Unwanted medical opinion

From The Herald (here):
"Dr Mary Church, joint chairman of the Scottish GPs Committee, said: "Walking would not have been the reason for the suspected heart attack and the news should certainly not put men around his age off hillwalking."Without knowing his medical history, I imagine Mr Cook could have gone at any time enjoying any number of pursuits."

As Dr Church admits she is not aware of Mr Cook's medical history, perhaps she should refrain from offering a medical opinion on his case and stick to generalities?
