Class Action involving "disgraced" pathologist to proceed: NB Ct. of Appeal

Dr. R. Menon tried to stop a class action filed against him by patients whose test results were mis-read by Menon.

The New Bruswick Court of Appeal ruled last week that the class action can proceed.

I have been following this fiasco for the last two years. For more information you can take a look a some of my past posts:

Pathologist Menon Should Have Been Fired Years Ago: N.B. Inquiry

Disgraced Pathologist Menon “Sorry” but Blames Everyone in Sight

Disgraced Pathologist Menon's Work had 'Big Problems': New Brunswick

Health Authority Knew About Pathologist's Problems: Miramichi

Perhaps now the parties can get down to the real issue. Compensating the victims who were injured or died, because they didn't receive treatment for cancer, because of the problems with Menon's work.

Brain Injury Awareness: BIANS (Hfx) presents mini-film festival

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month.

Every year in Nova Scotia between 2200 and 3500 people sustain a brain injury through a variety of ways such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, strokes, near drowning and aneurysms. No one recovers 100% from a brain injury. Dealing with the effects of brain injury is a lifelong journey for brain injury survivors and their families. The Brain Injury Association of Nova Scotia works to enhance the quality of life for survivors and their families.

To promote Brain Injury Awareness Month, the Halifax Chapter of the Brain Injury Association is inviting the public to two special movie viewings this month in the Royal Bank Theatre at the Halifax Infirmary on Summer Street.

On June 23rd at 7:30 pm the movie 'Braindamadj'd Take II' will be shown. On June 29th at 7:30 pm the documentary movie 'Breakaway' will be shown with a post-movie discussion with the subjects and producer of the film.

There will be no admission charged to these movie showings, but donations to the Brain Injury Association of Nova Scotia will be accepted at the door.
