|
On January 14, 2008, Kentucky psychiatrist William Kearney was relieved of duty with the Louisville Veterans Affairs Medical Center—placed on a 30-day administrative leave—pending further review of his treatment of a soldier Kearney treated who was found dead in his barracks at Fort Knox in September 2007. An autopsy found the soldier (who had been wounded in a roadside bombing in Iraq and arrived at the VA in April 2007) had been dead for hours and might have been unconscious for days prior.1 1 “Psychiatrist: Job lost over soldier's death,” Indianapolis Star, 20 Jan. 2008. |
