ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Pursuant to a recapitalization agreement completed on October 8, 1999,
Paracelsus Healthcare Corporation (the "Company") sold 93.9% of the outstanding
common stock of a wholly owned subsidiary ("HoldCo") to JJL Healthcare, LLC, an
affiliate of the private equity firm of Joseph Littlejohn & Levy, Inc., for
$280.0 million in cash, inclusive of working capital.  The Company retained
6.1% of the outstanding common stock of HoldCo, which owned substantially all
of the assets of five hospitals, with 640 licensed beds, and related facilities
located in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Subsequent to the closing of the
recapitalization agreement, IASIS Healthcare Corporation, a Tennessee
corporation, was merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, with
the HoldCo subsidiary as the surviving entity.  Following the Merger, HoldCo
changed its name to IASIS Healthcare Corporation.

The recapitalization agreement was arrived at through an arms length
negotiation.  Net cash proceeds were used to eliminate all indebtedness then
outstanding under the Company's senior credit facilities totaling $223.5
million and to reduce $12.8 million in borrowings under the commercial paper
financing program.  The Company also eliminated $7.8 million in annual
operating lease payments related to one of the Utah Facilities.  The Company
expects to record a gain, subject to the final settlement of working capital,
of approximately $82.0 million ($30.4 million after-tax) on the transaction and
an extraordinary charge of approximately $4.0 million ($2.4 million after-tax)
from the write-off of deferred financing costs due to early extinguishment of
debt under the senior credit facilities.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

In addition to reflecting the Utah Facilities transaction, the pro forma
financial information required by Item 7(b) also reflects the Company's sale of
(i)Paracelsus Senatobia Community, Inc. ("Senatobia") on September 30, 1999
(ii) all of the assets of four skilled nursing facilities (collectively, the
"Convalescent Hospitals") on July 2, 1999, (iii) Paracelsus Bledsoe County

ITEM 7(b)

                PARACELSUS HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following  table  presents  the  Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed Combining
Financial Statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the
year ended December 31, 1998 to illustrate the effect of the Utah Facilities
transaction on October 8, 1999 and the sale of Senatobia effective September
30, 1999, the Convalescent Hospitals effective June 30, 1999, Bledsoe effective
on March 31, 1999, LA Metro on September 30, 1998 and Chico on June 30, 1998
and the acquisition of DHHS on July 1, 1998. The Unaudited Pro Forma  Condensed
Combining Statements of Operations assume the above transactions occurred at
the beginning of each period presented. The Pro Forma Condensed Combining
Balance Sheet assumes the Utah transaction and the sale of Senatobia occurred
on June 30, 1999.

Pursuant to a recapitalization agreement completed on October 8, 1999, in
exchange for 93.9% ownership interest in its wholly owned subsidiary HoldCo,
which owned substantially all of the Utah Facilities' assets, the Company
received $280.0 million in cash and retained 6.1% of HoldCo's outstanding
common stock.  The proceeds were used to eliminate all indebtedness then
outstanding under the Company's senior credit facilities totaling $223.5
million and to reduce $12.8 million in borrowings under the commercial paper
financing program.  The Company also eliminated $7.8 million in annual
operating lease payments related to one of the Utah Facilities.  The Company
expects to record a gain, subject to the final settlement of working capital,
of approximately $82.0 million ($30.4 million after-tax) on the transaction and
an extraordinary charge of approximately $4.0 million ($2.4 million after-tax)
from the write-off of deferred financing costs due to early extinguishment of
debt under the senior credit facilities.

Effective September 30, 1999, the Company completed the sale of the stock of
Senatobia for approximately  $4.7 million, including net working capital.  The
sales price was paid by a combination of cash and second lien promissory notes,
and the assumption by the buyer of approximately $3.0 million in capital lease
obligations and of certain lease guaranty payments.  Certain of the notes are
subject to final working capital adjustments and to discounts under certain
circumstances. The Company expects to record a gain of approximately $2.3
million ($1.3 million net of tax) on the sale of Senatobia.

Effective June 30, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of
the Convalescent Hospitals.  The sales price of approximately  $6.9 million,
which excluded working capital, was paid by a combination of cash and a second
lien promissory note, which is subject to prepayment discounts. Additionally,
the buyer also assumed an operating lease at one of the facilities. Proceeds
from the sale, net of related transaction costs, were used to reduce
outstanding indebtedness under the senior credit facilities. The Company
recorded a gain of approximately $1.3 million ($774,000 net of tax) on the sale
of the Convalescent Hospitals.

Effective March 31, 1999, the Company completed the sale of the stock of
Bledsoe for approximately $2.2 million, which included net working capital and
was paid by a combination of cash and secured promissory notes.  The Company
recorded no material gain or loss on the sale.

On September 30, 1998, the Company completed the sale of the eight LA Metro
hospitals for approximately $33.7 million, which included net working capital
and was paid by a combination of $16.5 million in cash, $13.7 million in
secured promissory notes and the assumption by the buyer of approximately $3.2
million in debt.  Proceeds from the sale, net of related transaction costs,
were used to reduced indebtedness under the senior credit facilities and
borrowings under the Company's commercial paper financing program.  The Company
recorded a loss of $3.7 million from the final settlement of working capital
and from discounts on the prepayment of promissory notes.



 5

Effective July 1, 1998, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in DHHS
from its partner for $64.5 million, thereby giving the Company 100% ownership.
The purchase price was financed from borrowings under the Company's senior
credit facilities.

On June 30, 1998, the Company sold the assets of Chico for $25.0 million in
cash plus working capital and the termination of an operating lease.  Net
proceeds from the sale were used to reduce $24.6 million in indebtedness under
the credit facilities and $3.1 million in borrowings under the commercial paper
financing program.  The Company recorded a gain of $7.1 million ($4.2 million
after tax) on the Chico sale.

These Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combining Financial Statements do not
purport to present the financial position or results of operations of the
Company had the above transactions occurred on the dates specified, nor are
they necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected in
the future.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combining Financial Statements
are qualified in their  entirety  by reference to, and should be read in
conjunction with, the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for

Reference    Explanations
- ----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)          The statements of operations and balance sheet for Paracelsus
             Healthcare Corporation as of and for the six months ended June 30,
             1999 are summarized from its June 30, 1999 Quarterly Report on
             Form 10-Q. The statement of operations for the year ended December
             31, 1998 is summarized from the 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


(2)          To remove the historical results of operations of Bledsoe, the
             Convalescent Hospitals and Senatobia(including an impairment
             charge of $1.1 million relating to the write-down of certain
             assets in the fourth quarter of 1998 and the gain on sale of the
             Convalescent Hospitals). Pro forma adjustments to net revenue
             included interest income of $283,000 and $685,000 on the
             promissory notes received in connection with the sale of these
             facilities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the year
             ended December 31, 1998, respectively.

(3)          To remove the Utah Facilities' historical results of operations
             for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended
             December 31, 1998, including the removal of an unusual gain of
             $7.5 million related to the settlement in 1998 of a capitation
             contract.  See (4) and (9) below regarding other pro forma
             adjustments.

(2)          To record a reduction in interest expense from the pro forma
             decrease in indebtedness under the senior credit facilities and
             the commercial paper financing program.

             With respect to the Utah Facilities transaction, the Unaudited Pro
             Forma Condensed Combining Statements of Operations assume the net
             proceeds were used to eliminate all indebtedness outstanding under
             the senior credit facilities and to reduce $12.8 million in
             borrowings under the commercial paper financing program.  The pro
             forma reduction in interest expense under the senior credit
             facilities included the net pro forma interest adjustments related
             to prior acquisition and dispositions.  The average interest rate
             in effect under the senior credit facility was 8.4% and 9.0% for
             the six months ended June 30, 1999 and for the year ended December
             31, 1998, respectively. The average interest rate in effect under
             the commercial paper program was 5.9% and 6.7% for the six months
             ended June 30, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998,
             respectively.

             With respect to the sale of the Convalescent Hospitals, the
             Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combining Statements of Operations
             assume $2.0 million in net sales proceeds were used to reduce
             amounts outstanding under the senior credit facilities. The
             average interest rate in effect under the senior credit facilities
             was 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 9.0% for the
             year ended December 31, 1998.

             With  respect  to  the  Chico  sale effective June 30, 1998, the
             Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combining Statement of Operations
             assumes $24.6 million in net sales proceeds were used to reduce
             amounts outstanding under the senior credit facilities and
             $3.1 million in net sales proceeds were used to reduce amounts
             outstanding under the commercial paper financing program. The
             average interest rate in effect under the credit facility was 9.2%
             for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The average interest rate
             in effect under the commercial paper program was 6.7% for the six
             months ended June 30, 1998.

(3)          With respect to sale of LA Metro effective September 30, 1998, the
             Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combining Statement of Operations
             assumes $4.2 million in net sales proceeds were used to reduce
             amounts outstanding under the senior credit facilities and a $9.3
             million in net sales proceeds were used to reduce borrowings under
             the commercial paper financing program.  The average interest rate
             in effect under the senior credit facilities was 9.1% for the nine
             months ended September 30, 1998. The average interest rate in
             effect under the commercial paper program was 6.7% for the nine
             months ended September 30, 1998.

(4)          To record  the pro forma provision for income taxes after taking
             into effect the sale of the Utah Facilities, Senatobia, the
             Convalescent Hospitals, Bledsoe, LA Metro and Chico and the
             consolidation of DHHS pursuant to the Company's acquisition of
             DHHS.  The income tax provision on the pro forma adjustments was
             calculated using the statutory tax rate of 41.0%.  The pro forma
             income tax provision related to the Utah facilities differed from
             the statutory rate due to nondeductible goodwill amortization at
             to these facilities.

(5)          In connection with the acquisition of DHHS, pro forma adjustments
             to the historical results of operations include (a) an increase in
             interest expense from borrowings of $65.0 million to finance the
             acquisition, (b) the removal of minority interest for the six
             months ended June 30, 1998 prior to the change in control and (c)
             an increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the step
             up in basis for the depreciable assets of DHHS and the increase in
             goodwill in connection with the allocated purchase price.

(7)          To remove Chico's historical results of operations and the gain on
             sale of the Chico facilities and to remove  LA Metro's  historical
             results of operations (including an unusual charge of $233,000).
             Pro forma adjustments to net revenue for the year ended December
             31, 1998 included interest income of $1.4 million on the
             promissory notes received in connection with the LA Metro sale.
             Additionally, other pro forma adjustments to historical results of
             operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 included the
             removal of a $3.7 million loss from the final working capital
             settlement and prepayment discounts on promissory notes related
             to the LA Metro sale.

(8)          To remove Senatobia's assets and liabilities as of June 30, 1999,
             and to record the promissory notes, net of certain discounts,
             received in connection with the sale.  The Company expects to
             record a gain of approximately $2.3 million ($1.3 million after
             tax) on the transaction.

(6)          To remove assets sold and liabilities assumed as of June 30, 1999,
