DR. DAVID MCKALIP SENDS APOLOGY DIRECTLY TO PRESIDENT OBAMAIt's a shame that such a statement is necessary, but c'est la vie. Taking on sensitivity police isn't something many people have the time or will for, especially busy doctors who don't want interference with their work or hospital's reputation.
McKalip apologizes for sending insensitive image via e-mail
St. Petersburg, FL (July 23, 2009) - David McKalip, M.D., brain and spine neurosurgeon of St. Petersburg has never been shy in expressing where he stands regarding President Barack Obama's health-care reform. Despite McKalip's position on health system reform, he sends a sincere apology for a forwarded image of President Obama in an e-mail depicting the president in Papua New Guinean tribal garb with a logo beneath it saying, "Obama Care."
"I genuinely regret the decision I made in passing this e-mail message along. Directly to President Obama, I sincerely apologize for offending him. This was, in no way whatsoever, my intention. The image has nothing to do with my feelings or thoughts on any race or culture. I recognize that this image is offensive and hope that the nation refocuses on assuring all Americans have access to high-quality, affordable health care with no party interfering in the patient-physician relationship. My intention is to focus directly on the issue at hand, which is putting financial and decision-making power into the hands of patients and taking it from government and insurance companies," said McKalip.
The image forwarded was from a long chain of e-mails and not created by McKalip.
