[It's late and I'm tired, so I'm posting this without commentary. I'll add more information as the news stories start trickling in tomorrow. But whew! 3.2 million.]
From the OC register:
Kaiser pays $3.2 million in birthing malpractice case
A now 14-year-old girl wasn’t breathing when she was born at the Anaheim hospital.

A 14-year-old Lake [...]

[Same old story: complaints were ignored, patients died, whistleblowers were retaliated against, and Kaiser denies any wrongdoing regardless of copious evidence to the contrary. It happens so often we would be bored if it wasn't so damned tragic. Scroll down to the bottom of the story for a link to the original report about this [...]

[One of the more disturbing patterns that has emerged over four years of tracking Kaiser's many misdeeds, is that patients with very real and serious medical problems are often misdiagnosed with mental health issues, leading to much unnecessary suffering, and sometimes death. A few recent examples are the cases of Jupirena Stein, Craig Pozzi, [...]

[The most appalling thing about the needless death of this Kaiser member -- who suffocated and died due to a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic -- is that the Kaiser doctor and nurses that were present didn't know what to do to save her. They called 911 instead, and the patient wasn't given what [...]

[Another day, another lawsuit settled. In an unprecedented move Kaiser Permanente admitted no liability, even while handing over the check. Ha ha. That was supposed to be funny, but it's difficult to see the humor when you realize that there are real human lives that are being disrupted -- and in some cases ruined or [...]

[In early September we posted a letter written by Kaiser victim Jupirena Stein, that had been previously mailed to Kaiser CEO George Halvorson. Ms. Stein's health has literally been ruined by a botched surgery at Kaiser, and over a six year period she has collected extensive documentation supporting her claims. Halvorson's response? [...]

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Doctor admits to perjury in trial of man he sponsored in drug rehab
Heather Knight, Chronicle Staff Writer
A San Francisco surgeon has pleaded guilty to perjury, admitting he lied under oath in an effort to get a man he had sponsored in a drug rehabilitation program off the hook for gun charges.

It’s our guess that most Kaiser Permanente members aren’t aware that Kaiser was run out of Texas like a stray dog with its tail between its legs, but that is about to change, thanks to Vickie Travis and The Kaiser Papers:
In 1997 the State of Texas, Division of Insurance took formal action against Kaiser Permanente. [...]

[The only thing more reprehensible than Kaiser's failure to protect its patients from this known repeat malpractice offender, is its PRBS release defending its despicable actions. Kaiser Thrive Exposed joins Justen Deal in his demand for the resignation of The Permanente Medical Group CEO, and lead obfuscater, Dr. Robert Pearl. In the meantime, Kaiser [...]

[...] After six years of investigating and documenting the heinous medical crime committed against her by a Kaiser surgeon ? and related Medicare fraud ? Kaiser victim Jupirena Stein is challenging George Halvorson to put his money where his mouth is. For the last few months George has been squawking to anyone who will listen about fake health care reform, but the one question he pointedly refuses to answer is the one most relevant to Kaiser members and its victims, past and future: How dare you hold yourself up as an expert in health health care reform when you can?t even reform your own murdering organization? Please George, tell us, we would really like to know. [...]
