Bryant Furlow

An award-winning investigative journalist and medical writer, Bryant's
reporting has appeared in The Lancet Oncology, the European Journal
of Cancer, Radiologic Technology, Oncology Nurse Advisor, New Scientist,
The Guardian, The Washington Independent, and a dozen other publications
around the world.
Bryant covers New Mexico government for The New Mexico Independent,
where he uncovered state agencies' alleged disruption of investigations into
Medicaid fraud and elder abuse, and regulators' approval of annual health
insurance rate hikes without requesting documentation of insurers' claimed
expenses and losses.
His reports are routinely featured at the Santa Fe Reporter's online
Muckraker's Guide.
Bryant's series in the Rio Grande SUN on the off-label use of psychiatric
drugs to sedate jail inmates — and a resulting Seroquel street trade —
won a first-place New Mexico Press Association / Associated Press award
for investigative reporting.
Bryant's reporting on U.S. Army censorship of medical research at Walter
Reed and elsewhere was spotlighted by ProPublica and Secrecy News.
He also broke the story, subsequently reported by the New York Times,
of the U.S. Veterans Health Administration's failure to report more than
100,000 cancer cases to tumor registries used to track veterans' cancer
rates.
Bryant co-founded epiNewswire, an investigative and evidence-based
medical news site.
