Citizens Seek to
Reinstate Doctor
Dr. Robert Kingsley Graham,
Palmerston physician, who has
been barred from practising at
the Palmerston General Hospi
• tal for several months, is be-
ing strongly supported by a
group of citizens in that com-
munity. A four -man commit-
tee which claims to represent
a majority of citizens, seeks to
influence the Ontario College
• of Physicians and Surgeons
against revokation of Dr. Gra-
ham's license to practice,
The doctor was found, by a
coroner's jury, to have com-
mitted errors during an opera-
tion on one of his patients last
May. An autopsy showed that
a surgical clamp had been left
in the abdominal cavity, but
found that death was actually
caused by other sources. Peri-
tonitis developed when a duct
from the gall bladder was left
▪ open, according to the evi-
dence submitted to the jury,
The board of the Palmerston
Hospital refused the privileges
of practice in that institution to
Dr, Graham when the clamp
incident arose and recently
e voted to continue his exclusion,
Kenneth Leary, chairman of
the citizens' committee states
that most members of the hos-
pital board are in favor of re-
instating Dr. Graham, but will
not act in opposition to the hos-
% pital's medical advisory board.
