Eleazar Lawson, the medical director of Multnomah County’s jails, has been reprimanded by the Oregon Medical Board and ordered to pay a $6,500 fine following an investigation into allegations of medical malpractice while working previously as a surgeon.
As WW has previously reported, the county hired Lawson last August despite the fact that he was currently under investigation by the board for his treatment of two patients while at his previous job at Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center.
