More than a dozen doctors and nurses lied on a patient’s medical record. The UAMS “team” agreed to use a narrative that would fit the criteria for a level two trauma, despite the patient repeatedly saying he fell about 10-feet.

What could possibly motivate these medical professionals to lie about the mechanism of injury? MONEY.

The rack rate for room and board in the SICU at UAMS Medical Center is about $10,000 per night. I will repeat that, so you know it is not a typo. The published rate for “bed service” in the SICU is about ten thousand dollars per midnight spent there.

Even if the patient refuses treatment and tries to escape.

To be fair, UAMS typically gives a “discount.” In the case of the exaggerated fall, UAMS tried to collect only $4,300 per night from the patient.

When Medicaid offered to pay, even though the patient told Medicaid that UAMS caused most of his medical conditions and held him against his will for two weeks, UAMS dropped the bill down to less than half the patient-payor price. Nice.

For years, I and the patient, my son, said the doctors at UAMS were merely negligent when writing that the fall was 34 or 35 feet repeatedly. But, representatives of The Doctors Insurance and UAMS have written in letters and court docs that there was no negligence.

OK. Then writing that something that did not happen, a fall from over 20 feet, was an intentional lie. Or it was true.

The only witness to the fall was the patient. He said it was from about 10-feet.

A fall from 34 or 35 feet, barring a miracle, would leave the person with some lacerations. This man had none.

His vitals were well within normal, healthy range. His Glascow Coma Scale was 13 or 14, indicative of a mild TBI.

The doctor who diagnosed the patient’s facial fractures wrote “No need to keep admitted from facial fracture standpoint.”

On the triage report, that can be downloaded below, the only indication for calling this a level one, two, or three trauma activation was that someone who was not a witness to the fall said it was 34 or 35 feet. (Hint: The ladder was 35 feet tall.) There was not a check mark for the doctors’ independent judgment that the injuries were consistent with a level one, two or three trauma.

The doctors and nurses did not ask for the surveillance video taken in the UAMS emergency room be preserved. The doctors and nurses involved knew the patient did not consent to treatment. The UAMS medical personnel and their counsel failed to file a petition that is required before holding a patient without consent. Probably they knew that the judge would not force the patient to stay. They thought, it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

But no one is asking forgiveness. Dr. Damalcheruvu’s attorney said Damalcheruvu was not responsible for the alleged starvation, dehydration and unlawful imprisonment because he is merely the medical professor whose specialty is neuro radiology – the one who was involved with taking and interpreting the CT Scans.

The lawyer for Dr. Joseph Margolick, Dr. Benjamin Davis, and Nurse Britney Beumeler said that he was going to defend his clients by attacking my “character and credibility.”

These defendants should be charged with criminal false imprisonment and battery. The UAMS Police Department refuses to even look at the evidence against the doctors and nurses. Every one involved should lose their licenses, and frankly, UAMS should be shut down.

We are happy to share our evidence with anyone who wants to see it.

Board of Trustees of University of Arkansas, et al.

Here is the triage activation survey.
