THANK YOU Dr. Robert Caplan for your integrity, honesty and compassion in appropriately addressing an adverse event. You treated this family as you would want to be treated. You are the perfect example of a true physician. Hopefully, transparency in medicine will be the way of the future. I applaud you!
