Court bars move to suspend Gotsis
Lorain doctor George P Gotsis won a permanent injunction against the Lorain County Medical Society preventing suspension or exclusion from membership while charges against him are heard.

The society planned a hearing before its board of censors but faces further action if appealing. Representative for the society said no comment pending opinion.
