HCA's King-Sized Screw-up
Category: The Latest Baddest
HCA needs to revise its background check procedures.
Suing Putnam General and John Anderson King
The people who are suing the former Putnam General Hospital packed a courtroom Monday in Putnam County, finally getting their cases before a jury.It's the first of many civil trials involving the hiring of doctor John King and his work at the former Putnam General.
We already know the allegations that doctor king botched more than a hundred orthopedic surgeries at the hospital when it was owned by HCA.
The question in this first trial, did the hospital do enough to check King's background, before the doctor got temporary privileges to begin doing surgery.
The company that put King to work in Putnam County is on trial, the allegation that HCA and Putnam General rushed to get King operating privileges, despite serious flaws and omissions on his application.
And, wouldn't you think that by, say, the 25th botched surgery HCA would have gotten a whiff of a problem?
