Circumfetishists keep pointing out that Paul M. Fleiss is a convicted fellon. This is true; but unfortunately however, delibrately misleading; it is devoid of context. He was convicted "in a prostitution ring". Since nothing is wrong with prostitution, Paul M. Fleiss never did anything wrong. Mentioning his conviction of an unjust law, prejustices people against Paul M. Fleiss. Since antiprostitution-laws are unjust and the conviction has absolutely nothing to do with the work of Paul M. Fleiss, it is best not to mention it as irrelevant and biased.

since antiprostitution-laws are unjust

This is a blatant POV. (One that I happen to agree with, but that doesn't matter). I removed the possibly prejudicial "convicted felon" language which, while accurate, possibly introduces a more-than-necessary negative slant. - Hephaestos 04:37, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Well, well... I just wanted to make a quick on Dr. Fleiss... I knew this great man personally, and my wife new him better. He was her Pediatrician when she was a baby, then became the ONLY Dr. that we would take our girls too. My wife would call him aT NIGHT AT HIS HOME, IN HIS BED, WAKING HIM UP, [sometimes] to ask the siliest things. But I have NEVER met, nor do I feel that I will EVER meet a Pediatrician as good as him.


Absolutely - in the 1970's when my parents where working class poor and me and my brothers came down with somthing he paid my family a house call - unheard of! And when I was misdiagnosed for appendicitis my Mom called him in the middle of the night - he sent one of his associates to check up on me and with the correct diagnosis I was sent to the emergency room. Let me just state what the person above said - I have NEVER met, nor do I feel that I will EVER meet a Pediatrician as good as him.


Can someone add a link to the current legal battle regarding Dr. Fleiss's care for Eliza Jane Scovill, the daughter of AIDS dissident activist Christine Maggiore? Eliza Jane died at 3 years old of untreated AIDS infection. This is an ongoing proceeding with the California Medical Board.


It was not Fleiss but a Doctor who works as his associate - I do not know the status of the case. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.33.44.66 (talk) 21:48, August 23, 2007 (UTC)
