Future unclear for MD's St. Joseph Medical Center
The Baltimore Sun, December 29, 2011
When a star cardiologist at St. Joseph Medical Center was accused of performing hundreds of unnecessary medical procedures in 2009, it changed the course of the Towson hospital and now raises questions about its future.
