This story is a "must read" for anyone following the UT Southwestern and Parkland Hospital residency supervision scandal. In this relatively long article, the Dallas Morning News provides a great deal of new information, not to mention links to the side of the article that provide background information. If it was not before, this story is out in the open, in the mainstream now, and UT Southwestern is going to have to deal with it one way or the other. The last reporter to really take on UT Southwestern was Robert Riggs of Fort Worth's Channel 11. Although Riggs used the Texas Public Information Act to get a great deal of documentation to substantiate his allegations, he lost his job. It is my hope that DMN reporters fare better.
