Lawsuit claims Robertson doctor neglected newborn
A Robertson County toddler, through his mother, is suing the doctor that delivered him. The lawsuit claims Matthew Allen Marlin was left for dead in a plastic bin for more than four hours before a nurse noticed he was alive and gasping for breath.
According to the lawsuit filed Wednesday against Dr. John W. O'Donnell III in Robertson County Circuit Court, Marlin was born early June 13, 2009, with irregular gasping breaths and heart rate, and a nurse noted that he "made a small cry at delivery and had movement of arms and legs."
"The baby was fighting for his life and Dr. O'Donnell decided on his own - without any consultation from anyone else - that the baby had no chance of living," the lawsuit states.

Doctors may forfeit fees over medical errors
TennCare to initiate financial sanctions
by Getahn Ward
The Tennessean
Oct. 31, 2011
A young woman goes to her family doctor with a cough and chest pain and is told the ailment is chest arthritis.
Wrong. She suffers a nearly fatal stroke as fluid fills her lungs from pneumonia over the next five days.
Another patient has a breast biopsy and gets a clean bill of health, only to learn later that she really does have cancer and the lab screwed up; her results were mixed up with another patient's test.
And then there’s the patient with cancer in her left kidney, but doctors mistakenly remove the right kidney during surgery.
Hospitals and doctors that make mistakes now face tougher sanctions. Two years ago, Medicare began refusing to pay doctors and hospitals if the wrong procedure was used or medical missteps led to unnecessary complications. Now, many private insurers and the state’s TennCare Medicaid program are following suit.

MARCH 2011. Daniel Clayton writes op-ed piece for The Tennessean.
Certain groups are working hard at taking away the constitutional rights of Tennesseans. Although Tennesseans are trusted to determine whether a criminal defendant should face life or death, certain groups don't trust Tennesseans when it comes to the amount of harms and losses a corporation found guilty of wrongdoing has caused. One such group is the "Tennessee Center for Policy Research" headed by Justin Owen. "It claims it is a non-partisan think tank, but it is far from that," Clayton said. "It is a fringe group pushing more government legislation that is bad for Tennesseans." Click here to read Daniel Clayton's response editorial.
The Warrior Within

Kinnard is the only representative from Nashville in the group, and one of only two from the state of Tennessee. Among his most notable cases, Kinnard recently won the largest medical malpractice case in Tennessee history, securing a $22.2 million dollar award on behalf of a client who went into the hospital for a broken leg and came out a paraplegic.” The Nashville Business Journal is one of the premier Journals in the state.

MARCH 2010: $22 MILLION DOLLAR VERDICT AWARDED TO KINNARD CLAYTON & BEVERIDGE CLIENTS, BETTE AND BEN DONATHAN.
Bette Donathan was in an automobile accident on April 11, 2006, in Winchester, Tennessee. She had a broken leg. She had surgery that was supposed to repair her broken lower right leg. However, as she was prepared for surgery at Southern Tennessee Medical Center in Winchester, medical personnel inserted an epidural catheter for post-operative pain control. "The epidural catheter should have never been inserted because she was on blood thinner due to her having a mechanical heart valve,", Randall L. Kinnard, her attorney, said. Bette Donathan developed a spinal bleed that left her paralyzed from the waist down. The jury, in a trial that lasted almost two months, awarded 62 year old Bette Donathan 19.2 million dollars, and 3 million dollars to her husband, Ben Donathan. It was reported that the verdict for Bette Donathan was the largest malpractice judgment for an individual in the history of Tennessee. "This should never have happened," Mr. Kinnard said. "Bette Donathan went into the hospital with a broken lower leg, and came out a paraplegic." Randy Kinnard and Daniel Clayton of Kinnard Clayton & Beveridge in Nashville, Tennessee represented Bette and Ben Donathan in this medical malpractice trial. Read more about this case here.

Lawsuit claims pain med overdose killed wife
THE TENNESSEAN
March 18, 2009
By Nicole Young
Spouse says drug patch defective
A Nashville man says too much pain medicine killed his wife after she had a hysterectomy.
David Cohen filed a lawsuit in Davidson County Circuit Court against the New Jersey-based drug manufacturer Actavis Inc., alleging that the medication came from a defective prescription patch. He is seeking $20 million in damages.
Randy Kinnard, a Nashville attorney representing Cohen and his 5-year-old daughter, said the Cohens have been advised not to speak publicly about the case.Cohen's wife, Amy, died at home two days after her surgery in Summit Medical Center in March 2008. Her daughter found her in bed, unresponsive and not breathing, the suit alleges.
The woman had been prescribed a 50-mcg fentanyl patch, which was applied to her thigh after surgery. The patch contains a gel form of fentanyl, an opioid that is up to 100 times stronger than morphine. It is designed to deliver medication at a regulated rate for up to 72 hours.
In February 2008, Actavis recalled 14 lots of fentanyl patches because of a possible defect in the product that could cause the pain medicine to leak, resulting in overexposure to the drug, which could lead to death, the suit alleges. The recall was expanded to include all fentanyl patches sold in the United States in early March 2008. The suit claims that the patch applied to Amy Cohen should have been included in the recall.
Mindy Noonan, a spokeswoman for Actavis Inc., said the company has not been served with the lawsuit. She declined to comment on the case.
Two National Groups Rate TN Nursing Home Care Substandard

Two National Groups Rate TN Nursing Home Care Substandard
Nashville, TN - Improving Tennessee's dismal track record for nursing home care should be a top priority for state lawmakers - and now, there are two national studies to confirm it.
The latest was done by the Lewin Group, a Virginia-based health care policy and consulting firm commissioned by AARP. It is the second such report in recent months. Last year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services rank Tennessee's nursing homes 47th in the nation, giving 30 percent of them the worst possible rating.
Daniel Clayton, president of the Tennessee Association for Justice (TAJ), calls the new AARP report significant.
"We agree with the AARP that quality of care must be improved in Tennessee nursing homes."
The TAJ is in favor of AARP-supported legislation that would address both staffing and oversight of nursing homes. His group does not approve of another piece of pending legislation, that caps the amount for which a nursing home can be sued.
Some lawmakers contend lawsuit limits would improve care by discouraging frivolous suits, but a system is already in place to do that, says Clayton.
"There are mechanisms in place, called 'Rule 11' sanctions, that punish lawyers if they file frivolous lawsuits."
On Tuesday, the Tennessee Department of Health suspended admissions to a nursing home in Winchester. Golden Living Center Mountain View has been ordered to admit no new residents, after state inspectors found numerous violations.

Daniel Clayton continues fight against Bill which limits the rights of Nursing Home residents
Yesterday, the AARP released an independent report which showed the problem in Tennessee nursing homes is directly related to poor staffing, and that limiting the rights of nursing home residents who have been abused is not the answer to improving care in Tennessee nursing homes. "The nursing home industry continues to focus on limiting rights instead of improving care through increased staffing," says Daniel Clayton. "A recent case against NHC showed that the nursing home resident, and I quote, 'would be left to sit in his own urine and feces so long that it would dry to his body and the bed linens.' This gentleman went on to develop sores which devoured his skin and muscle tissue, exposing the bone. NHC and the nursing home corporations want to restrict the rights of families claiming these lawsuits are frivolous. We need laws to protect our nursing home residents, not the corporations which are making millions of dollars a year in housing them.

Nursing Home Accountability
Nashville, TN - Tennessee nursing homes rank 47th in the nation when it comes to quality of care, according to national ranking by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That's one reason patient advocates are concerned about a new federal rule, as well as legislation pending in the state Senate.
The federal rule change came in the waning days of the Bush administration and was only publicized last week. It classifies state nursing home inspectors as federal employees, meaning their reports cannot be released without the approval of the chief of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Daniel Clayton, president of the Tennessee Association for Justice, says the move makes it very difficult for families to get information about abuse and neglect when seeking to hold nursing homes accountable in court.
"The question that should be asked is, 'Does this rule do anything to improve the quality of care for our most vulnerable citizens?' The answer is a resounding, 'No!' In fact, it does just the opposite."
Supporters of the rule change say it will help avoid frivolous lawsuits.
Lawsuits are also involved in proposed state legislation, SB 2160, that would impose a cap on damages if a nursing home is found negligent.
Clayton says the intent of the bill is clear.
"It's trying to make it harder to hold the nursing homes accountable here in Tennessee."
Those in favor of the bill say multi-million-dollar jury awards have raised malpractice insurance to levels high enough to force some doctors and companies out of business.

Thousands of Veterans Exposed to Infectious Body Fluids in Tennessee And Georgia
We have learned that thousands of patients at a Veterans Administration clinic in Tennessee may have been exposed to the infectious body fluids of other patients when they had colonoscopies in recent years, and now VA medical facilities all over the U.S. are reviewing their own procedures. “This is a very tragic situation,” said West Point graduate and Vietnam veteran Randall L. Kinnard, founder of Kinnard Clayton & Beveridge. “The VA needs to be held accountable for its actions. Procedures need to be put in place to make sure this does not happen again.” Read more about this developing story here. Contact our office to learn more about your legal rights if you, or a family member, have been affected by this.
Peanut Corporation of America Files for Bankruptcy
This news is fairly predictable. Peanut Corporation of America has filed for bankruptcy hoping that is will slow down the claims which are being brought against it for the salmonella outbreak. However, Hartford Insurance Company does have $12,000,000 per policy period with perhaps as much $40,000,000 total to cover claims of victims of this tragedy. In addition, manufacturers like Kellogg and King Nut should also be investigated to determine its responsibility for the products they manufactured and sold.
Salmonella is one of the most common enteric (intestinal) infections in the United States. Salmonellosis (the disease caused by Salmonella) is the second most common foodborne illness after Campylobacter infection. It is estimated that 1.4 million cases of salmonellosis occur each year in the U.S.; 95% of those cases are foodborne-related. Approximately 220 of each 1000 cases result in hospitalization and eight of every 1000 cases result in death. About 500 to 1,000 or 31% of all food-related deaths are caused by Salmonella infections each year. Salmonellosis is more common in the warmer months of the year.
Salmonella infection occurs when the bacteria are ingested, typically from food derived from infected food-animals, but it can also occur by ingesting the feces of an infected animal or person. Food sources include raw or undercooked eggs/egg products, raw milk or raw milk products, contaminated water, meat and meat products, and poultry. Raw fruits and vegetables contaminated during slicing have been implicated in several foodborne outbreaks. The salmonella outbreak with the Peanut Corporation of America has caused multiple deaths and hundreds of injuries across the United States. To date, there have been at least 13 known cases of salmonella poisoning in Tennessee that have been linked to the Peanut Corporation of America plant in Georgia.
Daniel Clayton was recently interviewed by the Public News Service regarding the salmonella outbreak and the Peanut Corporation of America’s actions. “The findings of the FDA point to acts that are irresponsible and unconscionable. The most vulnerable people are the ones who have been impacted the worst. Young children and our senior citizens. In my 21 years of practice, I have never seen or heard of a situation where a company, like Peanut Corporation of America, shipped out a product that had tested positive for salmonella.”
If you, or someone you know, have been affected by the salmonella outbreak from peanut butter, please feel free to contact us. In order to protect your rights as well as the ability to hold those who caused this accountable for its actions, time is of the essence.
Nashville Business Journal does a lead story on Tennessee Nursing Homes.
Legislators need to understand that this bill has nothing to do with protecting nursing home residents, and has everything to do with a corporate bailout of an industry that is already making millions of dollars a year, and passing out millions of dollars in bonuses. Our nursing home residents voices need to be heard. Instead, the industry is trying to silence them with this incredulous bill, Clayton says.
