Once he told them, the information was no longer privileged. It is unclear whether it ever was privileged at all.<br /><br />Here's an interesting quote from the ruling, "The peer-review privilege is not a generalized cloak of secrecy over the entire peer-review process."Skeptical Scalpelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13206922456661320751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968787219619380438.post-78708844655121990842012-03-01T21:25:46.747-05:002012-03-01T21:25:46.747-05:00http://www.scribd.com/doc/79434629/Smith-v-Clevela...http://www.scribd.com/doc/79434629/Smith-v-Cleveland-Clinic-et-al<br /><br />There are numerous stories on the net, the above is the actual transcript from the appeals decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968787219619380438.post-62943262134449509662012-03-01T20:54:45.438-05:002012-03-01T20:54:45.438-05:00Thanks for the update.

There is more to the story including issues with the lab. Very interesting read.I am sure the hospital wasn't expecting that.
