"Don't write your radiology critique out of anger, even if you feel
angry. We don't want to cause her any more problems.

"Write anything positive you can think of and leave it at that. Ian
has tried hard and none of us want to hurt him. Also, use a typewriter
and keep a copy. None of us wants to hear Randy fabricate results to
his advantage.

"As most of you have heard, no medical student will be allowed to
testify for her, or for that matter, even attend the hearing. Since
many of you have indicated you want to do something, just remember that
we've been officially told to cool it. The reality is that our future

because of it. In it, I expressed my displeasure and labeled the
prosecution of Diana an administrative gang bang."

The class applauded.

quite a few SmurFFs would have been sent away for analysis."

"No. All kinds of things were written that made me think that
something was wrong. I couldn't understand it but I didn't go back
through the old critiques and try to pick them out."

"But Randy did. Is that correct?"

"Yes. He told me he had found three SmurFFs among the radiology
critiques that he thought were in your handwriting." Suddenly going
from sober to smirk, Ian finished slyly, "and he was right."

Ignoring the obvious baiting attempt, Diana continued. "When you were
referring to the critiques that jumped out at you, I take it you meant
all the SmurFFs--not just the ones in evidence called 'suspicious'
critiques?" She indicated the folders containing the material that had
been sent to the docu
