General Counsel for UAMS Exposed

Public servants are supposed to serve the public.

Instead, the attorneys for University of Arkansas’s teaching hospital condone the cover-up of the false imprisonment and battery of a man who fell off the ten-foot-high rung of a ladder. (The victim is my son.)

At best, the doctors and nurses at UAMS made a bone head mistake. My favorite saying these days, “they aren’t brain surgeons.”

Someone at MEMS, the EMTs who brought the injured man into the Emergency Department, wrote that the chief complaint was “fall from approximately 35 ft from ladder”. The EMT gave no attribution. There were no known witnesses. It would have been correct to write “fall from approximately 35 ft ladder”. He added an extra “from”.

The only criteria that suggested this injury deserved trauma activation was “fall > 20 ft.”

Ignoring the physical evidence they were staring at, UAMS decided to adopt the narrative of a 35-foot fall with the injured man having vitals better than most men his age on a good day. They started shooting him up with Fentanyl, Lorazepam, Diazepam, Haldol…. binding him to the $4,700 per day hospital bed.

Which brings us to the worst-case scenario. The doctors who are paid as much as $560,000 per year salary wanted to drum up business. They said my son would probably not qualify for Medicaid. Another illogical statement, since Medicaid is income based, and they were claiming the TBI patient would need months of intensive care followed by inpatient rehab. It was likely, according to them, that he wouldn’t be working any time soon.

Self-pays are charged about 2.5 times what UAMS has negotiated to pay Medicaid.

He looked like a lucrative mark.

Well, our claim to the Arkansas Claims Commission is heating up. Here are a couple documents I filed today. If you are an attorney licensed in Arkansas who would like to represent Mr. Lynn in a case against the insured individuals involved, shoot me an email. bohemian_books@yahoo.com.

If you want to dig deeper, here is a copy of the full medical report. It has a lot of inaccuracies. But you can check the pages I reference, to make the unbelievable believable.
