Now a board-certified pediatrician, Sue Rlieingold is in her second of three years in a pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She performs both basic science research and clinical work and must publish to finish her fellowship (Teen Beat is out, but the New England journal of Medicine will suffice). She recently saw Bill Gifford, a feature writer for Philadelphia Magazine. He has written on the Faith Tabernacle Church, whose only form of medical care is prayer. Needless to say, children have died from preventable illnesses, and parents are being brought up on charges.
