AP: Doctors: Death risk high for ill Kansas election official

0
By KMAN Staff on January 25, 2021 State News

WICHITA, Kan. — Two doctors who treated a Kansas election commissioner who was fired for accessing a voter database when working from home while battling cancer say she faced a one-in-four chance or more of dying if she got COVID-19.

The Wichita Eagle reports it talked to Sedgwick County Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman’s oncologist, Dr. Dennis Moore and her infectious disease specialist, Dr. Tom Moore, with her consent. The doctors, who are brothers, said she would have been unnecessarily risking her life if she worked in the office during the election.

Lehman at the time was on a very aggressive form of chemotherapy for lymphatic cancer that is now in remission.
