Description of the Error and Correction
In the first paragraph of the article, the author mentions that “Pamela Fayerman received a grant of $20,000 from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in 2012 to pursue health journalism research” as part of his introduction to the hypotheses of B.C. pathologist Dr. David Huntsman concerning preventive salpingectomy in women at risk of ovarian cancer. Although the content of Ms. Fayerman’s journalism was not directly the subject of the article, her work should have been acknowledged by citation.
