Doctor Facing Hearing In Death Of 2 Patients PHOENIX (UPI) — A hearing continued today into whether to revoke the license of a Sunnyshape physician accused of performing intestinal operations that resulted in the deaths of two persons.
Two doctors testified yesterday that the operations performerd by Dr. Kenneth E. Hall, 54, were unnecessary and dangerous.
Hall’s attorney, Tucsonian Lawrence d’Antonio, said his client was the victim of “Monday-morning quarterbacking” and vowed to appeal to Superior Court if the state board of medical examiners revoked the license.
The accusations against Hall involved the deaths of Gwyn Ellis, 34, and
Isabelle Eldridge, 66, both of Phoenix. Ellis, who weighted 310 pounds, died March 9, 1970. Mrs Eldridge died two hours after surgery on July 29, 1969. [...] (Source:
