Hello runningbozo-ga,
The story about Dr. Charles D. Gianetti facing investigation for
illegal billing practices went out on the AP wire on June 20, 2004 and
was widely reported by many news outlets in Connecticut. I?ve included
a sampling of the articles.
Dr. Gianetti has been involved in over 200 lawsuits over the past 20
years so it will be possible for you to track down additional news
reports if you?re willing to do the digging. The current article
mentions several patients who have been involved with litigation with
Dr. Gianetti and gives the town where they were located. It should be
possible for you to look up the newspaper archives for those cases to
continue your investigations.
In addition to the current article, I found several other reports of
recent appellate cases that Dr. Gianetti was a party to and I?ve
included links for you.
Finally, I also located a Florida report showing that Dr. Gianetti
surrendered his medical license in 2002.
I hope that the information I?ve found is helpful.
Best wishes.

CHARLES D. GIANETTI v. NORWALK HOSPITAL ET AL.(SC 16640)Sullivan, C.
J., and Borden, Palmer, Vertefeuille and Zarella, Js. Argued January
13?officially released November 11, 2003
In this certified appeal, the named defendant, Norwalk Hospital
(hospital),1 appeals, and the plaintiff, Charles D. Gianetti, cross
appeals from the judgment of the Appellate Court, which, inter alia,
reversed the judgment of the trial court awarding the plaintiff
nominal damages in connection with his breach of contract claim. The
primary issue is whether the Appellate Court properly determined that
the facts elicited at trial reasonably could only support the
conclusion that the plaintiff was a lost volume seller of services and
that he was entitled to damages for lost profits only for the year of
1984. We conclude that the record does not support that determination
and, accordingly, we reverse in part the judgment of the Appellate
Court and remand the case for a new hearing in damages. The following
facts and procedural history are relevant to the resolution of this
appeal.
