DALLAS (KRLD) - Bribes, kickbacks, doctors and executives all come together in a huge federal indictment.

The indictment is fallout from both the bankruptcy of the Forest Park Medical Center...near LBJ and 75-Central ...and the fraud conviction earlier this year of anesthesiologist Dr. Richard Toussaint.  In all 21 different physicians, surgeons and executives are accused of forking out around 40-million dollars in bribes in kickbacks.

"It's a huge conspiracy among healthcare professionals in the area and employees and executives at Forest Park Medical Center involved in a kickback and bribe scheme worth millions and millions of dollars," KRLD legal analyst Ed Klein says.

Up to $200 million in business, the indictment says.  The scheme includes a plan to sell patients to other hospitals to collect  money.
