Lawsuit alleges that a runner collapsed & died at the finish line of the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Half Marathon & 5K Run, because the medical tent was staffed by chiropractors and chiropractic students rather than medical doctors & EMTs, and no defibrillator or ambulance was present.
That’s KP for ya – always trying to save a buck without regard for human life. And guess who gets to pay for the lawyers to defend the lawsuit? Kaiser members!
Read the legal complaint via Kaiser Bad News (PDF).
Yep, that most certainly is their way, isn’t it?
Cheap, cheap, cheap…
Being cheap, kills, in Kaisers case.
And they are fully aware of why they are being cheap.
Wow…I was just wondering the other day what happened to that disgruntled KP employee who was spamming the organization…then I found this site! Ask and you shall receive!
Wow…I was just wondering why we haven’t received any nasty comments from Kaiser employees in awhile…then lo and behold look what showed up in the moderation queue. Ask and you shall receive!
Nice to see the customary lack of sympathy for the deceased Kaiser victim who is the subject of this post, and for his minor children on whose behalf the lawsuit was filed. I think I’ll drop their attorney a line just in case he can use it.
For your employer: the comment above was posted from a Kaiser facility, IP address 162.119.68.248 at 8:44am Pacific Time, and below is proof from our logs:
PS – I know that KP turns out so many disgruntled folks that it’s difficult to keep track, but this site is administrated by a defrauded former Kaiser member, not employee. Please try to get it right next time.
Well, in that case, I hope you can eventually find some peace. Holding onto constant negativity is bad for one’s health…regardless of who is / was your provider.
All the best!
Excellent job Admin.
Keep up the great work exposing these creeps.
We all depend on you and thank God you are looking out for us, because God knows, Kaiser is and was not.
@PDX_j: Awww, you found some sympathy. I’m touched. And you even switched to your mobile internet so as not to make your employer look bad (too late).
I actually do understand your desire to sweep the negativity under the rug. Who could work in a place like that — where people are victimized and never receive so much as an apology in response — without wishing the public won’t find out?
I don’t find speaking out for the victimized to be an even slightly negative endeavor. In fact, I’m quite proud and at peace with it. So please save your sympathy for your next victim.
Thank you John, if that is your real name
It’s a worthy cause and someone has to do it. Do I love hearing about people being harmed by doctors they trust, and then re-victimized by KPs lawyers when they seek compensation? No, of course not, but I will never feel badly for giving victims a voice.
I do wonder when KP employees are going to figure out that one thing I do enjoy very much is receiving critical comments and hate mail, because it proves my point.
And it is quite entertaining to read your very clever, wise, and informed responses to these knuckleheads.
I myself especially love to see those web stats.
Very enlightening to say the least.
Thanks again Admin, you are a lifesaver.
Kaiser Kills. Medical transcribers that are MD’s twisting the truth. Leaving out over 2 years of Medical Records, by design. Sending a woman home with percocet from the emergency room with no films…with a known “benign”brain tumor- died a week later. Refused admission to emergency room 3+ times with strep g in ankle related to flesh eating bacteria. Everyone has a Kaiser story- How could we get a clearing house where 50000 stories of 1=2 pages loaded with facts could be the evidence the feds need? and an impossiblilty for zombie lawyers to defend. Oh yea how to how to be sure Kaiser is not the one offering the service??!!! PS all you sell outs at kaiser Satan loves you!!
