MONCTON, N.B. - The elderly New Brunswick pathologist whose laboratory work is the subject of a massive investigation for errors says he hopes to be back on the job soon.
Dr. Rajgopal Menon, 73, has told the public inquiry examining pathology problems in Miramichi, N.B., he is not allowed to practise until he gets remedial training.
Menon says the College of Physicians and Surgeons suspended his licence last year after a review of several complaints concerning the accuracy of his work.
The college later reinstated Menon's licence, but told him he can't practise until he gets training and convinces the college he is competent to return to a laboratory.
Menon says he is having difficulty finding a university in Canada that will re-train him and he suspects that is partly because of all the publicity surrounding his case.
But he says he plans to keep get trying because he believes his working life is not yet over.
