Eye Transplant Doctor Suspended In Houston Case
Dr. Donald Moore, who performed a partial eye transplant last April, was suspended by the Harris County Medical Society after a hearing. The Houston Ophthalmological Society had previously suspended him for ophthalmic practice out of standards. The operation occurred at Methodist Hospital where Moore was on staff. The patient, John Madden of Conroe, later said the eye functions and moves well and that Moore did his best. Madden’s wife described the outcome as miraculous, though Madden had no prior vision in that eye. The transplant was reportedly from B. Hickman of Houston, who died of a brain tumor. In a separate matter, State Police in Watertown, NY say Carl E. Hill turned $25,000 into a nickel via Las Vegas dice tables, leading to grand larceny charges. Hill surrendered after disappearing with the funds.
