Emergency Physician Wins $26M in Wrongful Termination Suit


email article
NPR's Kansas City affiliate.
In 2018, Brovont filed a suit claiming he was fired after raising concerns about staffing issues at Overland Park Regional Medical Center in Kansas. Brovont repeatedly sounded the alarm that EmCare staffed only one physician on the night shift to cover both the regular and the pediatric emergency department at the hospital, which is owned by HCA Healthcare.
A jury awarded Brovont $29 million in October 2018, which included almost $3 million in economic damages, $6 million in pain and suffering, and $10 million in punitive damages against each of the defendants, KS-I Medical Services and MO-I Medical Services (both are EmCare subsidiaries, the former in Kansas and the other in neighboring Missouri).

Dr. David Brown to Lead Cooley Dickinson Health Care as Interim President, CEO


523
NORTHAMPTON — Dr. David Brown has begun serving as the interim president and CEO at Cooley Dickinson Health Care. Brown steps in to lead the organization after Joanne Marqusee announced her resignation in January following seven years of service to Cooley Dickinson.
Brown, chief of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), will serve in an interim capacity while a search is conducted for a permanent president and CEO. The search process will be aligned with the Mass General Brigham United Against Racism priority and will include a diverse search committee and slate of candidates for consideration.
“We are so fortunate that Dr. Brown has enthusiastically agreed to serve as interim president and CEO,” said Fraser Beede, chair of the Cooley Dickinson Health Care board of trustees. “Dr. Brown’s personal and professional connections to Cooley Dickinson, along with his leadership experience and position at the MGH, offer Cooley Dickinson an extremely capable, respected leader during the transition.”

No Evidence That Doctor Group in Viral Video Got Near COVID 'Front Lines'


This story was originally published on July 29, 2020. As part of MedPage Today's
review of the past year's top stories, we are republishing it along with an update on the group's activity since.
The latest viral video promoting COVID-19 misinformation features a newly formed group called America's Frontline Doctors. About 10 physicians, dressed in white coats with an embroidered America's Frontline Doctors logo, spoke for 45 minutes in front of the Supreme Court on Monday on a range of COVID-19 talking points, from hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) being curative to the mental health effects of lockdown outweighing the toll of the virus itself.
But none of the most vocal members have practices that would place them on the actual front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some don't currently practice at all.

Tennessee Hospitals Are Disturbingly Close To Their Breaking Point


Ambulances fill the loading area at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. The hospital has tried to adjust to the surge of new infections by dedicating three floors for treatment of COVID-19 patients, and creating two COVID-only intensive care units for the most seriously ill. Still, the hospital has had to deny patient-transfer requests from smaller hospitals.

COVID-19 is hitting a handful states harder than anywhere else — California, Oklahoma, Texas and Tennessee. And in Tennessee, hospitals are having to improvise, as nearly 3,000 people are hospitalized for COVID-19 and treatment is underway for far more COVID patients than ever thought possible.
