UPDATE: On 2/21/2013, the Supreme Court of California has DENIED the hospital industry’s request to depublish the Young v. Tri-City decision.
On January 11, 2013, AAPS wrote the Supreme Court of California asking them to deny requests by the hospital industry to depublish the Young v. Tri-City decision. The letter reads in part:
“The Young decision could have a significant effect on the rights of AAPS members. Physicians are in a unique position to observe and, as appropriate, to criticize hospital administrators. AAPS, with its many members in California, has a strong interest in opposing any attempts to chill the ability of physicians to speakout about the administration of public hospitals. Physicians in California and nationwide often face the dilemma of whether to speak out about failures in the administration of hospitals or to keep quiet in fear of retaliation. The public is entirely dependent on the ability of physicians to speak freely about public hospitals such as this one.”
