休斯顿移植外科医生John Stevenson Bynon Jr.博士被控5项联邦指控,指控他伪造2023年3月至2024年3月期间的医疗记录,使5名病人没有资格进行肝脏移植。 Dr. John Stevenson Bynon Jr., a Houston transplant surgeon, was indicted on five federal charges for allegedly falsifying medical records between March 2023 and March 2024 to make five patients ineligible for liver transplants. 检察官说,这些行动不向病人和医疗队透露,阻止他们接触捐赠器官,并造成至少3名病人死亡。 Prosecutors say the actions, which went undisclosed to patients and medical teams, blocked access to donor organs and contributed to the deaths of at least three patients. Bynon, 纪念Hermann保健系统前主任, 表示不认罪, 并坚持他的行动是合法的。 Bynon, former director at Memorial Hermann Health System, pleaded not guilty and maintains his actions were lawful. 该医院于2024年暂时关闭了移植方案,并于2025年被器官采购和移植网络置于“状况不佳”状态。 The hospital temporarily shut down its transplant programs in 2024 and was placed in “not in good standing” by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network in 2025. 一些家庭提起了民事诉讼。 Several families have filed civil lawsuits. 如果被定罪,Bynon将面临最高5年的监禁,根据每个罪状。 If convicted, Bynon faces up to five years in prison per count.
