11/7/18 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Anil Desai, M.D. v. Lawnwood Medical Center, Inc. SC17-1493

Dr. Desai, a pathologist at the Lawnwood Medical Center, was denied reappointment to the Medical Staff by the Board of Trustees’ Recredentials Committee. Dr. Desai sued Lawnwood claiming the denial violated Medical Staff Bylaws. The trial court dismissed the lawsuit because Dr. Desai did not follow administrative procedures for appealing the Board’s decision before filing his lawsuit. On appeal, the Fourth District Court of Appeal agreed with the trial court. Dr. Desai now asks this Court for review.
