A Sri Lanka–born physician at King-Drew Medical Center has won his appeal in a long-fought legal case in which he argued that he was denied a promotion for 16 years simply because he was not African-American.Last week’s decision by the Second District State Court of Appeal reinstated a finding by the county’s Civil Service Commission that Subramaniam Balasubramaniam was denied the chairmanship of the hospital’s Department of Emergency Medicine because of his race. The appellate court sent the case back to the lower court to settle damages. Balasubramaniam told the Weekly, “I don’t want the money. The bottom line is, I want the job.”
