C.A. 4th;
G052125
The Fourth Appellate District affirmed a trial court order in part and reversed in part with directions. The court held that a physician named in hospital peer review proceedings need not complete the internal peer review process before filing a hospital whistleblower action. The court held further that a physician bringing a statutory whistleblower action may not name as defendants individual physicians involved in the peer review process who allegedly instigated the process in retaliation for the physician’s whistleblowing.
