Maybe. Many physicians are not employed by the hospitals they work in; instead, the physicians are independent contractors who maintain their own separate medical practices. If your physician is employed by the hospital, you can hold the hospital vicariously liable for the physician’s negligence under the doctrine of respondeat superior. If the physician was not employed by the hospital, you may be able to hold the hospital responsible for its own negligence, if you can show that the hospital was negligent in credentialing the physician.
