Peer Review, Litigation Case study

At lunchtime, the cafeteria was full of employees and visitors. Sandy, a new sonographer, saw her friend, Janet, and sat down to eat and chat. “Wow, did we have a mouthy patient just before lunch!” she said. “Do you remember that Laura Moss who runs the dress shop downtown? She was so drunk she apparently fell down and broke her leg! I could hear her in the next room; and when I looked in at them, they were giving her some kind of stuff to calm her down.” A chair at the next table was pushed back abruptly. “That is completely untrue! My wife was not drunk. She tripped and fell on the stairs. The medication was glucose because she was having an insulin reaction.” A formal complaint was subsequently filed with the hospital administration.

 Were Sandy's comments wrong?

If so, what was her offense?

Was she merely rude, or is there possible cause for litigation?
