Doctor cites hospital execs' financial ties with device firm in lawsuit
David Gossman, an interventional cardiologist formerly with Lahey Clinic hospitals in Boston, has filed a lawsuit claiming that he was dismissed after complaining about the financial ties of hospital executives with Medtronic. Gossman also claims that the officials pushed other physicians to use more products from the company. A spokesman for Medtronic said he wasn't able to verify the link between the firm and hospital officials and noted that the company's code of conduct would not permit such a behavior by the executives.
