I am a freelance writer with a BA in Mass Communications from the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. Please check out my production site: http://robinshwedoproductions.weebly.com and e-portfolio at http://rjshwedo.weebly.com. A few of my favorite quotes are: "...Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" (Finley Peter Dunne); "Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living" (Mother Jones); "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing" (Albert Einstein). Some things inspire me: people who strive to make a positive difference; sunrise or sunset--especially at the beach. Some things that make me angry: those who can't be bothered to do what's right; the fact that the medical and legal system frequently looks at people's finances before deciding whether or not that person should have access to their services...I could go on...

So, what are they hiding?

I talked with the main attorney's office this afternoon (after reviewing some paperwork that they had sent me). I found out that N.side still hasn't sent out P__'s records. Apparently, N.side has been stalling...and stalling...and stalling about the records.

I won't go into details at the moment, as I'm really not sure how much I can say at this stage of the game, what with lawyers, etc. However, my question is this: If N.side has done nothing wrong, what the heck is their problem with sending out the records? To my way of thinking, the only reason that they'd have to not hand over the records (which are, if I remember correctly, legal documents) is that they know they're in the wrong and/or they're doctoring the records.

By the way, I found a way to see the story that WFLA did on the missing insulin pump and N.side hospital. Click on: http://tbo.com/membercenter/contactus/8oys.htm , then click on the tab at the top of the page that says, "Video Reports." After a short (maybe 15 second) video, you should see a grey/white box immediately to the right of the video screen. Click on "Insulin Pump" (you may have to scroll down a little to find that). Viola!

Yup, you can't make this stuff up...
