Another round in court for former Children's physician accused of inappropriate conduct with patients

UPDATE: Globe reports that Levine is now dead.

The Herald reports on a suit by 30 former patients of Dr. Melvin Levine against him for alleged medical malpractice and sexual abuse and against Children's for allegedly failing to do anything about him.

WBUR posted a copy of the complaint.

Last year, the Massachusetts Appeals Court dismissed a similar case by a single patient against Children's, because the alleged abuse happened between 1967 and 1969, when the state still granted absolute immunity to hospitals against suits over the actions of their physicians.
