A New York Times report is painting a top surgeon in a bad light amid a sudden shutdown of a kidney and liver transplant program at the hospital in the Texas Medical Center.
A damning report on Thursday linked a celebrated Memorial Hermann surgeon to allegations of irregularities that led to the sudden shutdown of the Texas Medical Center hospital's liver and kidney transplant program.
The Times couldn't report on Bynon's alleged motivations, and he referred questions to UTHealth Houston, his employer, which declined to comment. The U.S. Health and Human Services released a statement after the Times report, acknowledging "the severity of this allegation.""At the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, we acknowledge the severity of this allegation. We are working across the Department to address this matter now. We are committed to protecting patient safety and equitable access to organ transplant services for all patients.
According to the Times report, officials said they were contacting those patients to assist them in finding alternative treatment plans or providers.
