Hospital Sterilization Dispute Sparks Move for New Facility
In Brownsville Mercy Hospital officials on Friday night voiced hope that a dispute over sterilizing a patient and the potential removal of Dr. J M Stephens would not spur a new hospital. Stephens said he would report for a physical next week and expected induction soon. He noted broad interest in a non sectarian hospital and described the incident as avoidable. The hospital statement explained elective sterilization requires medical justification and approval from the hospital's executive committee.
