Man’s broken tooth leads to open-heart surgery, 7-month ordeal after docs thought he just had the fluA leading pathologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital has been placed on leave after an alleged misdiagnosis led to a patient’s bladder being removed – as well as claims he bullied staff, according to a report.
In one instance, a patient underwent the removal of his bladder – only to have a post-op analysis show a different diagnosis, according to The Washington Post, which cited the sources and the accreditation report. Epstein also denied that there was any conflict of interest by giving second opinions on reports made by his wife, saying he weighed in on such cases “based solely on my objective evaluation of the case.” The nonprofit organization Joint Commission ordered Johns Hopkins to address concerns “regarding a culture of bullying and intimidation in the surgical pathology department.
Investigators received “multiple comments by pathology physicians and residents stating they did not feel comfortable speaking up regarding ‘intimidation’ or ‘bullying’ behavior by a department leader, indicating that they were forced to change diagnoses, issue addendums and defer to the leader’s wishes over several years, thereby potentially leading to harm to patients.”
“It has always been my impression that this discussion was collegial, professional, and undertaken in the interest of patient care,” Epstein wrote.
