The embattled chief of STAT MedEvac resigned last week, one month after officials at the air ambulance service said they were investigating his business practices.
The work of James F. Bothwell will remain under investigation, John Chamberlin, a STAT MedEvac spokesman, said Monday.
The above extract is from a Pittsburg newspaper from a couple of years ago. One of the allegations was that he was giving "commission" payments to emergency services who called out his EMS helicopters in preference to others which might have been closer to the patient/casualty.
Is this sort of practice common in the US and does anyone know what happened to the individual in question?
