More "Political Football" in Alberta? Anonymous Doctor Speaks Out

Wild Rose MLA Heather Forsyth received a letter from a Doctor, requesting anonymity, speaking to the inability to have a frank and open discussion respecting the problems in health care.

While the content of the letter as respects the doctors own concerns respecting his own jeopardy in speaking out is somewhat ambiguous, his comments respecting what might fairly be suggested to be an attack on Dr. Raj Sherman should raise more than a few eyebrows.

As a lawyer, I have seen this happen on more than a couple of occasions - under the guise of "seeking help" for an opposing party, you contact their doctor to suggest a need for a psychiatric intervention - where the true motive is self-serving - trying to discredit and harass the person you are suggesting you are "trying to help".

I would call that "off-side".
