Dr. Mark Midei, the Maryland cardiologist at the center of a high-profile case of alleged over-stenting, lost a bid to charge his former employer, St. Joseph Medical Center, with defamation.
Although court documents were not yet available, electronic filings show that Maryland judge Mickey Norman dismissed Midei’s lawsuit.
Earlier this year Midei wrote in an editorial published in the Baltimore Sun that his "decisions as a doctor have been motivated by one thing only: The well-being of my patients."
