An excerpt from the press release:
On December 7, 2011, Edwin Chappabitty, Jr., MD, Lawton, Oklahoma, filed a Federal Tort Claims Act lawsuit for monetary damages in the United States Court for the Western District of Oklahoma alleging that officials of the United States Department of Health and Human, Indian Health Service, negligently failed to follow federal laws and regulations governing the conduct of investigations into alleged professional misconduct by physicians employed by the Indian Health Service. Dr. Chappabitty never expected to be accused of leveling racist statements to his patients on May 1, 2008 just four months from the end of his thirty year career in the federal service.
Chappabitty, Comanche/Ft. Sill Apache, retired from the IHS in August 2008 as a naval captain, having come to the service as an officer in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, a uniformed, non-military government agency under the purview of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
