I don’t know anything about this. There seems to be only the one article, and no previous articles or follow up anywhere that I can find. I do know that Jeb Bush appointed him chairman of the Florida Medical Examiners Commission. I also know that he is a neuropatholgist as well as a regular pathologist.
