Anesthesia Management: 14 people charged in indictment for a 2012 deadly meningitis outbreak

by Leave a Comment

Fourteen people have been arrested and charged in connection with the fungal meningitis outbreak that killed 64 people and sickened more than 680 in several states in 2012.

Charges included in the indictment include numerous counts of second-degree murder, racketeering, conspiracy and mail fraud, although not all defendants are accused of each count.

Among the 14 Massachusetts compounding pharmacy employees arrested were three members of the family whose business empire included the pharmacy and the brother-in-law and pharmacy owner, Barry Cadden.

The head pharmacist of the company Glenn Adam Chin was also named in the indictment. He was already arrested in September and charged with one count of mail fraud but the more recent indictment also charges Mr. Chin with racketeering and second-degree murder in seven states.

“Before AE took over the anesthesia department was described by the surgeons as the worst in the history of our hospital. The prior management company was having a cancelled surgery per day. I am happy to report there has not been one since they have taken over the department. Additionally we have seen a 905 reduction if requested preop
lab tests. The anesthesia department is now the very best hospital department in our entire facility.”

“Even though they are physically located 1000 miles away Anesthesia Experts just does not provide great anesthesia coverage they personally engage surgeons to increase their business. Last year my surgical volume rose by 24% and we are currently 50% ahead of last year and all of that growth is organic.”

“While problems are extremely rare when they do occur Anesthesia Experts quickly and professionally implements a solution. Our surgical volume has grown over 100 cases per month and now our GI docs want to perform all of their endoscopies in our hospital instead of their GI lab that they own!”
