Putnam General Hospital suspended the privileges of Dr. John
Anderson King in June. It was not the first time King has run into
controversy. King was fired from a hospital in Oklahoma City and
arrested on misdemeanor charges of illegally removing logbooks from
the operating room at Jackson County Hospital in Marianna, Fla. in
1999.
King paid settlements in two medical malpractice cases, one in
April 1994 and the other in July 2000, according to New York Board of
Medicine records.
A $550,000 settlement in 1994 went to a 52-year-old woman who
became a paraplegic after receiving spinal anesthesia at Walker
Regional Medical Center in Jasper, Ala., in January 1989. King paid
$95,000 of the total.
