Cardiologist sues state over license after death ruling
Frankfort doctor Lance Wilson, suspended after a Sept 30 1998 death at Olympia Fields Osteopathic Medical Center, sues Cook County and state regulators for civil rights violations. He seeks 480 million in compensatory and punitive damages, arguing officials wrongfully revoked his license amid a homicide ruling by a deputy medical examiner. He contends the case raises issues of a terminally ill patient’s right to die with dignity and a doctor’s duty to relieve suffering.
