According to court documents filed by St. Peter’s Health, a fired oncologist incorrectly treated a patient for lung cancer for 11 years before it was determined at the time of death they did not have the disease. The hospital’s legal counsel also said that it learned of “alarming narcotic prescribing practices” by Dr. Thomas Weiner, who is contesting his dismissal in court. Weiner’s attorney has refuted the hospital’s claims. Weiner had been with St. Peter’s since 1996.
