Guest guest Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Dear Respected of the masters, must let you know since my last corrospondence with you and i thank you again~~ now i have found out that having been going prosa on my own on mothers wrongful death suit aginst the administration of the icu unit where you know they left her untied and she was alarming for the plea for her life as her trach came loose. No one came to her aid for over 8 minutes and in reality mother was gone for more than 10-12 minutes. any way you have answered most of my questions as well as your students and I thank you so much for being here for me again , my question is very very important to me as time now is coming up to when i have to be in court on march 2 2007 at 9:30am central time in new orleans la. Well since i have been going prosa for me and my parents grandchildren meaning that my brothers widow is also in on this wiht me. Well after talking to lawyers after lawyers they have not been able to take on mothers case due to their conflict of interest they have has to the hosptital i am suing becasue either they have family members that work there or they have them also as their clients. Now let me let you know what happend with this one lawyer who happens to be a trial lawyer whom i talk to over a month ago he told me yes he would take on the case but to retain him it would cost 10,000.00 dollars but he explained to me the difference between just a lawyer of law vs a trial lawyer in which he is. He said i would have to effentually have to have a trial lawyer no matter what so i said i would get back to him if i needed him. Well after i sent my the defentants demand for production of documemts which included all mothers medical files and not excluding the telemtry report as well as wanting to know where the icu staff of the event mother flatlined on sept 23rd 1999 at 7:pm-7:30pm where they all are now! now the judge gave us both 15 days to answer all motions in a proper and timely fashion with no excuses!! well i have done what was asked by them as to follow the court and judges rules. I asked for him to answer these questions and to send all mothers medical files back in dec, well i waited more then the 15 days i waited a month then i got back to him and ask him why hasnt he sent me mothers medical files he said whats your hurry I said John, you and i know how fast time goes now I want all mothers medical files and he said ok but it will take me atleast a week to get them out to you that was now for the 2nd time of me asking him and now 2 weeks ago with still no medical files on mother from him so i contacted him and told him my next step would be to complain to the judge and to certify a letter to him as well how he has not performed his duties as the judge requested. his response was oh well do what you have to do then he hung up on me, well at that point i called the hosptial talked to medical records not the same persons he was dealing with because of so many files missing on mother and john the opposing lawyer told me i have your mothers files and there with me and i will send them to you asap that was back before i requested tethem in the correct manner by the courts and as of the date mother flatined he only had 999 files on mothers medical records and still told me after our last converstation that all the files he has on mother to send me we all her medical files and there were 999 pages and thats all there are. anyway after that last converstaion when he hung up with me i contacted medical files at hosptial as mentioned above and talked to another person and explained what happened to my mother and told her i have to have my mothers medical files and he told me there were only 999 pages. I also ask if she would please not say a word as this is my mother and what if it were her mother or kids and whom i am up against she said she knew as this lawyer is always up here in medical files and knows what a beast he can be, so she in that same day got all mothers files sent them off to me when she told me she found mothers medical files there were 1079 files all together i was amazed, when i got the files by fedex i could not believe my eyes the box had been torn open and i called her asap and asked her how she wraped the box she told me taped all around the box and that there would be no way anyone could get into them as securly as she taped them. i took a picutre of the box and reported to fedex as well as calling the mail room of the hosptial to see who had opened the box the man i talked to said of course in a shakey voice no one, so i took it at that but still am today writing a letter to the judge as to how he has not responded by her demands as to get all motions out in a 15 day process since this case of my mothers has gone on way to long, in every time i have been in court since sept 8th 2006 the honorable judge has always said to me your going to have to get your self a lawyer its very important and i told her i have been trying ! Well this last time we appeared my baby brothers widow and myself, she said again ms.macfadden you must have a lawyer present when you come back here in court on march 2 2007. Now i know the importance and now have tried harder and harder, so i remembered talking to this trial lawyer who told me he would take on the case as i would need a trial lawyer anyway so like i mentioned above to you as i mentioned to him for 10,000. dollars thats a lot of monies i would have to look around and he said sure he understood but, if i need him he will be there for me. now i need him as i am finding out after 4 lawyers i have gone to they would not take on the case as there was a conflict of interest involving family members that work at the hosptial and so on, so now i had no other choice to call him yesterday and we made an appointment for the 13th of this month. So now i have called my brothers widow to tell her we have to hire this trial lawyer she never got back to me so i called her father to let him know the same thing and he told me that suzy my brothers widow that was keeping 10,000.00 dollars in a savings just in case of something like this in case we needed, well her father old me that suzy my brothers widow has decided to withdrawl from the case like my bad brohter did, his reason was if you have to pay 10,000.00 dollars on a lawyer than thats a sign you have a losing battle so she will probably withdrawl,now here we are talking about me going prosa all this time and making sure she is in on it as she is my brothers wife and he has 4 heirs of his own his children my mothers grandchildren and if my brother did not die he would be with me all the way on this. So now i am finding myself having to go it all alone now how bad this must look to the courts on me as to have her withdrawl now, as the oppossing side could now put her on the stand and ask her why she has withdrawn from the case and her resonse would be because of the monies if i had to come up with 10.000 dollars then i am looking at losing my 10,000.00 dollars for what i see then would be a lose lawsuite! i cant even imagine what she would say but i do no what and how bad this now looks on me as to have my living bad brother withdrwal but now my brothers widow, so now i need this lawyer and i am going to have to come up with the 10,000.00 dollars myself my means of asking for a loan and pray i get it so this lawyer can put his name on the case and take over as my trial lawyer aginst one of the most aggressive lawfirms in the country. I am going to ask this wonderful friend of mine who has helped me in the past before and i hate to do this as i am having to pay so much on these two cases i have going one with my brother and the biggest one is my mother, I know i will win as the Master has already made that perfectly clear to me as well as his students and not to ask the same question over and over so i have done just that. but now my question is this with all the trouble that this opposing lawyer is giving me is because he knows i still dont have a laywer so he fills once i get into court on march 2nd i will not have a lawyer. my question will my sister in law have second thoughts this weekend and by next week decide not to drop out and use the 10,000.00 dollars and go all the way with me on this? and will i get the loan from my freind as i will have me along with my other half go in on this with me to pay her back? by the way that 10,000.00 dollars that my brothers widow has is really part of my monies what my older brother stole from me but she does not know i know any of this as my lawyer in my parents estate are keeping quiet until we get to court so i can regain my inheritance back as well as the house i pray. and in the meantime i am trying to buy a home now so that when the house of my parents is given back to me that what i would do would sell the house i am trying to buy or let my son and his family live in it and pay the mortage if not sell it make a profit and move back into my parents home. Back to mother, I talked with mothers doctor yesterday as we go to the same church and he had my mother as a patient for more than 25 yrs I ask him if he would be so kind as to look at mothers medical files and give me his opion on wht he felt went wrong and the whys of why did the icu not follow protocall. he said he would do so with out cost this is another winner for me as the judge also said to have proper expert witness on march 2nd either in writing or there well be no other way for her to go but to go with the defendents in their favor, so you see i had to hire this trial lawyer its just how am i going to come up with the money by by friend who was born 7/27/30 or by my sister in law widow of my brother, time asked is 12:57 pm central time ocean springs ms. 39564 so sorry so long but i do hope you can get the jest of what i am asking as so many issues are going on in my life as it can be very confusing~~ God Bless you April PS. I am also trying to buy a home now too. AND AM SORRY FOR THE TYPO'S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
