A Los Angeles jury has ordered Kaiser Permanente to pay a former radiologist $3.9 million for wrongfully forcing him to resign after he tried to improve medical standards at its Hollywood hospital.
The decision involving Dr. Michael Martinucci was announced Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Martinucci was hired at Kaiser in 2003 and resigned three years later after his supervisor and a human resources staffer accused him of being racist and making sexual advances toward a male technologist.
