Who are Brady and Perez?
Dr. Luther W. Brady is the Oncologist who reviewed Dr. Parker Griffith’s work in his “Report to the Board of Trustees of the Huntsville Hospital Relative to the Program in Radiation Oncology at the Huntsville Hospital”, dated 17 and 18 November 1987.
Dr. Carlos Perez wrote the “Report on Radiation Therapy at Huntsville Hospital”, dated 9 August 1988.
Dr. Brady and Dr. Perez also wrote the book on Radiation Oncology: Perez and Brady’s Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology.
Here are highlights from Brady’s biography:
Luther W. Brady, M.D., one of the world’s foremost oncologists…
No one in the specialty of radiation oncology had had the breadth and depth of involvement as Dr. Brady. During his career, he has served as President of every major professional society related to the field. He is a Fellow of the American College of Radiology and a Fellow of the American College of Radiation Oncology. He has been a member of the American College of Radiology Board of Chancellors, Chairman of the Commission on Radiation Oncology, and has served on numerous College committees. As well, he was Chairman of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, a nationwide consortium to evaluate forms of cancer treatment. From 1991 to 1993, he served as appointed Chairman of the Radiation Oncology Committee for ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education).
Here’s an introduction to Dr. Perez:
Carlos A. Perez is an internationally recognized specialist is radiation oncology who has made important contributions to the clinical management of patients, especially those with gynecologic tumors and carcinoma of the prostate and of the breast.
I’m thinking that Dr. Brady and Dr. Perez are well-qualified to evaluate Parker Griffith…
Dale Jackson of WVNN has the Reports in a PDF file available here.
So what you’re telling us is that Parker Griffith was giving his patients extended and unnecessary treatments. I see the notation in the PDF “More visits = More money.” If that was the purpose, Dr. Griffith’s medical ethics are simply unconscionable, and that should be reflected in the public record.
