Editor’s Note: Surgeons at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) took umbrage with a story that appeared in The Gazette (dailygazette.com) related to the care provided to a Kuwaiti woman in 2011. The story (found here) suggests that the patient’s care received priority over the needs of Canadian citizens and casts a harsh light on the relationship between the MUHC and Montreal Medical International, Inc., a private company involved in an $86-million hospital-services agreement with the government of Kuwait in 2010 that makes regular use of MUHC doctors and nurses. The response penned by Dr. Gerald Fried, surgeon-in-chief at the McGill University Health Centre, can be accessed here.
