Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 3, 2005 -- Public Interest Watch (PIW) (www.publicinterestwatch.org)has just called its attention to a video which it believes is seemingly contradictory to testimony in sworn depositions presented in pending West Virginia medical malpractice lawsuits (Putnam Circuit Court, West Virginia). The video can be viewed at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ai8T8mhCGuA

The link was published August 1 in the West Virginia Record (www.wvrecord.com). According to the article, Dr. John King was suspended in May 2003 by Putnam General.

Lawsuit mills like what it appears we may have here are a major reason this state has a reputation as a 'judicial hellhole."
