SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A doctor at the Oregon State Hospital claims he was forced to resign after an investigation into a patient death.
Dr. Michael Robinson was under internal investigation for his treatment of a patient who died last year at the psychiatric hospital.
The Statesman Journal reported that Robinson attempted to withdraw his resignation offer but it was rejected by hospital officials, who ordered him to turn in his identification and pick up his final paycheck at the end of July.
Robinson accused state officials of trying to damage his reputation and he denies allegations he failed to provide 42-year-old Moises Perez with adequate medical care before Perez died last October.
