A doctor wants to random drug-screen the hospital staff:
“It sounds as if he’s accusing all the doctors here of being alcohol or drug addicts, or protecting others who are,” he said.
According to the lawsuit filed Feb. 28 in U.S. District Court, Couch asked for all staff to undergo random drug and alcohol testing in 2002. He claims that one former doctor, not named in the lawsuit, failed to diagnose life threatening conditions, possibly because of “an ongoing problem with substance abuse.”
