Re: Government Tort Claim – Notice of Claim
Claimant: Bo Loy, M.D.
Address 375 N. Mountain View Road
Bishop, CA 93514
Respondent: Northern Inyo Healthcare District and the MEC of the Northern Inyo Healthcare District

To whom it may concern:

This law firm represents Bo Loy, M.D. This Notice constitutes a Government Tort Claim.
Please send notices to this firm unless instructed otherwise.

This claim arises from unlawful retaliation, the unlawful summary suspension, the creation of a hostile work environment, and the misdirection of sexual harassment complaint by Northern Inyo Healthcare District. Dr. Loy was summarily suspended on March 11, 2025. The summary suspension was retaliatory against Dr. Loy because of his complaints about a hostile work environment and sexual harassment. Dr. Loy’s complaints began in late 2024 and his injury culminated on March 11, 2025 when he was retaliated against for making complaints.

Dr. Loy also suffered defamation by Healthcare District employees. A Chair of Department of Surgery, Tissue, Transfusion and Anesthesia, Hospital, Theodore Rasoumoff, M.D. wrote derogatory emails about Dr. Loy. The former Chief of Staff Siern Bourne and the Vice Chief of Staff Lindsey Ricci, M.D. also wrongfully suspended Dr. Loy and failed in their duties to act without conflict and responsibly.

Dr. Loy is an orthopedic surgeon practicing at Northern Inyo Healthcare District.

Dr. Loy is informed and believe that employees were pressured and coerced into signing a petition supporting disciplinary measures or termination of Dr. Loy. The Healthcare District was fully aware of this.

This has caused enormous damages to his career. Damages include loss of income and earning capacity, emotional distress and loss of professional reputation. Dr. Loy has lost over $100,000 thus far and expect to lose over $50,000,000 million over the course of his career.
