Orthopedic Surgeon Jimmie Biles, MD, of Yellowstone Sports Medicine in Cody, Wyo., claims an Indiana woman sent anonymous mass mailings last December that disparaged his reputation, according to a Powell Tribune report.
Flyers containing false information about Dr. Biles were sent to more than 14,000 addresses in his community last year. Now, Dr. Biles is suing the woman whose cell phone number and e-mail address were used to place the order for the flyers for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and intentional interference with economic relations, according to the report.
The woman claims she was an agent for a different person and knows nothing about the suit.
The fliers claimed Dr. Biles did a "terrible" job when performing surgery for a broken ankle and said the author would be suing him. No suits have been filed against Dr. Biles at this point. The flier also listed additional false allegations, according to the report.
