Correction of place of practice: Brampton, not Brantford

I read with interest the editorial in the December 2017 issue, “Dr. Louis Kristal at 100: witness to the evolution of surgery in Canada.”¹ I practised orthopedic surgery in Brampton from 1974 to 2010. I knew Lou well as a GP/anesthesiologist and subsequently as a GP surgical assistant. I enjoyed his discussions with interested physicians in the “Doctor’s Lounge” on Saturday mornings. He was a staunch Liberal, and I was always careful to steer clear of some of the political controversies at the time.

I am pleased to see he has an excellent memory at 100!

Dr. Kristal’s practice in 1974 for 10 years was in Brampton, not Brantford, as the article states.
