MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
West Virginia hospital settles $13M in malpractice lawsuits
Doctor's license revoked in his home state

September 22, 2008 -- A former West Virginia doctor named in more than 100 medical malpractice lawsuits during his brief stay at a Putnam County hospital can no longer practice medicine in his home state of Alabama.

The Alabama Medical Licensure Commission revoked the doctor's license following complaints from several patients there, including one who spent 26 hours in a coma.

The former Putnam General Hospital hired the surgeon in 2002. His six months there triggered dozens of lawsuits alleging he had misdiagnosed, harmed and even killed patients. The Putnam County lawsuits have resulted in at least $13 million in settlements, so far.
