Subsequently, he gave up asking them to attend, gend refused to do so.
- r. DELGADO also made th following revelation:
"It was like this-at m No last place of employment g

10 been notified of this possible wrongdoing.) When asked if the alleged attendees were aware that their names were being listed on the minutes of the non existent RSC meetings, Dr. DELGADO answered, "Probably not. Maybe not.
I'm not sure." Dr. DELGADO attempted to mitigate this apparent ~ violation by He explaining that although the fonn was wrong, the substance was right.
stated that he was e one-man comittee and that he did oversee the rih Nuclear Medicine Departme,nt and perform the tasks listed in the RSC minutes he produced.
When asked why he continued to list names of people at a non-existent meeting.
Dr. DELGADO said, "Well, it was either that or cancel the whole program.".
Dr. DELGADO acknowledged that when he was confronted "last week" by REINHARDT, the AHA of MMH, he readily admitted to REINHARDT that he had been falsifying the minutes.
Dr. DELGADO claimed that one of the secretaries who typed the RSC minutes, told him that someone (nfi) on the distribution list did not want to be copied. When asked if any of the distributees of RSC minutes ever made that statement directly to him, he indicated that they hou not.
Dr. DELGADO was specifically asked if one of his partners in Sussex Radiology, P.A., the HMH radiology group, Dr. STRAUSS, knew that no RSC meetings were being held and that his name was being used on the falsified document.- Dr. DELGADO responded, "I would think so.
I also think he got copies of the report."
Dr. DELGADO admitted that when WURTZ conducted an inspection at MMH on behalf of the NRC in December 1986, he provided a copy of the RSC minutes to WURTZ for review even though he knew the documents were false. When asked if he told WURTZ that the documents were false, Dr. DELGADO replied, "No.
That would be like opening up a can of worms."
After being apprised of the provisions of 18 U.S.C.1001 (False Statements).
Dr. DELGADO was asked, "Did you actually do the audits that you say you have done?" He responded, "Yes.
I checked things.
I conducted an audit using a checklist." Dr. DELGADO was asked if he ever requested the previous hospital administrators to attend his meetings, specifically Joseph AHLSCHIER and Jeffrey M. JUDD.
Dr. DELGADO responded, "I did not specifically ask anyone to attend meetings at this hospital in fifteen ears.
I scheduled them and ' ' b'cb notified them bu( no one ever showed up.
Dr. DELGADO acknowledged that Dr. STRAUSS had been appointed the new RSO following his suspension.
He was again asked if Dr. STRAUSS specifically knew -
l his name was being used on the falsified RSC minutes. Dr..DELGADO responded, "I know Dr. Strauss knew his name was being used and that he knew no meetings l
were taking place." When asked if it ever bothered him that he was falsifying such documents, Dr. DELGADO replied, " hot really." When asked if it ever crossed his mind that he was doing something wrong, he said, "Yes, sure it did."
