RABBLE ROUSIN' RICH BERGERON'S LATEST LEGAL FIGHT: INDIANA PLASTIC SURGEON SUES FORMER PATIENT TO SILENCE ON-LINE COMPLAINTS

By: Rich Bergeron

NOTE: MANY OF THE LINKS AND WEB-SITES MIGHT BE BROKEN SINCE Dr. EPPLEY'S LEGAL TEAM WAS SUCCESSFUL AT TEMPORARILY SHUTTING THEM DOWN, BUT THEY MAY BE RESTORED IF THE LATEST APPEAL IS A SUCCESS. FOR THE MOMENT,VISIT JUDGE SARAH EVANS BARKER SUCKS to learn more about the case.

Dr. Barry Eppley, MD, DMD is an Indianapolis plastic surgeon who obviously has no idea what kind of floodgates he opened up when he sued Lucille Iacovelli on March 30, 2009 and had his lawyers name me to the initial Temporary Restraining Order.

Had Eppley done his research before sicking Harvard's Own Hasty-Pudding Hatchet Man Todd Richardson of Lewis & Kappes on poor Lucille, he would have discovered that there's a reason Lucille was featured in the HBO Documentary Plastic Disasters.

This case was so out of the ordinary that the Indianapolis Business Journal started tracking it nearly as soon as it hit the docket. IBJ Reporter J.K. Wall wrote an excellent article about the case and also wrote me an email about Judge Sarah Evans Barker's potential bias in the matter considering she is on the board of directors at the parent company of the hospitals Eppley practices in.

JUDGE SARAH EVANS BARKER (left) has refused to provide equal footing to all parties involved in this situation, blatantly ignored Lucille's duly presented evidence, and taken Eppley's own word as expert testimony. Actually, considering Eppley has only spoken through his own attorney in this case, Judge Barker's given him an extra benefit of the doubt and taken Eppley's word straight from the mouths of Lewis & Kappes attorneys.

This frivolous case brought by Eppley and exacerbated by Judge Barker's blatant bias has taken time away from a lot of more important activities in my life, namely the legal situation surrounding the almost 380 shareholders in Xyience who were screwed over by that company's fraudulent bankruptcy.

Dr. Barry Eppley, in my humble opinion, is the reason why legal costs are so high when it comes to health care. I have seen Doctors like Eppley routinely try to hide their medical malpractice record to make it easier to attract unsuspecting patients. It is getting harder and harder to find accurate records or histories on even the best of physicians with the most impeccable credentials. Public Citizen once made a valiant effort to track bad, or "questionable" doctors, but nobody took the torch and continued their work.

Dr. Eppley can engage all the lawyers in all the law firms in every free state in this country if he wants. They will not be able to overcome the entire history of Supreme Court precedents preventing him from winning this case and continuing his unconstitutional injunction past the appeals level. Judge Barker can have all the political juice a judge can possibly have, but if she's knee deep in culpability, I'll expose her for it. It just exponentially gets worse from here, and fines or arrests of each and every one of us helping Lucille will do nothing but fuel our passion to revolt even more intensely against this indefensible and frivolous sham of a case.

Dr. Eppley needs to realize that the court of public opinion will be his ultimate judge, and he should have figured that out before filing this fabricated lawsuit. He is ultimately only going to prove to everyone following the case that he is a true scumbag with no scruples, as I believe he's already proven by having Lucille immediately committed to a psych ward to kick this case off. He acts as if he knows he only has one choice: fabricate a clean reputation no matter how many lies he has to tell to do it. Rather than publicly respond and officially dismiss Lucille's complaints, Eppley's using lawyers to do his dirty work. The fact that he would take further advantage of such a frail, defenseless, innocent victim of what I believe is one of the worst mistakes of his surgical career is beyond despicable. It is almost like a guy raping a woman, getting away with it, and then suing her to prevent her from getting an abortion and to get custody of the child.

Please tell Dr. Eppley how you feel about this case and watch the video below. This case is more important than you think. If this thing gets rigged, the domino effect will continue on. We all have a stake in this. If you keep a blog or comment about issues on other blogs, someday this case could reach out and touch you if you piss someone off who can afford an attorney.

We need to draw the line in the sand and show the Indiana Federal Courts and Judge Sarah Evans Barker that they forgot one thing while they went about denying us our rights to free speech. There's a little thing called the First Amendment in play here, and it's not some obscure rule of procedure or statute you can misinterpret or read your own way. It's pretty cut and dried.

Please contact Eppley and his lawyers (their email addresses are in the video) and tell them to stop going after an innocent victim. Contact Judge Barker's deputy and tell her that Barker has no business staying on this case and needs to step down immediately. Start your own blog entry about this subject, populate our links, and keep the word of mouth spreading so these people think twice about pushing this case any further. This case is about way more than just one woman from Cape Cod. It could impact everyone in this country in due time if we don't stop the injustice now.
