Rogue Doctor Forced to Resign!

PCMA STATEMENT

July 24, 2009, For Immediate Release. The Pinellas County Medical Association
(“PCMA”) is aware of the inflammatory email sent by Dr. David McKalip regarding
President Obama and “Obama Care.”
Dr. McKalip’s act has been denounced by the Florida Medical Association. In
response to the Florida Medical Association’s request for an apology, Dr.
McKalip issued a public apology.
Following our awareness of the communication, the PCMA immediately called an
emergency special meeting of its Board of Governors and authorized the release
of this statement.
The Pinellas County Medical Association regrets and is appalled by the
statements and act of Dr. David McKalip. Dr. McKalip acted in poor taste
and on his own accord when preparing and issuing his message, with neither
the knowledge nor approval of the Pinellas County Medical Association or
its Board of Governors. The Pinellas County Medical Association joins with
the Florida Medical Association in denouncing and condemning Dr. McKalip’s
act and his offensive “Obama Care” statements. Dr. McKalip’s act in no way
reflects the opinions of the Pinellas County Medical Association or its
Board of Governors. Dr. McKalip has submitted his resignation as
President- Elect and as a member of the Board of Governors of the Pinellas
County Medical Association, and his resignation has been accepted
