I was surprised that RTE's report on last night's 9:00 news on the death of the Irish woman after plastic surgery in New York made no comment on the part that some Irish newspapers may have played in directing the unfortunate woman, Kay Cregan, towards Dr. Michael Sachs.
RTE's report noted that the New York Medical Examiner is investigating and that "since her death it has emerged that the surgeon has a history of malpractice claims against him". That last phrase is true, but RTE could have indicated that this fact could have emerged before her death. In fact, it could have emerged around the time the Sunday Independent decided to do a big feature on Dr. Sachs
I don't think this is just a matter of RTE scoring some points at the expense of the Sunday Independent. There is a public interest in asking the Sunday Independent about their efforts to check on the background of Dr. Sachs. So far, only the NY Times seems to be asking the questions.
