Letter: It wasn’t Kevin Lewis

On November 4, 2016, you published a letter which was entitled ‘mystery letter deplores locum apathy’ and it was attributed to an author whose name was withheld.

As I have been asked by numerous friends and colleagues over the past week whether I had anything to do with the letter, I have to make it quite plain to the entire profession, including past colleagues of mine on the disciplinary committee and council of the GOC, fellow past presidents of the College of Optometrists, fellow members of Essex LOC, the City University where I was a visiting clinician for several years and fellow independent owner optometrists that I had absolutely nothing to do with writing this obvious soapbox rant.
