ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Mayo Clinic is now asking a doctor to pay more than $250,000, after the same doctor sued the hospital in 2023.
Dr. Michael Joyner sued Mayo Clinic, alleging it had tried to silence him after sharing research findings. In February, Mayo Clinic won the lawsuit in an Olmsted County jury trial.
Now, the hospital wants Joyner to pay $256,000 for the cost of legal experts and transcription services. Joyner’s legal team, however, is objecting the hospital’s request.
Mayo Clinic provided the following statement:
Mayo Clinic has filed a petition to recover costs incurred because of the multiple causes of action and damages claims asserted by Dr. Joyner’s representatives during the litigation. This is a standard procedural step a prevailing party follows at the conclusion of a trial.
A motion hearing is set for Apr. 17.
