Kansas surgeon Moran wins bid to pursue defamation suit
The Kansas Supreme Court allowed Dr. Jon F. Moran, former director of the University of Kansas Medical Center heart transplant program, to proceed with a defamation suit against the state, the Medical Center, and others. The court overturned a 1997 dismissal, noting Moran’s evidence was weak but sufficient to go to trial. The case traces to 1994–95 Kansas City Star reports that no transplants occurred and hearts were offered but turned away, impacting Moran’s reputation. Moran left KU to join East Carolina University shortly before stories published.
