Non-paygated version from a Houston news source:
The thing I don’t get is WHY? Why would any transplant doctor not want his patients as high up a donation list as they can be?

“It was not clear what could have motivated Dr. Bynon to possibly tamper with the records. Reached by phone on Thursday, he referred questions to UTHealth Houston, which declined to comment.”
He got many people killed… WTAF:
"In recent years, a disproportionate number of Memorial Hermann patients have died while waiting for a liver, data shows. Last year, 14 patients were taken off the center’s waiting list because they either died or became too sick, and its mortality rate for people waiting for a transplant was higher than expected, according to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, a research group.
This year, as of last month, five patients had died or become too sick to receive a liver transplant, while the hospital had performed three transplants, records show. A hospital spokeswoman said the center treated patients who were more severely ill than average."
The only thing I can think of is he wanted someone to move up, but was scared to access their file. If you access someone’s file, your name is on their record. Knock out the people in front of them and you don’t get caught
Or the Dr Strange option…
He didn’t want the sickest patients; as they could bring down his stats
$5 says it’s a race thing.
Though it might not be. It might also be a “the poors” thing. Or some other bigoted discrimination.
Can you get a liver if you were an alcoholic? Maybe he’s trying to punish them? Wild speculation here.
