Scott Jaeck: Dr. Frederick Schoettle

Quotes 

• Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : What do you want?

  Patrick Flanagan : I want to know how we can resolve this case.

  Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : It was resolved. What do you want, Mr. Flanagan? Shouldn't my lawyer be here?

  Patrick Flanagan : I want $750,000.

  Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : Come again?

  Patrick Flanagan : One payment to me, non-negotiable. A check made right now.

  Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : In case no one mentioned it to you, I won that case. According to my lawyer, you have less chance of that then at appeal. So if you're gonna threaten me with that, forget it.

  Patrick Flanagan : I don't think your lawyer is taking all the facts into account.

  Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : What facts?

  Patrick Flanagan : Things that should become public which might ruin your reputation and practice.

  Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : What things?

  Patrick Flanagan : Like what happened to your practice in Philadelphia over 10 years ago.

  Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : I never had a practice in Philadelphia.

  Patrick Flanagan : I think you did. I think you had to pack up and leave Philadelphia just like you did in Framingham, Massachusetts a year before and Essex, New Hampshire two years before that.

  Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : What are you talking about? I've never been to any of those places in my life!

  Patrick Flanagan : I think you have. What do you think it would do to your reputation if it would come out that you left those places after you were caught by your co-workers molesting female patients while they were anesthetized?

  Dr. Frederick Schoettle, DDS : Who told you that?

  Patrick Flanagan : [smirks]  I really don't recall. It could have been... at a party, or some kind of professional function. All I will say is that I heard it and took note of it.
