Lalaji was responsible for diagnostic radiology, using X-rays and CT scans to diagnose a patient’s condition.
In November 2023, Mercy Health Lourdes , a hospital in Paducah, suspended Lalaji after reports of him misreading images and missing conditions in eight cases. These reports prompted an investigation by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure.
