Prosecutor John Ratcliffe said Dr Priya Ramnath waived extradition at a court hearing on Friday in Texas. The native of India was ordered to surrender to US marshals on February 22.
Her attorney did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press seeking comment.
Ramnath, 39, is an anesthesiologist and is accused of giving a lethal dose of adrenaline to an intensive care patient in 1998 at a hospital in England. By the time she was charged with manslaughter in 2003, she was living and working as a doctor in the US.

There will be more to the story than what your report suggests.What we need to know is the dose that was given to the patient, who ordered the dose, who loaded the medication and who administered it? Other interesting issues would be , who else is charged with this doctor? I do not think any doctor would give a lethal dose for the fun of it. Please try to be sensitive when issues like these are reported.
