On September 11th, 2013, Dr. John Mignano was called as a witness in a trial held at the Massachusetts Superior Court in Boston. In his testimony against a complainant, Dr Mignano knowingly perjured himself in stating the primary reason the complainant had been dismissed from the New England Medical Center’s Department of Radiation Oncology. Dr. Mignano stated that one of his patients “could have lost an eye or his life” due to an incorrect calculation of radiation dosage by the complainant. However, under cross-examination, Dr. Mignano admitted that the document that specified the dosage to be delivered to the patient was missing two signatures by the physics group, one by the complainant and one by the “checker”, and that without both signatures being present no radiation could possibly have been delivered to the patient. Dr. Mignano knew the details of this incident in September-October 2007, as well as the fact that the calculation form was completely invalid, but yet on the witness stand he claimed that his patient “could have lost his eye or his life” due to this so- called calculation “error”. There were a number of additional issues upon which Dr. Mignano perjured himself, but this was the primary one.

Even though my family didn't care for him, I initially thought he was friendly and kindly. After a few treatments I was actually afraid of him and wanted so badly to have an advocate with me during the rest of the treatments. I found him to be a passive-aggressive, angry person who didn't care about the outcome of my treatments. After treatments started and I was stuck, his true nature came out. It was a nightmare.
