Court reviews privilege log descriptions

Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group fired Dr. Kevin Lurie in October 2005, allegedly for disruptive behavior and for falsifying time sheets. Lurie claimed that he was bringing quality of care ­issues to light and subsequently sued the organization for wrongful termination, breach of contract, and tortuous interference.
