The Clerk is hereby directed to send a copy of this Order to counsel for all parties and Russell Medical Center. It is clear that in any peer review process where the professional activities are subject to critical review, the opportunity for disagreement, disputes, and hurt feelings are present. The freedom to make decisions in this area includes the freedom to make wrong decisions. The question for the court is where the decision making powers rest, not whether the decision was wrong. This Court declines to become involved in determining whether the peer review decisions were right or wrong.
Decisions have consequences.
If right, the public consumers of health care profit. If wrong, the law often affords remedies to those adversely affected. Even where no remedy is afforded in law, the economic costs of wrong decisions will eventually be felt. The plaintiff then moved the trial court to provide the certification permitted by Rule 5, Ala. R. Civ. P., so he could request this Court's permission to appeal.
