Apology

From today's Telegram, Dr. Joseph Tumilty apologizes to Our Dear Premier:

NLMA president misspeaks

In the article, "Williams faces heat over inquiry comments," which appeared in the May 13 edition of The Telegram, I was quoted as saying that the subject of the Commission of Inquiry into Hormone Receptor Testing was not discussed during the formal part of a meeting between the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association and the premier to address issues related to the recruitment and retention of pathologists and oncologists. In fact, there was discussion about the commission which I unfortunately did not recall. I wish to apologize to the premier for any upset or damage to his reputation that my inaccurate statement may have caused.

Dr. Joseph Tumilty, president
Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association

Heartfelt, and so very lawyerly.
