the one who sent the text message or ask Vicki in which circumstance she didn't feel supported. My point is that sending a text message while claiming your actions on camera are out of "concern" is the very least you could do so why be mad that somebody said that they didn't feel supported. It's not like Heather sent Vicki a casserole. If she did, THEN Heather can be mad.
