Tuesday, August 09, 2005St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital's famed medical tower will soon be renamed for a Houston lawyer who has made millions taking the health care industry to trial. The plan to rename the edifice after John O'Quinn in recognition of a $25 million donation by his foundation has infuriated many St. Luke's doctors, who last week began circulating a petition against it and Monday night convened an emergency meeting of the medical executive committee. ....'It offends us to have money we earned - and which he took by suing us - going to name after him a medical building in which we work each day,' says the petition. 'The naming of buildings at the law school or perhaps at a medical liability carrier seems much more appropriate.' O'Quinn made his money with class action suits against such things as breast implants. His firm was also the one reprimanded recently for manufacturing bogus medical diagnoses for silicosis lawsuits. The hospital adminstration has no shame. posted by Sydney on 8/09/2005 09:46:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
