CA: Porter Ranch gas leak health study hits roadblock after doctor is forced out

 

LADN:

[…] Michael Sawyer, chief executive officer of SCOI, said they gave Nordella a five-week notice that they “no longer needed him” for their urgent care and orthopedic service center. Sawyer called Nordella “essentially an independent contractor” rather than an employee. He said their business relationship ended “for various reasons” but that it had “nothing to do” with the Porter Ranch gas leak study.

“We’re not trying to quash his study; we think it’s a great idea and encourage him to continue to do it,” Sawyer said.

The gas leak that was detected on Oct. 23, 2015 at Southern California Gas Co.’s  Aliso Canyon storage facility spewed more than 100,000 metric tons of potent methane over nearly four months. It prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency, sickened thousands and forced more than 8,300 households in the northern San Fernando Valley to temporarily relocate.
