It is a story of an 18 year-old girl who entered New York Hospital on March 4, 1984, accompanied by her parents. According to her father, she had an earache and a fever. Eight hours later she was dead, and her father blamed the hospital and her doctors for her death. A prominent journalist, he fed the story to the media, which accepted his version of her death. He failed to tell them that his daughter was on cocaine. The correct version of the details leading to her death has not been published until my article appeared.
