THE ABILENE MEDIA CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO REPORT ON LOCAL DOCTORS BEING DISCIPLINED BY THE TEXAS MEDICAL BOARD.

THE ACTION WAS BASED ON ALLEGATIONS THAT DR.

I CONTACTED ABILENE REPORTER NEWS AND ASKED WHY THEY REFUSE TO AIR THIS STORY. THEY DID NOT HAVE A COMMENT AND ENDED THE CALL.

About Me

Abilene, Texas, United States
My name is Gary Reed and I live in Abilene, Texas. In 2007, my mother was in Abilene Regional Medical Center. She and her family had repeatedly instructed the physicians and hospital staff NOT to give a specific drug (procrit)to her as it was the cause of her being there in the first place. However, she was injected with the drug again, sent to CCU, and never recovered. Since then, I have met with numerous other families who have reported similiar experiences with Abilene Regional Medical Center. For one year, I have attempted to dicuss this with ARMC staff and physicians and they have refused. I have also spoken with the attorney for the hospital in Houston, Texas. He admitted there were problems at the hospital and they would be contacting me soon to discuss these issues. It never happened. I will share as much information as possible here. Some I will not share at this time. If you or someone you know has experienced problems with this hospital, please contact me at: gnr99a@hotmail.com
