"Controversy Surrounds Texas Surgeon and Hospital's Liver and Kidney Transplant Programs"

Dr. J. Steve Bynon Jr., a prominent Texas transplant surgeon, is under investigation for allegedly manipulating a government database to make some of his patients ineligible for liver transplants at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston. The hospital abruptly shut down its liver and kidney transplant programs while looking into the allegations, and officials have identified Dr. Bynon as the physician who may have denied patients transplants by changing records.
