Opportunity for UAMS Students To Settle Lawsuit
This is a draft, unfinished complaint. It will probably be complete and filed by Monday, December 29, 2025.
Defendants who are interested in early settlement should contact Laura Hammett at bohemian_books@yahoo.com.
The plaintiffs asked UAMS attorney Sherri Robinson and Risk Manager Steve Hillis to meet for a settlement discussion several months ago. UAMS defense counsel and The Doctor’s Company Insurance representative showed little interest.
Soon to be Filed Public Corruption Complaint
This is only a rough draft of the caption and introduction. One defendant Joseph Margolick, M.D. has another open malpractice case for allegedly leaving a sponge in a patient. There is also a Joseph Margolick with an outstanding 2022 Failure to Appear warrant in Pulaski County. Coincidence?
What do you think?
The main problem I see is that Arkansas polices itself and is its own judge and jury. If the ordinary person did anything close to what we allege here, that ordinary person would have been locked up.
Introduction
Sean Lynn was hurt and wanted to go home to his bed, his food, and his daughter. Instead, clinicians at UAMS hurt him worse. For two weeks, they imprisoned, starved, dehydrated, assaulted and battered Lynn in UAMS Medical Center. Lynn was denied visitation with his beloved daughter. The Arkansas State employees insisted that the communication disabilities they caused were “incapacity.” Rather than appoint Hammett as a surrogate, the clinicians substituted their judgment for Lynn’s.
Laura Hammett made a reasonable and eventually successful attempt to rescue Lynn. The Defendants caused her physical and economic damage through ordinary negligence arising under the rescuer doctrine and breach of contractual obligations.
On January 27, 2024, the Defendants allowed Lynn to leave UAMS. He was in far worse condition than when he entered. The Defendants had caused physical and emotional trauma, exacerbated aphasia, and hearing loss.
On February 13, 2024, UAMS Medical Center, a unit of the University of Arkansas, generated a statement claiming total charges of $115,132.45, and thanked Lynn “for choosing” them as his healthcare provider.
Plaintiffs seek damages from the individual defendants who caused Plaintiffs’ harm.
Plaintiffs also seek prospective equitable relief against the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas to enjoin enforcement of any policy or practice at UAMS Medical Center that prohibits or chills the documentation of non-consensual hospitalization in violation of Article 2, Section 6 of the Arkansas Constitution. Further, Plaintiffs seek declaratory relief requiring referral of evidence from this action and the related Arkansas Claims Commission proceeding to the Public Integrity Unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Lynn is pro se and is happy to speak with attorneys willing to help him. You can contact Lynn though me at bohemian_books@yahoo.com
Populism and Corrupt Courts
Thank you to my wonderful friend Carolyn Conrad for saving many of the posts I wrote for the now-defunct Examiner.com.
Carolyn’s son Christopher died recently. He never fully recovered from the devastation thrust upon his life by corrupt court collaterals and judicial officers. Ah, that tears could wash away the memories. But not.
UAMS Doctors Tried to Hide the Evidence
Summary of the Case
This complaint arises from negligence in a medical setting that can be understood by a person of ordinary intelligence using common knowledge. The defendants failed to ask the patient what the mechanism of his injury was, instead relying on an unattributed and erroneous note made by someone who was not a witness to the accident. Based solely on that erroneous statement, the Medical Defendants substituted their judgment for the patient’s and refused to allow the patient to contact his family or get a ride home from a professional driver.
The claims that arose during the two weeks immediately after are brought under two alternate theories. The Plaintiffs’ preferred theory is that refusal of consent ended the doctor-patient relationship, and the further claims arise out of ordinary tort, contract, and civil rights law. The alternative is that Lynn’s claims are subsumed into the medical injury claim, and Hammett’s claims fall under tort, contract, and civil rights law, particularly the ADA.
In response to the Plaintiffs’ threats of a lawsuit, the Defendants allowed Lynn to leave the hospital on January 27, 2024. Instead of attempting to make the Plaintiffs whole, the Defendants manifested their intent to commit fraud on the court and obstruct justice. They refused to amend the medical record to correct the mechanism of the initial injury and destroyed the videos taken in the emergency room and during Lynn’s escape attempts through the hospital halls and stairways.
