More Patients With Unnecessary Stents From St. Joseph’s Hospital In Baltimore Notified
The nightmare grows larger for patients and administrators at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Baltimore, Md. as an additional 169 cardiac stent patients are notified their stent was unnecessary. Fired physician Mark Midei is the Hopkins trained cardiologist who was inserting stents left and right into the hearts of cardiac patients at St. Joe’s for who knows how long. To date 538 patients have received letters from the hospital advising them that their stent may have been inserted without medical indication, and more letters are expected as a review of all of Dr. Midei procedures continues.
“Leaders of [St. Joseph Medical Center] felt it was in their ethical responsibility to notify these patients to allow them to determine if medical follow-up was appropriate,” the hospital said in a statement to the Baltimore Business Journal. “[St. Joseph's] review has only revealed one doctor involved, and we believe this to be an isolated event.”
Baltimore TV airwaves are flooded with ads from malpractice attorneys recruiting clients who received stents. State and federal investigations are under way. Midei is in an undisclosed secure location.
