From the street, the desk that Dr. Gajendra Singh was trying to squeeze through the front door to his office Friday morning looked as if it would be too large to fit.
But with a little help, some finesse and turning it to just the right angle, it slid through with no scraped knuckles or pinched fingers â a fitting metaphor for the high-stakes, David v. Goliath lawsuit he filed against the state.
Singh, a surgeon and the owner of Forsyth Imaging and Forsyth Surgical Associates, sued the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services and the North Carolina Health Association â just for the right to buy his own MRI machine.
