Four Corners: Branded

edit

I'll add this to the talk page as I don't know if it's appropriate for the article, but I have looked into this as it's now a bit obscure. In 1984 Four Corners contacted Dr Edelsten and requested access to his clinics and interviews. He changed his mind and took an injunction out against the finished program, Branded. This was scheduled for 15 September 1984 but as it was subject to legal action, replaced at the last moment with a repeat of Four Corners: Search Without Rescue from 12 May. Both Chris Masters' home and the Four Corners offices were searched by police, the program was broadcast 3 November. The program. http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/branded---1984/2832026 MartinSFSA (talk) 02:55, 25 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Neutrality Again

As an American, I have no idea who this guy is, but this page reads suspiciously like it has mostly been edited by a convicted felon who was eliminated on the first episode of his season of Celebrity Apprentice. Just sayin'. -- JCaesar (talk) 05:34, 21 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

There seem to be a range of editors. Please point to specific issues.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:33, 21 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dubious

Need help with validating this statement.

After three years in Los Angeles, California, Edelsten returned to Australia in 1978 to resume his general practice, surgical and obstetric commitments.

The issue I have is with the year he returned. There are 2 citations accompanying this statement. this (1) and this (2). Citation 1 has a publication datestamp November 1977 which predates this fact, and citation 2 is behind a login wall, so I'm unable to verify anything on it. From reviewing Citation 1, my understanding is that the association with the given fact of his 1978 return is based on the last paragraph.

He revisited Los Angeles in August, 1976, returned to Australia and "on Sept. 14 last year in my office I thought about my future in America." He established Preventicare here last April, investing $2 million of his profits from his Australian venture.

He's reported to state "Sept. 14 last year" which means that, given the article was published in 1977, he could've been back in Australia in 1976, as opposed to September 1977 which could still fit in the timeframe before the article's publication.

Any thoughts on this? -- Tytrox (talk) 11:50, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
