Medical fax story prompts changes at imaging clinic

With a little

Bishop Logan McMenamie is setting a new course for more than 8,000 Anglicans on Vancouver Island Kevin Laird News staff

When most eight-year-old Scottish boys were fixated on soccer, Logan McMenamie was pondering God. So it’s not much of a stretch to learn that McMenamie, 63, became the 13th bishop of the Anglican Diocese of B.C. earlier this month. But that’s just part of the story. How does a boy who grew up in the presbyterian-based Congregational Church of Scotland end up the spiritual leader for thousands of Anglicans from Victoria to Kingcome Inlet? “For me it was a surprise that I ended up in an Anglican church,” McMenamie says from his synod office at Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria. “While I was in (theological) school I never thought I’d be bishop. I never committed to that idea.” Those around him thought otherwise. McMenamie says his father saw him as quite spiritual in nature from an early age. His only question now is why his son became an Anglican. Rev. Canon Sue House, an associate priest at Christ Church Cathedral, says McMenamie always possessed the qualities of a good bishop. “I think the world of Logan,” says House, who has known and worked with McMenamie for almost 30 years on Vancouver Island. “He’ll make an amazing bishop.” PLEASE SEE: Church needs, Page A5

Bishop Logan McMenamie became the 13th bishop of the Anglican Diocese of B.C. earlier this month. He’s ready to take on many of the challenges the church faces.

A Victoria medical imaging clinic is changing its fax number and notifying doctors of privacy rules after a Victoria man received hundreds of private medical imaging requests to his home fax machine in error. After the News exclusively told David Mason's story last week, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner followed up with both Mason and the intended receiving clinic, whose fax number differed from Mason's by one digit. “The clinic has decided to change its fax number,” said Cara McGregor, privacy commissioner spokesperson. The new fax number, along with privacy guidelines for faxing and emailing personal information, is being distributed by the clinic to all relevant physician offices, McGregor said. The medical imaging clinic, CML Healthcare Inc., did not respond to a request for comment. Vancouver-based West Coast Medical Imaging, which purchased CML clinics from an Ontario-based company in February, was unavailable for comment. Mason received more than 200 medical imaging requests to his home fax machine since 2005, thanks to misdials from sending physicians. After his story went public, Mason removed his fax machine for good. dpalmer@vicnews.com
