I REFER to your report, “Doc: Unfair to turn sick people away” (The Star, April 13) on claims that several private clinics in Perak had placed notices refusing to treat patients who showed SARS symptoms. 

It quoted Health deputy director-general Datuk Dr Ismail Merican as saying it was unfair for clinics to treat patients in such a manner.
