Barry Shandling's point is well taken, but CMAJ can publish only the information that it receives. In the case of Dr. Farmer,1 staff compiled the notice from information garnered from the CMA's Membership Department and the Canadian Medical Directory. No additional information was received from readers prior to publication. Every Deaths page includes a request for submissions about deceased colleagues. We encourage readers to act upon it.
