Dan Rather's "48 Hours" program will apparently report on more of the same on the 10th or 11th of April. So far, virtually none of the physicians named in any of these cases have been penalized in the slightest. Most are still alive and continue to work without loss of professional status, without censure from the various medical societies or so much as a slap on the wrist. J.D. ++++++++++ $5 million proposed settlement reached in radiation study lawsuit April 3, 1999 Web posted at: 11:59 PM EST (0459 GMT) CINCINNATI (AP) -- Families of 90 cancer patients who allege their relatives were unknowingly subjected to military-sponsored radiation experiments have reached a proposed $5 million settlement, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Saturday. The lawsuit, filed five years ago, alleged terminally ill cancer patients who sought treatment at Cincinnati General Hospital between 1960 and 1971 were given full-body and partial-body doses of radiation so researchers could measure the effects. The facility is now known as University Hospital. The agreement was reached Friday when the last surviving patient from the study agreed to its terms. The suit -- which named the hospital and the federal government among defendants -- contended many of the patients' deaths were hastened by the treatment. Researchers in the 11-year study defended their actions as attempts to cure or ease pain in the earliest days of radiation therapy. The government was included in the suit because the Defense Department paid $651,000 for the test results to learn about the effects of radiation exposure. On Friday, the settlement earned the approval of Donna White Christy, the study's sole survivor, who was treated for cancer at the hospital when she was a child. Robert Newman, an attorney for about 50 of the plaintiffs, said the settlement will amount to about $50,000 for each family. Terms also include an apology from the government and a memorial plaque to be placed on the University of Cincinnati campus listing the patients' names. U.S. District Judge Sandra Beckwith will be asked to sign the agreement on Monday. ********** OBRL News is a product of the non-profit Orgone Biophysical Research Lab Greensprings Research and Educational Center PO Box 1148, Ashland, Oregon 97520 USA http://id.mind.net/community/orgonelab/index.htm [EMAIL PROTECTED] DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
