Summary Paragraph
The article A Small Indiana Town Scarred by Trusted Doctor by Julie Creswell
tells how a community came to file hundreds of lawsuits due to unnecessary
medical procedures. Debra Davidson was watching her local television. Suddenly, a
segment on her doctor popped up in the screen. Dr. Arvind Ghandi was being sued
by several people. He was accused of unnecessary cardiovascular operations. Mrs.
Davidson is now part of 293 suing patients treated by Dr. Ghandi. There are many
medical program investigations on the situation. Unfortunately, this is a problem
that is becoming more common since cardiology is one of the most paid medical
areas.
