Another former Edmonton doctor has stepped forward with allegations she was forced from her job and subjected to accusations of incompetence and mental instability after she complained health-care cuts were jeopardizing patient safety and lives.
"Physicians can't advocate for their patients in a culture of suppression and personal intimidation," the doctor said in a prepared statement provided exclusively to CBC News. "Such a culture existed for prolonged periods during my years of tenure in Alberta."
The doctor spoke on the condition of anonymity because she is still bound by a non-disclosure agreement she signed in order to receive severance.
She agreed to speak out after seeing a CBC story about Dr. Ciaran McNamee, the former head of thoracic surgery for Capital Health.
