I am writing regarding your published letter from Dr Erik Paetkau, Sechelt, [BCMJ 2000;42(10):451].

I couldn’t resist telling you of the four surgeons (three of whom were a group) who taught me as an intern in Edmonton in 1978–79: Drs Hackett, Killam, Bury, and Hyde (honest!).

Do others out there have similar anecdotes or apprepot names to give us?

Several readers of the BC Medical Journal have brought to my attention an anonymous letter printed in the BC Medical Journal (2000;42[8]:374) entitled "What’s Wrong With This Picture?" This letter presented an inaccurate and unfortunate view of the admissions process to the UBC Faculty of Medicine.
