Description
Appellant Dr. Don Houston challenges the trial court's summary judgment in favor of appellees. The trial court ruled that appellees are entitled to judgment, as a matter of law, because (1) they are immune, both statutorily and by hospital bylaws, from liability because they acted in good faith, and (2) they substantially complied with hospital bylaws in suspending Dr. Houston's surgical privileges. We affirm. FACTS 1 Dr. Houston was a surgeon with full surgical privileges at Dixie Medical Center (the Hospital), in St. George, Utah, commencing in 1978. In March 1982, a peer review committee at the Hospital expressed concerns that Dr. Houston (1) was not providing adequate pre-operative evaluations of patients; (2) would sometimes leave town after performing major surgery, without arranging for qualified people to administer care to his patients; (3) had an unusually high complication rate for his surgeries; and (4) was not attending staff meetings on a regular basis, as required by the Hospital bylaws. Dr. Houston was informed of these concerns.
