Regarding Mark Blankenburg: I think it is high time people stop referring to this criminal as a pediatrician and doctor. He is neither. He is a convicted pedophile/drug dealer.

He stole the innocence of his patients and abused the trust of their parents. He has surrendered his license to practice medicine in Ohio. He may have a degree that denotes that he has the educational level of a doctor, but having known many fine physicians on a personal level, and through my work as a registered nurse, continuing to refer to this person with a title that denotes trust and respect betrays those physicians who have devoted their lives to the well-being and health of our children.

I would much prefer to see him referred to as simply Mark Blankenburg, convicted pedophile.
