can believe as they wish. That he was master of the situation and that he
could be ferocious as a lion or as gentle as a lamb.
To illustrate how threatened court proceedings could be
handled, Dr. Knef told a story about a girl patient for whom he had
extracted a tooth, who had gone home, and later developed a serious svolling
in the jaw, and the girl's father threatened to bring a suit against Knef
for mal-practice.
He explained in some detail how a professional man must
protect his reputation.
He said that he hnd a letter from the father's
lawyer which he ignorad entirely, but met this lawyer on the street some time
later and told him that if the suit went on that he, Dr. Knef, knew how to
protect himself. That he was protected by three insurance companies, but
if professional reputation was at stake, he would use means for protection
which he described as a threat to put the girl's father and mother on the stand
and embarrass them by asking personal questions in regard to diseases such
as syphilis, and if the case went on he would break up their home.
In conclusion, Dr. Inef was told that his proposition was
absolutely immoral and that the Company would have nothing whatever to do
with it.
Dr. Knef said, immoral is it ?
Is that final ?
Yours truly,

President.
