In the article “Telehomecare for patients with multiple chronic illnesses. Pilot study,” which appeared in the January 2008 issue ( Can Fam Physician 2008;54:58–65), the name of one of the authors was misspelled. The correct name is Jennie Humbert, RN(EC), MHSc. The on-line version was corrected ahead of print.

In the letter to the editor entitled “Labour pains,” which appeared in the January 2008 issue ( Can Fam Physician 2008;54:28–9), an error was made in the units provided; 75 mg should have read 75 μg in the following statement: “Having tried many combinations of [intrathecal] drugs, however, my spinal anesthetic of choice for cesarean section is heavy bupivacaine (9 to 10 mg), with morphine (75 μg), and midazolam (2 mg).” Canadian Family Physician apologizes for this error and any confusion it might have caused. The on-line version was corrected ahead of print.

In the article “Complete health checkup for adults. Update on the Preventive Care Checklist Form^®” published in the January 2008 issue ( Can Fam Physician 2008;54:84–8), access to the form was provided through a link to the College of Family Physicians of Canada website. The recommendation to screen or vaccinate women of child-bearing age to prevent congenital rubella syndrome was inadvertently deleted from the female version of the Preventive Care Checklist Form. The female form has been corrected and is available on-line at www.cfpc.ca.
