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...

And the clock is ticking...

I received a letter from the attorney today; it was a copy of the letter sent to N.side, putting them on notice. The hospital now has 90 days in which to either respond to the attorney. If they don't respond, it looks like we'll then request a court date.

I would love to share every little detail in the letter from the lawyer. However, at this point, it would be better for me to remain silent. The truth will come out soon enough, without my jeopardizing the case.

I did, however, want everyone who has followed this saga thus far to know what is happening, that, indeed, things are now really progressing. When I can reveal more, I will.

Sometime in the next few days, I may repost the timeline of P__'s hospital stay. Anyone wishing to read (or reread) it, please be advised it was originally posted in December.

One last thought: Those who've had problems similar to what has been revealed on this blog, be assured that, if one follows through legally, you have a chance of making a difference for those around you. You may not bring your loved one back, but you can make a difference for others. Please keep that in mind.
