In Santa Clara, California, the Dhillon Law Group on Thursday filed a complaint alleging that a doctor was 'forced' to resign due to speaking out against COVID-related policies.

Dhillon Law Group said that Stanford Health Care terminated Dr. Duriseti’s employment by"unilaterally converting his status to voluntary resignation" based on a"late and selective" enforcement of its booster mandate.

Therefore, Dhillon Law Group is alleging that SHC"engaged in employment discrimination in violation of sections 1101 and 1102 of the California Labor Code by retaliating against him for engaging in political activity."A general view of the buildings of the Main Quadrangle and Hoover Tower on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

"Stanford Health Care does not comment on the details of personnel matters," Lisa Kim, Senior Manager of Media Relations, told Fox News Digital. "Most boosted staff had symptomatic illness through late Winter and Spring of 2022," Dr. Ram Duriseti said. "That is when I knew ‘patient safety’ was a talking point that was not grounded in data. Absent clinical justification, and given other information we cover in the filing, I believe the action was a response to my political advocacy," Duriseti said.
