Title: Dismissed Patient in North Carolina wins court case!
Post by: plugger on October 17, 2009, 07:09:17 AM

My friends and I are pretty happy about Larry Hall, a dismissed patient from North Carolina and one of our patient advocates.  He just won his case in court and I'm hoping to get a hold of the transcripts to see what went on.  I've talked to him on the phone for awhile and I know he went through a lot with this.

But for now, I'll post the announcement and what he has written about himself:

I talked to Larry a couple of days back, he said the best part of this is he won't be forced into a DaVita clinic in his area.

He didn't get a big settlement - would have been better off spilling hot coffee in his lap.  But the important thing is he won, got some justice, and some vindication.  I hope I can get a hold of the transcripts.
