ON PETITION FOR REHEARING WITH SUGGESTION FOR REHEARING EN BANC


OPINION


DeSoto General Hospital and the other plaintiffs-appellees seek a rehearing, with a suggestion for rehearing en banc, of our modification on rehearing, 766 F.2d 186 (5th Cir. 1985) of our original opinion, 766 F.2d 182 (5th Cir. 1985). Appellees contend that we erred by modifying on rehearing the remedy ordered in the original opinion. We find the argument of appellees persuasive. Accordingly, we grant panel rehearing, vacate the opinion on rehearing, and reinstate the original opinion in full. This grant of panel rehearing moots the suggestion for rehearing en banc.

REHEARING GRANTED, OPINION ON REHEARING VACATED, ORIGINAL OPINION REINSTATED.
