Monday, August 26, 2002The surgeon readily admits that last month he began advising patients at the top of the waiting list that the staffing and support for his program were so thin they presented a risk to patients undergoing transplant surgery. He said he offered to help patients transfer to doctors at Boston area hospitals, and three began the process. But he said he only began offering the advice after hospital officials dragged their feet in hiring a replacement for another transplant surgeon who left in April. The hospital says he wouldn't step down and let someone else be in charge. Whatever the reason, the hospital seems to have problems keeping surgeons on staff, which suggests the real problem probably lies with the hospital adminstration, rather than the surgeon. posted by Sydney on 8/26/2002 07:08:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
