    "I see no mention of the Institute for Patient Safety and their role in these issues. Aside from selected physicians (the few) who choose to speak up publicly, it's rather a continuing sad situation in Canada. For those who do speak up, healthcare professionals, patients and the public, we seem to ostracize those individuals who have the tenacity to persevere in truth telling and simply trying to do the best possible under often terrible circumstances. More so, where is the peer process in this aside from political fence sitting. There is definitely a need for both federal and provincial ombudsman positions 'with teeth'- to correct these ongoing errors of judgment."
