SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE LOST OUR UNCLE AT THE SAME FACILITY. WE TRIED TO FIND HIM. THEY TOOK HIM FROM LAMONT TO KERN MEDICAL CENTER. WE CALLED KERN MEDICAL AND THEY SAID WE DONT KNOW WHERE HE IS OR WHERE HE WAS TAKEN. A FEW WEEKS LATER MY COUSIN GOT A CALL THAT HE HAD DIED. THEY COULD HAVE CALLED BUT THEY DIDNT UNTIL HE DIED. THEY SEARCHED HIS WALLET AND FOUND HER NUMBER. NOW YOU TELL ME THAT THEY COULDNT HAVE DONE A LOT BETTER ABOUT NOTIFYING THE FAMILY BEFORE HE DIED? WE SHOULD HAVE SUED THE REGIONAL CENTER. MY E-MAIL IS BONNIE ANDERSON@SBCGLOBAL.NET.

This hospital is very negligent--I lost a sibling there a few years back and when we saw him at the mortuary he looked more than a hundred pounds heavier--we asked the mortician why and he told us the nurses or staff "forgot" to turn off the oxygen for quite a few hours--no telling how long--this is just one incident that occurred and we had more and never questioned them--this has been going on for years and and it is still going on (negligence)

This hospital is terrible--my brother died there a few years ago and they "forgot" to unhook his oxygen and he looked terrible--the mortician told us what the hospital had done and he weighed about a hundred pounds more--his casket was so heavy--they are negligent--becaused this is just one case that happened to our family and others did happen

Nevermind the man was 75 years old and had an issue that needed CPR in the FIRST PLACE! Sorry to break the news to you, but if you get into a situation where you need CPR, the odds that you're gonna be laying on a sunny beach again someday are not in your favor. OK, I'll be the first one to tell you that a druggie nurse added to the mix doesn't help, but i'll bet you a lollipop "it" sure didn't kill the man. Doesn't an educated leach...(oops)..I mean "lawyer" like Daniel Rodriguez know ANYTHING about employment law? He gives bad lawyers a bad name. It's called an employees right to privacy. If the hospital would have disclosed ANYTHING related to the employee, the hospital would face the rath of a little thing called the California Labor Law and be hit with HUGE fines that would make the money made from this case look like the change you can find in the ashtray of your car. The FIRED nurse would have been a RICH, DRUG ADDICTED FORMER nurse with alot of $$$. Some journalists have no morals when it comes to stirring the pot. So here we have a FORMER LA Times reporter calling the family to spread the news to get a reaction from the family. Newsflash: reporters LOVE THAT STUFF! I wonder if the "reporter" has any ties to the "lawyer". Things that make you go hmmmm. Insensitive? Maybe. Truth? Definitely.
