Four Tops singer sues hospital for discrimination, claims staff ordered psych eval

Four Tops singer Alexander Morris claims the staff at a Michigan hospital denied him care when he said he was a member of the Motown group.

He says he was later removed from oxygen, put in a restraining jacket and subjected to a psych evaluation after telling staff he had security concerns because he is a member of the Four Tops. In a statement to USA TODAY Tuesday, a spokesperson for Ascension, the private healthcare system that operates Macomb Oakland Hospital, said it "will not comment on pending litigation." The lawsuit states that Morris was offered a $25 Meijer grocery store gift card "as an apology for thedehumanization and discrimination he faced at the hands of the hospital," which he refused.
