FL hospital workers claim retribution for complaints about medical center safety

Since September, five current or former emergency room workers sued Orange Park Medical Center, saying the hospital punished them for reporting concerns about medical mistakes or patient safety. "There were many instances … where patient safety was compromised," said Purvin Shah, a critical care doctor whose suit says hospital staffers were instructed not to document medical mistakes. The suit seeks $220 million from the hospital and from the company Shah worked through, Intensive Care Consortium, Inc.
