A Texas cardiologist allegedly approved 63 cardiac scans of one student athlete in roughly 11 seconds, weeks before that teenager collapsed and died of sudden cardiac arrest during basketball practice.
Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment against Dr Jason Finkelstein, 53, of Fort Worth, accusing him of running an $89 million (£68 million) health care fraud scheme that targeted hundreds of thousands of US college athletes with rushed, rubber-stamped heart screenings. Finkelstein pleaded not guilty at a brief court appearance in Florida and faces charges of conspiracy and health care fraud.
