Houston hospital halts liver and kidney transplants after learning a doctor manipulated records
Patients were not able to receive organ donations because the altered records "effectively inactivated the candidates on the liver transplant waiting list," Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center said in a statement.
I’ve seen this elsewhere. He was juking his stats by blocking people with challenging circumstances. One example was an entry for a 300lbs baby. He could then operate only on people where success was more certain and have awesome stats.
That's somehow worse than every possibility I imagined.
I've read TFA, and it doesn't seem to say why or in what way the records were altered?
Was the doctor deliberately trying to get people excluded from the program? or doing something else that was caught by the system so it flagged their records as invalid?
