State Unmoved by Dr. Gryboski's Clean Bill

Death Thread
Licensing Board Not as Quick to Clear Doctor
EDITOR's NOTE; writer Jeff Blanchard is an exceedingly lazy man, and he has figured out a way to convey a story without having to work as much. Rather than wrestle around with the results of his exchanges with the state's medical board concerning the status of Dr. Gryboski, 0n right, he has cut, pasted and forwarded the email history on the subject, unedited. ----- Original Message -----

Dear Board,
I'm a reporter interested in knowing whether and/or when you plan to consider the matter of Ann Gryboski, the Cape Cod doctor who shot her husband to death on Easter Sunday, relinquished her license to practice medicine and subsequently reapplied for its return.
Thank you very much for your prompt consideration,
Sincerely,
Jeff Blanchard, 45 Long Pond Road, Brewster, MA 02631, 508-896-4711

Dr. Gryboski entered into a Voluntary Agreement Not to Practice with the Board on April 10 of this year. The Agreement is as the name suggests - she agreed not to practice medicine. The Agreement provides that it remains in effect until further order of the Board. The Board has taken no action with respect to Dr. Gryboski since the original Agreement.
Press inquiries are best directed to me. My phone is 617-654-9867 and email is Russell.Aims@state.ma.us

good morning, Russ
I'm only writing because I can no longer find her name in your profiles, as if she were a Catholic priest or something, and was wondering whether the statement below still holds true, or what...
If there is even a hearing scheduled, I hope you will let me know as you can imagine it will be quite a story having a murderer doctor on the cape....
Thanks

Nothing has changed since my last email. Her Profile can, however, be found on our website by un-checking the "show all active physicians" box on the Profiles mainpage. Well, her actual Profile isn't available, but her name appears in a search and when you click on it, it says she is in a Voluntary. That's all you see.
Dr. Gryboski can certainly be referred to as Dr., as can anyone with an M.D. It's the degree that confers the honorific, not the license.
Hope that's helpful,
Russ

perfect! thanks very much, Russ say, do you keep running totals of docs in trouble? by county? by hospital? the morning rollcall at cape cod hospital is starting to resemble a line-up, and I was just wondering in passing if that has been quantified anywhere for public dissemination already, or if it's just a sketchy observation on my part, Thanks again,

sorry if I sound rankled about this dr. gryboski thing, Russ
I have no horse in the race, but got bugged when things started piling up and forming a scenario in which she goes to hospital for battered wife treatment on saturday night, easter eve., this friend of the DA, and has her wounds treated, and interacts in myriad ways with sundry people and cameras etc.at the hospital where she is known..and what, drives herself home to the house where the beater is and falls asleep and gets up the next morning, Easter morning, and manages to make it til noon when whatever happens and she cops to shooting this wife-beater two or maybe three times because he narrowly missed her with a measuring tape across the room from where he sat with his bum hip, disabled? and she walks? and the hospital administrators literally pass the donation basket for her legal defense, in the hospital administration offices?
holy smokes
thanks for letting me vent,
better in a note than in a paper, I suppose

Dr. Gryboski took her gun from her purse which was on the floor. She told her husband to stop. He taunted her and began to move toward her saying, "You're so dead, you don't know what you started." She fired once, he continued to advance, she fired again, striking him twice in the torso

Jeff,
As someone who travels the path of MOST resistance--I applaud you for your unwavering endurance & commitment to this story.
I'm also familiar with cases of DV- I can honestly say at first I was sympathetic of AG's situation in media(read the interview of brother in law-hyannisnews.com.-she avoided a trial)& outraged at the DA for granting her preferential treatment. I bet they know each-committee's, fundraiser's, hospital events, ETC. CCH must be taking a big hit financially with her out of practice--motivation was political for her to get off with a mere 50k for shooting her husband while the adult son watched. She could have fled easily, he was unarmed. A tape measure never killed anyone. She had other options, but resorted to murder, in my opinion. Someone mentioned it could have been the son & she covered for him. Why did it take so long to call 911? Why did the DA insist the family not speak to the media? What do the neighbor's say? GJ-zero degress of separation on CC. Brother-in-law claims severe depression/hospitalization/suicidal.

Not totally agreed, Buzz-brain
Even abusers have right of due process. She should have taken him to court years ago like every other brave woman seeking a divorce from an abusive spouse. CM abusing women? You know the girlfriend's personally who made these claims? We heard they were seeking welfare checks & retaliation--sometimes men make bad choices in women, too.
DV is not so easy to understand. It takes two & a co-dependent relationship. An abuser--a victim, sometimes both abuse, it's complicated, that's why these cases usually end up in court because they can't be resolved amicably. No one can be judged by DV's alone. When the judge decides whether to grant the order, he/she must hear all the facts & it can take repeated appearances in court until the judge figures out who is most culpable--not an easy task. The prosecution's case was weak in CM's case, so having a record of petty burglary & RO's was easy to stick in the eyes of the prejudiced public/jury.
AG should have divorced her husband years ago.
She should have stood trial. PL deserves that much.

I heard a story today about a woman in MA that was stabbed to death......she told her husband she wanted a divorce (she never got "her" day in court). There was the woman that was working as a waitress in MA who's boyfriend stabbed her to death before Thanksgiving as she left work. Apparently she broke up with him. These guys are ticking time bombs. It dosen't take much to set them off. The Dr had the right to protect herself. He could have gotten help for himself as well. Maybe that way, he would have stopped beating her and lived to talk about it.

There have also been two stories since the Dr.'s, of women who killed their husbands...both claiming self-defense, but they were arrested, and are going to trial. So, what's the difference with these women?
crusader [Member] writes:
okay buzz..no more names...I'll try not to allow you to infuriate me..yes, sometimes a woman must defend herself when it is the ONLY OPTION, same goes for men. But the DA won't provide the public with the events leading up to, or after the shooting. Shouldn't that matter? In CW's case, we had to hear about the butcher, baker, & candleman...he told the public that she wanted to boink her best friend's husbands....he called her a pig, an equal opportunity player....but won't say a word about his friend the doc..that's all together different...she is worthy of respect, but CW's not? If PL had a knife in hand, I may be persuaded to agree, but a freakin' TAPE MEASURE? And what of the brother-in-law's allegations of her mental instablilty, hospitalization, severe depression & suicidal tendencies. The GJ didn't hear any of that because the DA didn't allow any family members to speak. What do the neighbor's know? Many of her patients sided with her because they were dependent on her care, didn't know her personally. Does the DA know AG personally? It matters.

Her deceased husband's was--Pat Lancaster.
Go read the brother-in-law's interview on hyannisnews.com for some fill in the blanks. Jeff's already written about this story. It's under his blogs. Don't you people have anything worthy of b*tching about? Pettiness, childness & rude remarks. That's about it. How about some intelligent ADULT discussion for a change? I think this site could use some.
She shot her husband with her adult son present. She took too long calling 911--didn't she want to save her husband's life? Why did the DA tell everyone in the family to hush up? The guy controls the media on CC which is so obvious. Why do you people allow this? You elected him. His job is to find REAL criminals, not put people behind bars to save his friends. I'm entitled just like you to say whatever the hell you want. Time to grow up now, read the writing on the wall.
Jeff is a well respected journalist who is brave enough to tell the truth. Woodward & Bernstein couldn't do better.

The ex-brother-in-law that apparently has a bone to pick with his ex-family. The same guy who expects Dr G's son punched her in the face as a cover up. At least it gives you some fresh foder for another conspiracy theory:) Keep up the "good" fight, this world is a better place because of you.

No one is questioning PL's alleged abuse. It's quite possible he was an abusive man. But divorce is ALLOWED in this country last I checked AG should have tossed the bum out on his ass, if he was so freakin'abusive. Why didn't she? I don't buy that she was in fear of him coming after her. She carried the gun--has the means, the profession & the support of her family to get out of a bad situation--but did not. I would think most men would challenge you on your stance regarding this story. Living with abuse is bad enough--killing your husband with three gun shots is much worse than the avoidable solution--DIVORCE. I don't respect the DA for not allowing the press to find out what really happened here, & furthermore, allowing the GJ to acquit her of all charges. At the very least, there should have been a trial. I didn't see anyone coming forward to deny that she is mentally unstable. If that is the case, she has no business seeking her medical license or regaining her right to carry a firearm. Others who have done less, face worse consequences. Why did the DA favor the doc?

Plus, what has he done to do something about the DA's office? He's the Cape & Island's Congressman, is he not? Why isn't he questioning what is going on within the courts and these cases that stink to high heaven...ignoring the problem is just as bad as being the problem.

"No ones questioning PL's abuse" Huh? Isn't that why the hyannisnews interviewed the ex brolaw? To make it sound like PL was a nice guy and maybe the victim?
If it were so easy to leave an abusive spouse, we wouldn't see so many cases of spousal murder on the news. It happens all the time. It even happens when the abused spouse does leave. The grand jury acts independently, they here the evidence and decide.
blt, thanks for the support.

Ya know Crusader, all resort areas are just that. They do not have much employment outside of hospitality and medical. Therefore, people choosing to live in resort areas, either can afford to work the local jobs, acquire their own biz, commute or move to the area when they retire. Common sense. It is not up to anyone to provide you with jobs to your liking. Live where you can work and afford to live. It always amazes me the Brazilians come here, work their arses off, save every dime, purchases houses, start their own businesses, some go to college nights,( gee, that's what I did too and generations of immigrants before me) yet you people cry cry cry. Get over your sad selves. No one owes you anything. The beauty of the Cape is, that it is what it is. Take it or leave it. Quit acting so damn jealous and hateful, because you couldn't make it here. Enjoy your life in Somerville and get passed your failure on Cape Cod.

Most of you nitwits wouldn't know a good journalist if one beat you over the head with the Washington Post. It takes intelligence to write well, be willing to go the distance, do the research, investigate roads many are unwilling to venture. Jeff does just that--he informs the reader with facts, forcing us to demand answers of our public officials who YOU PAY FOR--this case your island troll, the DA. Because if we don't have great journalists who force these guys to answer the hard questions--just who will? Reading Jack's blogs is like taking 2 dramamine an not waking up! Jeff is a great writer, you are lucky to have him on this site. I hope you know that.
Now I suggest going out & buy some bottled water because I think the toxic dump site has polluted your brains.

Susan,
I have moved on...but believe it's my duty to warn others who are provided with false expectations of Cape Cod life. It's not the utopia you sell to tourism. The good jobs are reserved for the locals and the good ole boy club. I don't like to be lied to by politicians or Cape Codder's who just want people to move to the Cape, so they can take our hard earned money from elsewhere. My story is not a rare case, as you would like to profess, it's unfortunately more common than most would like to believe. Those who leave don't want to be reminded of their poor judgement. I'm not here to talk about that--and don't try to use it as ammunition. It was my choice to stay for 5 years. I've learned and moved on.

I'd just like to add to what Susan said....ahhhhh, well hell, I think she said it all. Crusader, why don't you give us an example of those who came to the Cape with "false expectations". When I first moved to the Cape it was strictly a seasonal economy. Since then, it's grown into a year round economy and the population has more than doubled. The Cape is basicaly "built out". How do you think that happened?

Charlestown, Somerville, Medford, South Boston, Quincy, Weymouth, Braintree, Norfolk County, Plymouth County, New Bedford, Wareham, Hyannis, Masphee, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Ptown.....now, here is the burning question: What do all these towns have in common? No answers will be provided.
Cape Cod is their playgroud and what goes on in the city is easier to hide, but not on the island...especially after what you read in the papers about Falmouth + Truro LE....CW's case opened the big can of worms that no one wants to see.

bittersweet,
So, my point is this:
What is the difference? You have crime/corruption in the Boston area, and YOU HAVE crime/corruption on the island.
What is most troubling to me is when people will pretend like it does not happen in their backyard...well, IT DOES, and IT IS whether you like it or not. If you want to clean up the island and make it the best place to live, than do something about it. Otherwise, shut the hell up and face the facts, don't pretend it doesn't happen there, because it does, and why it is worse is that you tell the world it is a perfect place to raise your children, the schools are wonderful, the jobs are fantastic....you are lieing to the public at large when you portray that false image. The Cape is not ALL bad, there are some positives, but for me, I can't think of any at the moment because I'm still pissed off about allowing myself to be deceived by those who are only looking for outsider handouts so they can survive there. One boat yard owner said, "elders who move hear are easy prey for those in business who exploit them"....

I've lived on the Cape for over 30 yrs and have been coming here all my life. I happen to work in the media and have scene white garbage men convicted of murder on the Cape as well. I've seen a State Trooper put away for crimes, I've seen countless numbers of white criminals tried and convicted. I've also covered news in every state in Mass and beyond and let me tell you, the Cape is no different. For bitter, jeff and crusader to think that the Cape is any different than anywhere else is just plain wrong. Does the Cape have a different economy than other places...of course. It's a vacation/retirement area with a fragile eco system. It's not Natick or Quincy and you won't find the same jobs here. That's always been the case. However, all my friends seem to be doing just fine, making a good living and enjoying life on the Cape. Sorry that your so preoccupied with being miserable and blaming everyone else for your lot in life that you can't enjoy the benefits of what the area has to offer.

Totally missing every point we try to make....
A black man who is innocent(my opinion) is rotting in jail due to the unblatant, but oh so pervasive racism that exists here...Is it getting better? YES. Was it the reason CM was convicted? In my opinon, hell yes.
And following that, the real killer is still at large.
A woman shot and killed her husband, it was questioned whether she had "a relationship" with the DA...she gets off without even a trial.
Kennedy and Chapaquiddick...how is it that I have a feeling how you feel on THAT one.
Fireman shoots someone in cold blood..walking the streets today.
It's not about how great Cape Cod is...it's about the crap that is allowed to go on here. And facing up to it, and doing something about it! Why is it you have such a hard time grasping that? Rose-colored glasses are not going to help our grandkids get the kind of world they deserve...one that so many people have fought for. And someone like you is always trying to stop them.

First, I'm not missing the point. Why don't you tell me some factual information on why racisim is so pervasive on Cape Cod? If you want to play the race card then why is it that blacks are 7 times more likely to comit homicide than whites? Is that a racisit statement? No, its a fact. CM was represented by one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state. He was found guilty. You really have no information that the "killer" is still at large do you?

Buzz,
How is your reading comprehension these days? "For bitter, jeff and crusader to think that the Cape is any different than anywhere else is just plain wrong."
I said the Cape was the same as far as crime/corruption.
It's a known fact that outsiders are not welcomed unless they remain invisible or condone the BS that goes on there..."don't forget to bring your ATM cards & fat wallets"...that's all we're good for...not to be part of communities that do not embrace outsiders...you do get that in the city, we don't have a majority of one class, one race, one religion, we have many. So stop with the generalizations of "we can't make it, fit in, it must be us"...cause it's not just a small minority who see it that way. Pick up the Codder sometime, read about disgruntled newcomers trying to start businesses who are banned.
Read what I wrote..please....I have stated just that...CC is NOT DIFFERENT from any other place except for your dancing fiddler crabs, delicate eco system...and all that makes the place unique--but it's got criminal elements just like the rest.

Let's hope Oprah is not reading this--"If you want to play the race card then why is it that blacks are 7 times more likely to comit homicide than whites?"
NOT a FACT-- Where do you get your information from...the DA's website?
I don't believe there is an accurate account of how many people commit crimes, due to--
White collar crimes exist, cost us billions & many cases don't get solved, published or prosecuted, many just pay their way out, they can do so, look at ENRON for a big, bad example of the fleecing of American citizens.
I wager to say that white's are probably just as capable of committing crimes as any other race if not more--but our judicial system is screwed up. It's easier to prosecute someone of color who is without legal representation, who has had little education, therefore very little opportunities in life. Have you ever been homeless, Buzz? Or lived in a rat infested apartment complex unable to make your life better because the good jobs only go to the other half. It's real. I see it everyday because I live in the real world unlike you.

The Wal-Mart employee whose tires were slashed said he was told two tapes of the incident no longer worked. "It's just kind of coincidental that both copies don't work," said the car's owner.
Coincidence or malfeasance? At first, neither the Falmouth police nor the district attorney's office could explain what happened to the tape. Now we learn the tape is viewable on specialized video equipment, which the district attorney's office could have provided if his office had asked any 16-year-old audio-visual specialist to help operate.
That's the best they can do?

Shows a certain attitude - like, it was HIS abortion, HIS body, etc. Maybe it is a family issue. Have a hard time with somebody defending M. Vick for one thing. That guy was not just betting on dog fights - he was executing dogs who weren't aggressive enough. Some comparison to use! Perhaps very telling.
Same with the interview with the brother-in-law. The guy is divorced so he obviously has this deep resentment of the Gryboski women. If he could have contained that obvious resentment and hatred, I might have believed him more.

My point about reading the interview of the former brother-in-law is to note what he has stated with regard to the family remaining silent after the shooting, and his claims about her health during the marriage. IF true, could have some bearing to the chain of events leading up to this terrible tragedy. That's all I'm saying. Why weren't the family members allowed to speak out?

Crusader,
In your zest for tearing down the DA, I believe you are being a traitor to your own gender. All that I have read spells ABUSE in this case. The case went before a Grand Jury and they did not indict.
" She told her coworkers and friends that her black eyes and other facial injuries were the result of playing basketball with her sons." (Boston Globe)
I have to assume that there were witnesses to this and this is what the Grand Jury responded to.
When you talk about her "health" - you mean her depression and suicide attempt?? And you don't think that was a result of being trapped in an abusive "good catholic" marriage?? Are you saying that this "health" problem is proof that she was unstable - and the fact that she first tried to take her own life should be used against her?
I found the brother-in-law's interview to be pathetic and incredibly transparent. I can't believe hyannis.com would lap it up like that without question.

groovy,
I have questions AS OTHERS DO in the manner these cases have been dealt with by the DA's office. I become passionate at times about crimes against women, namely Christa, a case I followed because it was at the door of my employment on lower Cape for over 6 months time since the summer of 02'. It was all anyone talked about. I was outraged at the callous attitude toward her brutal murder. It sparked my curiosity...
At first, I felt empathy for Dr. G, that was before I read questions that didn't get answered found on hyannisnews.com. I read the interview of the brother-in-law. I had more questions.
We have only heard one side of these stories, in all of these cases, in my opinion. Why? Why no answers?

The MA AG's office could care less about your (significant mental health) issues.
Just ask Jeff. They're aware he's a stalker.
Join the Boo Ya's. Or just get a job.
We have to wait until April for you to get a job, and shut up on CCToday and CCTimes, until you 'humiliate' everyone with your 'brilliance'?
Even Capt. Jack asked you to give everyone a break.

About This Blog
Samizdat (Russian: самиздат) was the clandestine copying and distribution of government-suppressed literature or other media in Soviet-bloc countries. Copies were made a few at a time, and those who received a copy would be expected to make more copies. This was often done by handwriting or typing. (Credit; wikipedia)
Jeff Blanchard is a freelance writer who lives in Brewster. This blog is an archive of his past work.
