BC Nurses Union President Debra McPherson is accusing the operator of two private clinics in Vancouver of using ‘snake-like’ tactics to deflect attention from his unethical behaviour.
“I think it’s grossly unfair. This is a man who practices in violation of the law of the province and of the nation, who openly admits to it and that’s what the real issue is.”
Speaking with CKNW’s Simi Sara, McPherson says Doctor Brian Day is violating doctor-patient confidentiality, by claiming BCNU executives have visited his Cambie Surgery Centre.
Day says: “That’s absolutely untrue. I did not name any individuals. I’m talking about a generic group of people. A group that includes politicians of all political stripes, it includes executives from unions of all types, including the BC Nurses Union.”
McPherson says she can’t deny Day’s claims, without the names of patients he’s treated.
He admits that would be a violation of privacy.
