Northside Hospital FL problems: December 2007

About Me

Name: feminist writer - Robin Shwedo

Location: Tampa Bay, Florida, United States

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...

Wednesday's meeting

This past Wednesday, my attorney and I met with an attorney from N.side, along with someone from risk management for unsworn depositions. Of course, I can't go into detail on what happened. But I will state: N.side's people did not seem happy.

Which is fine with me.

Now comes the wait-and-see.

First Meeting

My attorney and I are scheduled to meet with N.side's attorneys on Wednesday, December 19, 2007. It won't be sworn depositions--not yet, anyway. But this is where N.side's attorneys hear our side of the case.

Should be interesting.

I wish I could write more. But those of you who have followed this blog thus far can understand why I can't, at this point in time.

Let's just say, things are heating up.
