Retired Yankton surgeon and patient advocate Lars Aanning has updated a piece Jonathan Ellis wrote on Brookings teen, Brady Folkens who died after misdiagnosis and treatment he received at STAR Academy, a state-operated detention facility.
Aanning and others believe the state and Attorney General Marty Jackley have covered up a negligent homicide or worse.
No bids were received for the stigmatized, now-shuttered facility when offered for sale to the public.
Its predecessor Custer State Hospital has a macabre history of its own.

Recently, there was a story on the actions of the South Dakota Board of Medical and Osteopathic Examiners to revoke the medical license of Dr. Lars Aanning. In my view, the action of the board is both misguided and deeply troubling. I can only speculate it is retribution against a colleague who has not hesitated to criticize the board’s actions in other situations. If that is the case, it represents a serious miscarriage of justice. [LTE]State Senator Stace Nelson has called his experience trying to track down documents in the Folkens case fraught with "BS excuses and obfuscation."
