A Flint pediatrician and former hospital CEO blasted the use of industrial scanners not designed for use on human beings to document Flint residents exposure to lead-contaminated drinking water, as a federal judge began a multi-day hearing Monday on whether a proposed $641.25 million partial settlement is a fair one.
