FREE Doc of the Day: Third Set of Interrogatories in False Imprisonment case against UAMS

All the questions are good, but as a teaser, here are two that together will make weaseling work.

INTERROGATORY NO. 59:
Did Joseph P. Deloach sincerely worry that Sean Lynn would “have continued agitation” after leaving UAMS on January 27, 2024? (See Med. Rec. 4/29/25 at page 105.)

and

INTERROGATORY NO. 84
UAMS wrote in its Response to Claimants’ First Set of Requests for Admission:


REQUEST NUMBER 10: Admit that Sean Lynn had the right to be informed of continuing health care requirements following discharge from the hospital.
ANSWER: Admitted. The discharging physician also advised Lynn, both in person and in writing, during the discharge against medical advice to go to another hospital for continued treatment as the physician did not believe that Lynn was medically stable for discharge.


UAMS admitted:
REQUEST NUMBER 9: Admit that Mr. Lynn was discharged with a prescription for only propranolol and sodium tablets sent to a pharmacy.
And
REQUEST NUMBER 8: Admit that the “Discharge of Patient from Hospital Against Medical Advice” form (shown on Med. Rec. 4/29/25 at page 1301 and repeated on page 1303) has a handwritten note that
says, “I have requested prescriptions for the 3 medications that stabilized Sean. I agree to follow the protocol Sean Lynn is on until receiving medical advice.”


Is it true that the only medications UAMS opined were necessary to stabilize Sean Lynn at the time of discharge “Against Medical Advice” were propranolol and sodium tablets?

**************************

Dr. Joseph Deloach claimed to “worry” that the patient would have continued agitation at home, but failed to prescribe any of the long list of antipsychotics and benzodiazepines UAMS used to restrain him from leaving the hospital.
