Cardiologist Daniel West, MD, dedicated 35 years to Trinity Health Muskegon Hospital, only to be abruptly fired for reporting patient safety concerns about another physician. West and his colleagues found evidence that the cardiologist in question was misinterpreting test results and performing unnecessary heart procedures. Despite reporting to Trinity executives and the US Attorney’s Office, West was suspended and later terminated without cause. His lawsuit accuses Trinity of violating whistleblower protection laws. Experts advise physicians to seek legal counsel before reporting misconduct to ensure their rights are protected. West hopes his case will prevent future retaliation against clinicians who speak up.
