Heading: The Agreement Between Dr. Matthews and Cottonwood Ob/Gyn

Text: 18 Soon after Cottonwood Ob/Gyn's request regarding Dr. Kaminsky, Cottonwood Ob/Gyn and individual defendant Dr. Matthews reached an agreement. The agreement obligated Dr. Matthews personally to provide anesthesiology services to Cottonwood Ob/Gyn's patients in the labor and delivery room, or to select another physician of his choosing to perform such services. The contract, which was signed on February 7, 1994, provided that Dr. Matthews shall have exclusive authority and control over all anesthesia services provided to patients of Cottonwood obstetrics for labor, cesarean section and D & Cs performed in the labor suite at Cottonwood Hospital. Thus, according to the agreement, either Dr. Matthews or an anesthesiologist selected by him would provide anesthesiology services for Cottonwood Ob/Gyn patients in labor and delivery. 19
