• holding that physician was an independent contractor and thus could not sue hospital under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
• holding that an anesthesiolo- gist who was required to be \on call\ and whose patients were assigned to him by the hospital was nonetheless not an employee of the hospital for purposes of a Title VII action
• concluding physician was not an employee in part because he exercised independent discretion in patient care
• finding that defendant’s requirement of “on call” status and creating assignments did not make a doctor an employee
• finding that the plaintiff physician’s requirement to be “on call” was a product of his position and not sufficient to, establish an employer-employee relationship
• concluding anesthesiologist was an independent contractor “because the details concerning performance of the work remained essentially within the [doctor’s] control” (citation omitted)
