In the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, Florida, a lawsuit has been filed by plaintiff Raymond Henderson, M.D. against Good Samaritan Medical Center, Inc., also known as Good Samaritan Medical Center. The court case ID is 502024CA003148XXXAMB Div: AH and was filed on April 3rd, 2024.
Dr. Henderson, a licensed physician and general surgeon in Florida, is represented by his counsel in this action for damages exceeding $50,000 against the defendant - a Florida Profit Corporation that owns and operates a medical center in West Palm Beach. The lawsuit alleges that Dr. Henderson had privileges to perform surgery at the Medical Center and continuously practiced as a member of the Medical Center’s staff without any action being taken against his clinical privileges until September 19th, 2019.
The dispute arises from the alleged violation of the Medical Staff Bylaws between Dr. Henderson and the defendant. The Bylaws are considered a contract under Florida law governing the rights and obligations of the medical center and physicians serving on its staff.
