FIRED for speaking out. Top Canadian ER Doctor Chris Milburn

“After two and a half years as Cape Breton’s top ER doctor, Chris Milburn was fired over the phone.

The call came five days after Milburn joined a CBC radio panel where he was invited to offer his opinion on COVID policies in the province. Specifically, the province’s handling of the third wave and the school reopening plan.

He discussed uncertainty around the COVID vaccine, said there was no scientific basis to shut down schools temporarily across the province in May and implied Dr. Robert Strang had acquired too much power and was unwilling to give it up.

The June 15 call came from Dr. Don Brien, medical executive director of the eastern zone, informing Milburn he was fired from his role as head of emergency medicine for the eastern zone.

“Dr. Brien explained to me that my views were unacceptable for someone in my position,” said Milburn. “I was clearly told that I was fired because of my views.”
