The first health system to settle was not even named as a defendant in the lawsuits focusing national attention on the charity practices of community hospitals. North Mississippi Health Services, a six-hospital, 736-bed not-for-profit system in Tupelo, settled before Richard Scruggs’ Oxford, Miss.-based law firm filed suit but spent several months negotiating the agreement. Scruggs’ firm, famous for its tobacco litigation, launched the wave of national lawsuits.

that’s sure odd, isn’t it?
