Dr. Michael Brown, famed Houston hand surgeon, loses license after positive drug test.
In other bizarre and frightening medical news:
The parents of a teenager who died after receiving a a kidney infected with rabies have filed a lawsuit in East Texas against those involved in the transplant, including a Dallas hospital.
If that's not enough:
The family of William Beed, Jr., the organ donor whose rabies-infected organs led to the deaths of four people says a person's social or criminal troubles shouldn't be a factor in organ donation.
The donor's relatives, who are not defendants in the case, said they were hurt by the disclosure of personal information about their son that they feel was irrelevant to the issue of whether medical personnel were negligent in the re-use of his organs.
"Most medical experts would agree that William Beed Jr. and the organ
recipients died from rabies, a disease that had nothing to do with a poor
sociological background," Matt Soyars, an attorney for the family, said in a
written statement.
