Gotsis Joins New London Medical Staff Controversy
Dr Gotsis faced censure in 1972 by the Lorain County Medical Society for alleged misconduct and later won a permanent injunction. He was ousted from Lorain Community Hospital in 1975 after a records committee reprimand. Indicted in 1974 for conspiracy to murder, the case was later dismissed. Trustees backed his New London appointment after a credentials committee review. The medical society denied giving a recommendation, and a member may have asked for information.
