State Rep. Earle Banks, D-Jackson, says he's angered that a plastic surgeon refused to treat his daughter because the lawmaker recently voted against civil justice reforms. "I believe it is outrageous that a doctor refuses to treat a patient because of the patient's family's political views or beliefs,'' Banks told The Clarion-Ledger on Friday. Tort reform passed, and the session is over, Banks said. "It is so childish.''
