Otis Story filed a lawsuit against Pamela Stephenson, who replaced Mr. Story as Grady Memorial's CEO, and the Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority, the board that ousted him from his position in early 2008, according to the report. Mr. Story said in the lawsuit that he felt that Ms. Stephenson had engineered his dismissal so that she could be appointed as CEO.
Ms. Stephenson filed court papers that allege that Mr. Story slandered her by telling others that "she was a sexually available woman he could have slept with," according to the report. She said in the documents that the statements damaged her reputation and had cost her legal work.
Ms. Stephenson served as CEO for eight months until a national search found a replacement in Sept. 2008. Grady Memorial has replaced the board that dismissed Mr. Story with a Grady corporation, according to the report.
