THE FLYER FOR THE PROTEST

1975 Law Allows Olympia Medical Center
To Get Away With Negligence

On February 6, 2006, Olympia Medical Center committed negligence; medical malpractice and they are fighting with a well-armed arsenal to get away with not paying a dime to compensate the victim. The most potent weapon in that arsenal is California tort reform law passed in 1975.

These laws limit the damages for pain and suffering to $250,000.00, slash attorneys’ fess so severely that all the good lawyers are out of the business and impose prohibitive litigation costs to pay for mandatory expert witnesses.

Neither the administration nor the nursing staff of Olympia Medial Center care about whether they hurt, make lame, cripple or kill patients. This is clearly demonstrated in what happened to George Johnson on February 6, 2006.

Let me tell you what happened to George Johnson:

o Nursing Staff failed to apply pressure to prevent bleeding
after a procedure on a vein in his groin.
o Ignored George's complaints regarding discomfort for hours as he lingered bleeding…while still on blood thinning medication.
o Medical staff failed to advise his doctors about the bleeding, swelling and pain.
o He nearly died as a result of medical neglect
o He was sent home with an infected wound.
o George is now crippled due to improper care.

As a result of this, George Johnson cannot:

o Walk without a walker
o Work
o Earn a living
o Shop for groceries or anything else
o Cook
o Participate in any form of entertainment
o Participate in many activities we all take for granted.

Now Olympia Medical Center seeks to use the 1975 laws described above to avoid paying George Johnson any compensation for what they did to him. It’s not right and it could happen to you. If you want your life and your health don’t go to Olympia Medical Center.
