Board Member Dr. Laura Kahn said there's never been a case of bacterial meningitis during her board tenure. "It's now 2013 and we've got four cases in just two months," Kahn said. "I think it's statistically unlikely it's that random." Now she, and at least two fellow board members, are asking to see the raw data …
