Doctor Arrested for Records Tampering
By JARED CHERRYWOOD

Ng General Hospital doctor Reynold Yumin was arrested late Tuesday evening at his home on charged of falsifying patient records to conceal evidence of misconduct and criminal negligence on his part. Yumin has been a biochemical specialist in Greystone's much-vaunted immunology department for approximately six years.

Police detective Tara Millar said that colleagues of Yumin's detected some discrepancies in patient cases for which Yumin offered a consultation, and notified the hospital's administration, who in turn conducted an internal review and subsequently contacted the police.

Hospital spokesman Georgi Stanislav said that the hospital's administration has already turned over all relevant records and testimony to police, and are cooperating with the investigation to the fullest of their ability. "We regret that something like this could occur in our walls, but we are set on making amends as soon as possible, and we are examining policies and procedures to find ways to prevent this type of misconduct in the future," he said.

According to Millar, it is not yet clear whether Yumin's errors or his falsification of records resulted in adverse outcomes for his patients. "That matter is under investigation by an independent panel of medical experts," she said. "Nonetheless, it is very clear that Yumin intentionally and maliciously altered patient records in order to make himself look better."

Yumin was unavailable to speak to the press, but his mother, pulmonologist Rosalinda Hobart, also employed at Greycastle, issued an emphatic denial that Yumin acted in any way inappropriately. "My son is a good man, and a fine doctor," she said. "I am certain that a strenuous clinical review will show that he did absolutely nothing out of the bounds of propriety or ethics."

The Office of Public Health has said that Yumin's license to practice medicine has been temporarily revoked, pending the outcome of his trial.

Joya, Alejo Reconcile

Celebrity-watchers say that pop stars Joya and Alejo Jackson were spotted together Wednesday afternoon with Joya's daughter, Allegra Melody, enjoying what appeared to be a very domestic picnic at Caesura Park. The sighting has sparked inevitable rumours that the pair of musicians are rekindling the romance they ended over a year ago.

 		Adding site:perplexcitysentinel.com to a Google search will let you search the Sentinel.

I searched on reynold OR yumin site:perplexcitysentinel.com and didn't get any hits. Guessing Google hasn't indexed the most recent article, yet.

 		The names we have from Cymbalisty are Lavant and Prenderghast, if I recall correctly.

In this situation, we might be looking at something related to Miranda (who had some form of asthma or respiratory/oxygenation problem) or Karen Moro's father. (Possibly Caine, who made some worrying references about his health in "Joyless" - I emailed him but no response. Hopefully just a cold.)

This could also always be a politically driven plot to discredit said researcher.

What I'm more confused about is the following:

Okay, I can see that Greycastle might be a subhospital inside the larger Ng General (though I may check the map just to see if it's mentioned), but I believe they mean Greycastle in both instances, and not Greystone. (See Sentinel articles here and here.)

 		just to confirm, Greycastle is probably not part of Ng General Hospital.

From the map: "Greycastle Hospital
Specialising in emergency medicine, the Greycastle Hospital employs some of the most cutting-edge diagnostic and fTNI scanning technology in Perplex City." (corner of Open Manifold and Fivebridges)

"Ng General Hospital
One of the three main hospitals in Perplex City. The Ng General Hospital is affiliated with The University and assists in training medical students." (near Centrifuge, off Magine)

Phuah Hospital is the third, seems to be next to the Milamont Theaters on Ascent Lane.

Anyway. I hate seeming discrepancies and name mistakes Razz

...Which one of them has a bed reserved for Kurt? Or do you think that they've all three taken that step, given he gets around the city so much? Razz
