WINFIELD, W.Va (WSAZ) -- Three malpractice lawsuits against a former surgeon have been settled for nearly $2.5 million.

These are the first of 124 lawsuits involving Dr. John King. The lawsuits claim King botched surgeries or otherwise harmed patients during the six months he worked at Putnam General hospital.

There's a hearing later this month to talk about settling nine more of the lawsuits.

I bet those who are against Ketchum think lawsuit abuse is a "Menis" in WV. It's Blankenship.
