Doctor Cleared of Wrongdoing in Child's Death
By: Fox S.A. Staff

A jury ruled that the doctor of a toddler who died from getting too much morphine after a dental procedure is not at fault.

The family of Maddoux Cordova filed a malpractice suit against the anesthesiologist, Dr. Brian Seastrunk.

In December 2009, the 22-month-old stopped breathing, hours after he was given morphine.

Dr. Brian Seastrunk, an anesthesiologist, ordered a nurse to give Cordova morphine for pain.

A jury found that Seastrunk was not responsible, but did find the surgical center negligent.

George Brin, Dr. Seastrunk's attorney said, "It's a doctors worst nightmare to lose a patient and to be accused of being the cause of that is very difficult to deal with."

 The Cordova family and the hospital had already settled before trial.  Doctor Cleared of Wrongdoing in Child's Death

High winds derail 47 BNSF cars in Texas Panhandle
June 18, 2013 15:53 GMT

FRIONA, Texas (AP) -- A rail line in the Texas Panhandle has reopened after storms packing winds strong enough to form a tornado overturned more than 40 BNSF Railway cars.

BNSF spokesman Joe Faust said Tuesday that nobody was hurt in the derailment between Friona (free-OHN'-uh) and Summerfield.

Faust says 47 cars that were empty or carrying various freight derailed before dawn Monday. He says 42 cars ended up on their sides. No cargo spilled on the 71-car train traveling from Clovis, N.M., to Amarillo.

The National Weather Service in Lubbock estimates winds gusted up to 100 mph during the derailment. Forecaster John Lipe (lype) says sometimes the outflow from thunderstorms can produce such winds. EF1 tornadoes carry winds from 86 mph to 110 mph.

Fort Worth-based BNSF reopened the line around midnight Monday.
