Posted Oct 23 2008 9:03pm

This is old news, I only noted it because someone at BIDMC was reading my blog today and I followed a backlink.

T he state Department of Public Health is defending its decision to clear Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center of giving poor care to a plastic surgery patient despite the fact that the department did not interview several key witnesses to the surgical episode, which led to the firing of a prominent doctor.

Loren J. Borud, 44, was fired after he allegedly nodded off during a June 27 liposuction operation, then abruptly departed midway through the procedure, leaving the patient in the hands of a less-experienced surgeon and falsifying post-operative documents.
