As an FBI agent (now retired) for 31 years, I am familiar with press reportings of my investigations and of others in our field office. I am also familiar with the fact that in some cases, these reports either misrepresented, distorted, or were plain untruthful concerning these investigations.
I realized there was nothing I could do once the articles had been published. Any attempt to correct the untruthful reporting just would have made matters worse. It is an awful thing to be tried and convicted as a result of press articles. There is no defense. The truth of any criminal matter can only be established in court with the witnesses under oath. At the time of trial, accounts are usually very different from what was previously reported in the newspapers.
Dr. Guidry performs a vital service on Marco Island. He has stayed faithful to the practice of family medicine and operates a walk in clinic, where no appointments need be made, and where service is always prompt and courteous. His diagnoses have always been accurate and his prescriptions effective. He feels no compunction about recommending a specialist when he feels this is necessary. I have observed persons of different ethnic backgrounds and of all ages in his office.
It was obvious to me that we shared a faith in Dr. Guidry and a gratitude for the way he runs his clinic. After three years of visits to his office, we have been 100 percent satisfied with his service and competence.
I have often commented to my wife that contrary to popular opinion, we have gotten better and more competent medical service in Florida than we did in the Philadelphia suburbs. Dr. Guidry has been a big reason for this belief.

This paper has been very quick to report charges against our citizens but slow in reporting what if any resolution has occured. Every story has an end unless you are writing fairy tales. Dr. Guidry has always been a very good doctor to my family and we can always count on him to see us anytime.

I guess there is posturing already going on for the next election. Someone needs to do something as there are many quotes from Roger Hall and other potential candidates that may not look so good to the Community if Dr. Guidry is convicted, or even with what has happened thus far. But like Mr. Glaub states, OJ Simpson was acquitted.
I don't think anyone has questioned Dr. Guidry's Medical ability (although my understanding is that there are many that would), it is his ethics and conduct that have come under investigation.

I never had any problems with him, but I don't have boobies.
Hey Ed, I hear that the City Council members are covering up the alien landing last week on South Beach as well for fear of retaliation in the next election.
It is unfortunate that our country is so weak minded as to let the media try our cases, but what do you expect from a country that is more concerned with watching lives of stars and famous people then living their own lives.

One can only surmise that much of what is published here is due to a lack of real news

Dr. Guidry has a past that predates this investigation, and ppl are responding to the whole story, not just this investigation. Good job on trying to stand behind someone who has made his own bed in this community. It's too late to save face, all you can do is drag yourself down with him. Free healthcare for sex is not a "vital service" to this community. Neither is chasing your wife around with a gun. This is tabloid material. It does nothing to help our community, unless you consider dragging Marco's name through the mud a good thing.
PS: Right on, Fossil - I agree 100%. By attaching your 31 years of experience to his defense, you're only hurting your own credibility.

Barry, you are very wrong in deed. IF you were really sick you would know that guidry doesn't dispense the correct medications, he doesn't refer you to specialists nor does he know pneumonia to a deadly illness. Yes, I know this from personal experience. Know the facts before you speak. You're but one patient. I can come up with at least 10 that will tell you how horrible he is. He needs help. He's not in a right state of mind.
