CHARLESTON (AP) - The recent
high-level shake-up at the Veterans
Administration Hospital was the
result of improper supervision of
student doctors performing surgery,
the Post-Courier reported in a
copyright story.
The paper quotes hospital sources
as saying the problem came to a head
in the case of Hubert Gaddy, who was
paralyzed from the waist down during
minor back surgery in December
1981.
The paper quotes sources as saying
the surgery was performed by a
Medical University of South Carolina
resident - a doctor-in-training who had
little experience in the procedure.
The paper said Dr. Joseph D. An
sley, VA Hospital chief of surgery
since August 1980, was fired last
month while Dr. Michael G.

(AP) ? The sound and the fury over
state Senate reapportionment begins
in the Legislature's upper chamber
this week, and some senators say
single-member districts are almost
certain to result.
That convoluted and sometimes
boring process often referred to by
the innocuous title, "Remap," in
volves tearing constituencies from
veteran senators and slicing citizens
out of their native counties.
It also involves that most sensitive
of political issues - wrestling away
power held by the white establish
mem in DiacK majority areas. The
Senate has been all white for decades,
and reapportionment is expected to
pave the way for the first black state
senator since 1888.
No one more clearly understands
what is happening than Sen. Frank
McGill. Under the single-member
district plan endorsed Tuesday by the

Weidener, Jr., also resigned in early
January.
Virginia Helverson, operating room
supervisor at the VA Hospital from
1966 through 1977, told the paper she
complained about the treatment of
veteran patients from the time the
hospital opened.
She said residents were performing
major surgery without the super
vision of trained surgeons and that
even undergraduate medical students
were performing operations with only
residents supervising.
SHE SAID THAT in some cases, the
only assistants who scrubbed were
medical students, dental residents
and even a physician's assistant
student.
Fred Hoefer, current director of the
VA hospital, said the hospital policy
on surgery states that during training

more than 20 years, has served on
Kingstree town council, as mayor of
Kingstree and as a House
representative.
He entered the Senate in 1977 and
knows he's in political trouble with
the new plan.
"If we could have waited one more
week before it was reported out of the
Judiciary Committee, a lot of things
could have been worked out where
debate would not have been so
lengthy," said McGill. But he thinks

He says ihe plan could redistrict
him out of a job, but he feels that he's
built up enough support throughout
the county to have a chance in a
majority black district.
Mcuui isn't the only senator who
could face trouble with the new plan.
Sen. Paul Cantrell, D-Charleston, and
Sen. Arthur Ravenel, R-Charleston,
would both be in the same Charleston
County district if the proposal passes.

residents fall into five levels of in
creasing responsibility.
He said the attending surgeon must
decide the capabilities of each
resident and should at least be
available in the hospital to give
assistance during surgery.
The paper said Helverson's claims
were corroborated by several other
VA employees and retirees.
Helverson said sh6 compiled
records showing that during the first
six months of 1975, there was no at
tending physician present at any time
on 95 percent of general surgery and
100 percent of orthopedic and
ophtalmology surgery.
The Post-Courier reported that
while letters from the hospital to
inquiries from those t >ups did not
deny Helverson's char^ ^s, the letters
said the problems had L jen corrected.

sen. Marion Gressette, D-Calhoun,
who would be in a district 55 percent

district plan. However, one senator
suggested that a plan capable of
defeating a re-election bid by the
Senate's president pro tempore
wouldn't have made it out of the
Judiciary Committee.
Gressette has made several
speeches against cutting county lines
as the Senate warmed to the debate,
but several senators say they don't
see the support for a prolonged
filibuster against single-member
districts. Gressette's subcommittee
proposed a combination multi

would have avoided cutting county
lines.
