Being able to pay out without admitting guilt should be illegal for companies.
-
YHANK YOU to the whistleblower!! Those surgeons should be in jail!
-
We pay outrageous amounts for healthcare, yet this is the "healthcare" we get. This shit needs to change now.
-
So let me get this straight. As long as you’re rich, no one goes to jail. Just fines
-
So they made $150 million and got fined $15 million. I guess it was worth it then. I’m sure they would do it again. It’s makes a lot of profit for them.

These crooked surgeons need to lose their licenses, get locked up, and sued. This shouldn't be swept under the rug and should not have been settled behind the scenes. These doctors are always going against their oath to do no harm for the sake of their own greed, and need to be held accountable when they get caught because it's the rest of us who suffer under their negligence and malpractices.
-
When greed entered the healthcare system, ethics and do no harm exited. 😒
-
Thank God for honest people.
-
Why do those doctors still have their license?????
-
The patients should be awarded 15 million each
-
This is unconscionable and horrifying. How could they even think about doing something so horrific?
-
15 million to make lawsuit go away.... we're talking about human lives. Shameful.
-
Baylor St. Luke’s Hospital. Stay away from this place.
-
They don’t give two nickels about patients it’s all about the dollar
-
And let’s fire all the hospital CEO’s who undoubtedly pushed the surgeons to overwork “or else”
-
This won't change anything whatsoever. 15 mill is nothing to hospitals.
-
The heart doctors working on patients' hearts who are heartless. Same goes to the hospital who allowed this to happen. Thank you whistle blower.
-
If the US government was indeed serious about fighting fraud and abuse in the system... then these surgeons, as well as all of the medical execs involved... should have their licenses revoked and face criminal charges!!!
-
150 million revenue. Paying 15 million settlement. Thats just the price of business. Not too shabby.
-
I worked with one of the named surgeons in the past, and this really surprises me. I never saw anything less than amazing care and unwavering concern for his patients.
