'Records altered’
PA Auckland Dr Herbert Green, the man at the centre of the cervical cancer inquiry, several times changed diagnoses with which he did not agree, the inquiry was told yesterday. Dr Jock McLean, pathologist in charge at National Women’s Hospital since IM2, was being cross-examined by Dr Rodney
Harrison, counsel for authors of the “Metro” magazine article which sparked the inquiry. Dr McLean said that about six times Dr Green altered histological records. Dr Green had slides sent to his room and examined them. If he disagreed with Dr McLean’s diagnosis he deleted it and inserted his own.
