Mr. Young reversed his dismissal of Curtis Lewis, MD, in a Dec. 16 letter that, in its entirety, said, “We look forward to Grady continuing to move forward in 2010 and wish to have you assist us in these endeavors.”

Dr. Lewis said he was unaware that Mr. Young was unhappy with his performance, was happy to be reinstated and intended to foster good relations with the CEO.
