Retaliation Against Rakesh Wahi, M.D.

Wahi v. Charleston Medical Center

Dr. Wahi argues that the Charleston Area Medical Center improperly summarily suspended his privileges in a bad faith effort to prevent him from competing with the hospital. The U.S. District Court ruled that the hospital is immune under the Health Care Quality Improvement Act (HCQIA). A Petition for Writ of Certiorari is now pending before the Supreme Court of the United States.
