I am totally unfamilar with Stark and how it might apply to employees.
It seems to me that physicians (who have completed their formal training programs) are generally not employees of hospitals except maybe as administrators, but my perception may be based on geographic locale/experience. I am pretty sure this is the case in TX and CA.

Yeah, she could be in a corporate practice state. Like most Texans, I'm suspicious of the corporate practice of medicine, though it is increasingly more common. The hospital chains and espeically the ones with an HMO product love it, though, since they can control a hell of a lot more of what goes on in their hospitals. California medical staff is even entitled to separate legal counsel. The TMA would probably storm the capitol if anyone tried to fuck around with Flynn Brothers.
