SYDNEY:  St Vincent’s Hospital, Darlinghurst, covered up the chemotherapy underdosing of up to 78 patients treated by one doctor – John GRYGIEL – according to a damning government-ordered review that has prompted a public apology from the hospital’s CEO.

The report revealed 30 of the head and neck cancer patients treated “off protocol” with the medication carboplatin by oncologist Dr John GRYGIEL had since died – 23 of them from cancer.

MEAG COMMENT:  The Coroner is required to investigate the 23 deaths, not NSW Health Department.
