- Beads were only
judgment error’

WINNIPEG (CP) — A
doctor who sewed ‘colored
beads to the sutures of an
Indian patient was not being
racist but made an errot in
judgement, says former Su-.
preme Court Justice Emmett
Hall.

Ina 15-page report to St,
Boniface hospital board. of -
directors, Hall said pulmon-
ary aurgeon Dr. John Tes-
key, 33, hoped his actions
would have some therapeutic
value, and please his 52-year
a ‘patient, Elsie Miles of the

ate northern Manitoba

; unity of Shamattawa.
all said Teskey did ‘not
perform his beadowrk “as a
Fe or. laughing matter, or as
act of racism,” or to

eflate her.
ut ha said even the best
of motives cannot’ excuse
what was done without Miles’
* knowledge and consent.

Hall said that after waking

from surgery for the removal -

of a benign lung lesion, Miles
suffered “grief and a feeling
that she had been insulted
and humiliated.” -
‘RACIST,
IRRESPONSIBLE’
Tho incident received in-
ternational attention . after
being made public last month -
by the Concerned’ Native
Citizens’ Group, which de-
nounced it as racist, bigoted
and irresponsible. .
, ‘Holl made no specific ree-
ommendations in his report,
but endorsed some sugges-
tions of the Four’ Nations
Confederacy, which repre-
sonts. Manitoks Indians, *
‘These inchide a’: native
awareness program among
staff and bolstered. inter-
preter ‘services, both . of
which the hospital has beguii
to implement. Fe

- Hall/rejected the confed-
eracy's recommendation the
hospital board discipline
those employees involved in

. the incident.

“Dr.. Teskey has not es-
caped unharmed,” said Hall,
adding the physician's hos-
pital privileges should not be
revoked.

“He has been exposed to
media and other: criticism
that will without quéstion af-
fect and undoubtedly harm
his professional standing in
the community.” .

MUST BE CERTAIN

Hall, who interviewed
more.than 20 people before
issuing his report Friday,
said Teskey had an obligation
“to be certain that Mrs. Miles.
knew what he proposed to do
and that she fully assented to
it being done.”

“Nor is the hospital free of
‘responsibility in this regard, A
Hall added,

“Citing the imporiatice the
Supreme Court’ of: Canada
has attached to medical rec-
ords, he noted “serious omis-
sions” in the records of the
time Miles spent on the hos-
pital's surgical floor, ,

Hall criticized media cov-
erage of the incident, saying
reports carried as far away
as Britain contained -“errors

of fact which distorted tho

gravity of the occurence.”

St.’ Boniface Hospital has
instituted x policy requiring
physicians to obtain written
, consultation ‘from an appro:
priate colleague and notify’ a
department head before em:
barking on unusual. treat-
ments, gestures and oper-
ative procedures “that. may
lead to negative conse,
quences.”
