Why has Arkansas law enforcement not arrested these UAMS clinicians?

A man was forcibly administered controlled substances, including fentanyl, restrained naked to a hospital bed, starved, and left in that condition for nearly two weeks—despite having no injury below the neck at the time of admission, a GCS of 13 or 14, and reported his pain level as 2 out of 10 (“hurts a little”). Read the full report made by UAMS. Counsel in the civil suit swear the report “speaks for itself.”

A great place to start is on page 71. This section was suppressed until 15 months after the patient left AMA. There is an error repeated throughout that UAMS refused to correct. The initial injury was caused by a jump from about the ten-foot-high rung of a falling ladder. Not a “35-foot” fall. Big difference! UAMS doctors decided that the EMT who showed up at the site after the accident knew better than the only witness, the man who jumped to save his life. (There were a steep slope and a power line close by.)

I witnessed it. The medical report left a lot out. For example, the defendants admit to using four point restraints, but do not mention who captured and held the man to the bed. It took several people at once. Eventually, I was able to get him out by threatening a lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. 1983, deprivation of rights under color of law.

When UAMS refused to discuss a settlement, we filed a claim at the Arkansas Claims Commission. It was only against the university medical center. After a year without thinking up a viable defense, UAMS decided we must exhaust all insurance before the university would need to answer interrogatories or produce documents.

So, we filed a lawsuit on 71 clinicians that were definitely involved and 10 Doe defendants.

Absolutely, 100%, beyond a reasonable doubt, these professors and students at the university hospital forced the patient to stay for two weeks and battered him continually. When they finally let him go AMA, they prescribed only salt tablets, acetaminophen, and a headache medicine that can be fatal if stopped suddenly. Their non-consenting patient obviously was not in imminent danger of death.

Then they sent him a bill for $46,000.

In our lawsuit, we listed both negligent and intentional torts. Insurance will only pay for negligent acts. The insurance decided there was no negligence.

These medical providers were, according to Steve Hillis of Gallagher Risk Management and The Doctors Insurance, acting intentionally. Or at least with reckless disregard for the rights of another.

Think about this. UAMS doctors and lawyers have sworn that the clinicians did no wrong. What they should say is that if you have the misfortune of being brought to UAMS by ambulance or if you go there because it is convenient, you do not have the right to refuse treatment.

And after they use four-point restraints and a benzo cocktail to keep you there, expect a bill that will enslave you to paying their six-figure salaries for the rest of your life.

Yet, UAMS Police to me to stop sending the evidence to them and never spoke to the primary victim. They allowed the surveillance videos taken by UAMS employees to be destroyed.

Regular people like you and I should have access to justice, even if we can't afford an attorney. Judges must stop their cronyism. Attorneys who use abusive tactics against pro se litigants should be disbarred. This site discusses some of the abuses by our legal professionals. It also gives media attention to cases that are fought and sometimes won by the self represented.
