Doctor Death: How Hospital/Medical School Organizations Enabled Michael Swango
Your paper must rely upon, and properly cite, multiple sources, and some sources are mandatory unless
explicitly waived on a case by case basis by the instructor. All papers must draw upon contemporary accounts
from mainstream* media—this includes major newspapers, news magazines, broadcast and cable networks.
All papers must draw upon articles or books written about the case. All starred cases were the subject of at
least one book, parts of which may also have appeared as magazine or journal articles. In rare cases where a
book proves hard to obtain, communicate with the instructor, who can suggest alternatives.
All “hash-marked” (#) cases have been subject to at least one of the following: Inspector General Reports,
regulatory reports, commission reports, legislative hearings, indictments, special reports by outside counsel
and so on. These authoritative analyses must be referenced in your case analysis. Students assigned a “non-
hash-mark” case must conduct a brief search to see if any such investigations were conducted and, if so,
include the findings in your case analysis.
