(AP) — FORT HARRISON, Mont. - "A doctor at Fort Harrison's VA Medical Center who is accused of improperly conducting patient exams and altering records to reflect care that was never given was fired based on the findings of an investigation that began last year.

The hospital declined to release the name or specialty of the doctor, who was fired March 13. But a spokeswoman for the center said his patients were told of the findings and were assigned to another practitioner."
