I don’t know the medical issues involved here, but if the doctor was immune from being sued because he worked for a public hospital, and is now being penalized because he didn’t raise that issue in a timely manner, it seems like its the fault of the lawyer, not the doctor. This just doesn’t seem right.
I don’t know that I agree with making a doctor “un-suable” because he works for a public hospital, but if that’s the law, this doctor shouldn’t be punished because his lawyer screwed up.
listen the doctors wife is stupid just like he is a drug addict doctor. and i think that the lady sueing him should win this case easy because he is no good
No, actually, I was referring to this portion: “However, the court record showed that for five years, Warrington and Helen Grimes prepared for trial, including pretrial depositions, also called discovery.”
The Dr. and his wife were preparing, not a lawyer.
Ok, so then…they were both preparing without lawyers??? lol If I recall the article correctly, was there any mention of lawyers for them? Wouldn’t this be the duty of a lawyer and if neither one had a lawyer, then that’s their own stupidity. You can’t take on a case like this without representation on either side.

It appears from the article that he represented himself. There was never a lawyer reference and it states that him and his wife were preparing.
This is the reason he should have gotten a lawyer!
Well, peep this portion of the article:
“Helen Grimes sued Dr. James Warrington Jr. in 2001 for medical malpractice in the death of her husband, John Grimes.”
Tag, you’re it! LOL
listen the doctors wife is stupid just like he is a drug addict doctor. and i think that the lady sueing him should win this case easy because he is no good
Slight correction, Shannon: the wife you referenced is the widow actually, not the doctor’s wife.

A little personal animosity toward the doctor, Chevy Guy?
Ok, you got me….Big Mike! :)
