Testimony Could Shake Up Tissue Transplant Industry
The Myrtle Beach Sun News reports that a former oral surgeon is poised to give testimony that could shake up the tissue transplant industry, whose members include several public companies. The oral surgeon, who is the former owner of Biomedical Tissue Services, is accused of cutting up body parts plundered from funeral homes in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and selling them to tissue processors. He has agreed to testify about the tissue processing companies were his customers. Hundreds of lawsuits are pending against the tissue processors, who disclaim knowledge of how the tissue was obtained. Processed tissue is utilized in a variety of surgical procedures. Allegedly among the dismembered bodies was the one of Alistair Cooke, who hosted "Masterpiece Theater," according to the Sun News.





Does anyone know of any new names/OPOs being associated with this scandal or the Donor Referral Services ( Philip Guyett ) in Raleigh NC? My doctors in NC claim to have no knowledge of either situation. Rather odd wouldn't you say? Karen
