What Happened to Flea?
Published by Vijay May 16th, 2007 in Blogging, Medical blogs, News, Other BloggersMoof sent me an email. Among other things, she had asked…
Have you heard anything about what’s happened to Flea? His blog is –>> gone <<– . I don’t know if it was hijacked, or if he deleted it. I dropped him a note when I found out, but I haven’t heard anything yet. I know he has a court date this month … I don’t know if his blog vanishing could have something to do with that.
I checked and this is what I found at Flea’s blog….
I hope it is something temporary. May be he took his blog down to establish his credentials as a ‘respectable doctor’ as opposed to a frivolous, pesky insect in front of the jury.
Any news will be appreciated.
This is becoming an alarming trend. We can’t keep losing good medical bloggers like this.
Here’s what other friends of Flea are saying about this…
Dr. Flea Disappears - Dr. A.
Is Flea gone? - Kevin, MD.
One Injustice after Another - Moof.
I would like to add to Dr. A’s invitation.
Dr. Flea, you are free to guest post here too at any time. Lawsuits against radiologists are not that common in India (yet!). And I don’t think there’s an extradition treaty between the USA and India.

This is alarming. I blogged about this as well today.
Maybe he’ll be back when he wins his case. I hope so.
Vijay, both Dr. Flea and Fat Doctor have taken down their blogs in the last 48 hours. It’s been a bit like a nightmare, since both are friends. I think that they need to know that we’re pulling for them, each in their own painful experiences.
Thank you, my friend, for posting about it.
Hi Vijay,
I am feeling very sad! I tried to get to DrDork but it was down too. Goodness what is happening. This is really making me worried as I started off hoping to educate the public and share with fellow medical bloggers my experiences.
PS I have changed my address.
I hope you don’t mind my popping in. I just wanted to say…I so miss Flea. (I’m not familiar with the other bloggers.) I would hate to see all of you go, or be sectioned off, when it’s been such a wonderful and open opportunity for exchanges of ideas, knowledge, and support.
Sad, yes. The end of the world, no.
