Heading: Nanticoke Memorial's Rebuttal Evidence

Text: To rebut Dr. Pamintuan's allegations that she was singled out for discipline because of her race, Nanticoke Memorial offered evidence that between 1990 and 1996, six physicians other than Dr. Pamintuan were the subject of quality review that resulted in some form of action (voluntary or otherwise). One of the disciplined physicians was Filipino; the other five were Caucasian. Dr. Pamintuan contends that none of these physicians or situations is comparable to the case at bar. Nanticoke Memorial also proffers its history of Filipino leadership in the medical staff. Between 1972 and 1994, the period when Dr. Pamintuan had privileges at the hospital, six Filipinos and five Caucasians served as president of the medical staff. Persons elected to be president serve a two-year term as president-elect and a two-year term as president. The president-elect and president also serve on the board of directors of Nanticoke Memorial.
