Dear AAPS Members:
It has been brought to my attention that in Tuesday’s edition of On the Radar an article of which I was the sole author has been the cause of concern to some people including members of our Executive Board. The article in question dealt with a recent arbitration decision.
The specific concerns that have been brought to my attention are:
- where the article is in part editorial that some of the language used was intemperate; and
- that the opinions expressed inclusively using “we” would be construed as being the opinions of the AAPS Executive Board rather than as my personal opinions.
I would like to take this opportunity to clarify that I was the sole author of the article and any editorial opinions expressed in it are mine alone. At the same time I would like to apologize to anyone who may have been offended by the tone of the article. AAPS has always done its best to work collaboratively to resolve issues and will continue to do so on this and other matters in future.
Regards
David
