Description

Four years after Amy Lam died in 2016, court records show Dr. Thomas J. Byrne was involved in another incident at Harlem Hospital. A baby was allegedly lacerated down his back and buttocks during a cesarean-section. For the people whose cases were central to Byrne losing his license in New York over 30 years ago, the fact that he is able to practice  in the state again stirs up difficult memories and feelings of anger and betrayal. “They even said he'll never practice medicine again in New York state,” said John Henries, whose son was delivered by Byrne in the 1990s. “That's a lie.” In this episode, we examine what the record shows about New York’s decision to restore Byrne’s medical license. And share a discovery made along the way that may help explain at least one reason he has managed to continue practicing all these years.Listen to our earlier episodes:Episode 1: Wrongful DeathEpisode 2: License RevokedEpisode 3: The GatekeepersEpisode 4: Loopholes
