Medicalnewstoday.com's Standards of Excellence

I wish to thank the editors of medGadget for living-up to high standards of reporting and practicing responsible journalsm.

Had I not, by mere chance and luck, stumbled across your article - "MedicalNewsToday.com's Standards of Excellence (Society; 19 September, 2005), the fact that my quote in a recent press release issued by CeMines, Inc. had been mis-represented, would have gone unnoticed.

You have just earned a new customer. I am thankful for medGadget's Standards of Excellence....!

Warmest Regards,

To the Editor of medGadget,

Subsequent to my intital post after reading this article, I contacted the Editor of MedicalNewsToday.com and raised several concerns.

I am following-up to let you know that the Editor of MedicalNewsToday contacted me immediately upon posting my comments. The editor and publication staff were very professional. They immediately retracted the first article and printed a copy of the original CeMines press release.

For your readers, I fell it was important they know that it appears this was simply an over zealous journalist who did not completely understand the magnitude of their words and possible implications.

The issue has been resolved and CeMines is very pleased with the outcome. Again, I thank medGadget for their diligence.

Warmest Regards,

Roger Attick
President and CEO
CeMines, Inc.

Mr Attick,

Thank you for your kind words. Considering the ease of publishing on the internet these days, it is a common occurence to see people writing beyond their sphere of knowledge and responsibility. We just hope you were not troubled by the representations made, and can continue about your business without hindrance.

Best of luck
