In the fall of 1996, FORUM published an article by S. W. Ng, R. Esmail, W. J. Sibbald and G. S. Doig. The title of the article was “Potential savings involved in the purchase of low cost, high volume medical commodities as established from a community hospital survey.” ( Healthcare Management FORUM 1996;9[4]:24–29.) Gordon S. Doig was mistakenly described in the author biography as Gordon S. Doig, DVM, MSc, PhD. At the time of publication, Mr. Doig was in fact a PhD candidate and had not yet achieved his PhD. Mr. Doig's correct academic title (in both 1996 and as of today) is Gordon S. Doig, BSc, DVM, MSc. FORUM apologizes for any inconvenience this error might have caused him.
