Tri-City Healthcare urged to "restore control over the administration and attorneys"

...Another bouquet – the Clearing the Air award – to Ron Cozad, the Carlsbad attorney representing Dr. John Young, a cardiothoracic surgeon whose bitter dispute with Tri-City administrators and fellow doctors appears to be high on the list of alleged “crimes” committed by the administration in exile.

Cozad's Dec. 11 letter to the board of directors has been cited as a possible road map for the board. But as is clear from Sterling's Dec. 4 voice mail, she already was harboring plans for dramatic changes that would lead to the resignation of loyalist board members.

Still, Cozad's letter, which he furnished to reporters, meshes well with the course the board majority would adopt in private session.

After describing a conspiracy of deception and retaliation against Young in the Dec. 11 letter, Cozad concludes: “Dr. Young respectfully urges this new Board to restore control over the administration and attorneys by exercising its absolute right to remove counsel and to fulfill its obligations to determine through an independent and unbiased forensic audit, whether your administrators complied with all relevant State and Federal laws . . . .”
