Massachusetts "Quackbuster" Robert S. Baratz MD,
DDS, PhD hopped<br>on a plane last January, from
Boston to Florida, to show up in a<br>West Palm Beach
courtroom as a "surprise rebuttal witness" in
the<br>Florida Dental Board vs Phillips case.<br><br>Baratz
didn't do well during the deposition, then angrily
walked<br>out when he didn't like the questions he was being
asked by<br>Phillips' attorney. And then, after the
dust settled, the story<br>got even
better...<br><br>Seems Baratz had a MAJOR problem, during the
deposition<br>testimony, staying within the bounds of truth. So much so
that<br>PERJURY charges may be on the horizon.<br><br>Baratz LIED
about his qualifications on his CV resume BIG
TIME.<br>Baratz is one of de-licensed MD Stephen
Barrett's<br>(www.quackwatch.com) top lieutenants in the floundering
"quackpot<br>menace."<br><br>Baratz testified (under oath) that he was a
Consultant
for the<br>Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Office of
Criminal Investigation<br>(OCI), and as such had insider
knowledge of FDA policy and<br>thinking. He sounded
impressive and authoritative in his<br>testimony. It's just
that it was all a LIE - The FDA never heard<br>of
Baratz, and I have a letter from the the FDA Office
of<br>Internal Affairs (OIA) to prove what I say.<br><br>Of
course, now the Court has a copy of the FDA
letter...<br><br>Not only did Baratz LIE about his relationship with
FDA, but he<br>LIED about almost all of his current
employment. In his<br>deposition Baratz made FANTASTIC claims
about his qualifications.<br><br><br>HERE IS WHAT I
FOUND when I checked on his claims:<br><br>Most
significant are Baratz’s FALSE CLAIMS to current
employment<br>(on his CV resume):<br><br>(1) On page #2, under
“Practice and Patient Care Experience,”<br>Baratz claims to
be an “Assistant Clinical Professor of<br>Emergency
Medicine, School of Medicine, Boston University
School<br>of Medicine,”<br><br>I called the Boston University
School of Medicine and asked for<br>Baratz. They have no
listing for him. I asked for the Personnel<br>office, and
was directed to the Director of personnel,
George<br>Snowden, who told me that Robert S. Baratz is not an
employee of<br>the University, is NOT ON THE STAFF, and to
his knowledge, has no<br>relationship with the
University. Snowden, a long time employee<br>of the
University, had never heard of Baratz, and wished to
be<br>provided with any documents, or data, where Baratz claimed
an<br>affiliation with the University.<br><br><br>(2) On page #5,
under “Current Hospital Staff Appointments,”
I<br>called all of the three hospitals listed and asked for
Baratz:<br><br>(A) Carney Hospital, after several telephone calls,
responded<br>that Baratz was definitely NOT “on Staff” as he
claims, but was<br>restricted to a limited relationship
called “Provisional<br>Associate,” which, it was
explained to me, meant that he could,<br>with permission,
bring a patient to the hospital. The hospital<br>did
not know of ANY INCIDENT in which Baratz ever brought
a<br>patient to the hospital.<br><br>(B) Martha’s Vineyard
Hospital had no listing for him, knew of no<br>way to
reach him, and DID NOT have him on their staff
directory.<br>They did not know who he was.<br><br>(C) Jordan
Hospital had no listing for him, and their response
to<br>me was “I’ve never heard of him.”<br><br><br>(3) On
page #4, under “Other Professional Experience
and<br>Employment,” Baratz claims “Director, IMCSI (Computer
Based<br>Medical Device Tracking systems)...”<br><br>I called two
different nationwide telephone directory services<br>and
could get no telephone number for a company, or
corporation<br>named IMCSI, nor the longer version of it’s name
(International<br>Medical Consultation Services Inc.). The Internet had no
listing<br>for any such company; no website,
nothing.<br><br><br>(4) MOST IMPORTANT - On page #4, under “Other
Professional<br>Experience and Employment,” Baratz claims “Consultant,
