Several editorial errors have occurred in recent obituaries. In Sir Anthony Dawson’s obituary (29 November 1997, p 1470) we wrongly said that he was “almost the first non-Barts man to be appointed a consultant there.” In Dr Frizelle’s obituary (17 January, p 235) we should have said that he was known as “Friz” [not “Fritz”]. In Dr June Margaret Fletcher’s obituary (14 February, p 558) her name was wrongly given as Jane. In Dr Lewis’s obituary (28 February, p 709) we wrongly gave her husband’s name as Tim—it is in fact Tom. In Dr Wilkinson’s obituary (7 March, p 783) we wrongly said that he was a member of the Royal College of Physicians.
