This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Ontario doctor has been suspended from his job, threatened and had his address shared online after he posted pro-Palestinian views on social media.
Dr. Ben Thomson, a nephrologist at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital, north of Toronto, has been sharing information and opinions on his X social media account, formerly known as Twitter, since brutal attacks by militant group Hamas in Israel on Oct. 7 and the ensuing Israeli bombing of Gaza.
Internal emails seen by CBC News show that the doctor was handed a one-month suspension without pay the next day.
But in a statement to CBC News, Mackenzie Health said that "it is false to suggest Dr. Thomson was suspended for his views," without elaborating.
Thomson's public record with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is also clean, with no complaints, allegations or disciplinary actions listed.
"This included increasing the presence of security officers and restricting access to our hospitals to select entrances for patients and visitors," it wrote in a statement.
The original article contains 1,292 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 88%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I'm disappointed whenever anyone who should know as a writer that 'traffic'. 'mail', and 'email', are already the form used to describe a collection of things, writes as if they don't. They're almost begging to be regarded as not an authority at a time when I expect they'd rather want that.
