The plaintiff, named in a lawsuit against a doctor who denied her a medical appointment when she asked about her condition, says that in July 2007, Dr. Stephen M. Darnell performed an emergency C-section for her at the Uni더나인 카지노versity of California, San Francisco, a clinic where he is a physician. Dr. Darnell said she was pregnant and he told her she would give birth the next day, and then asked her about it. When she asked whether it was necessary, he denied it.
The case, which was filed in March 2012, is on appeal in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, to which the attorney who represented the plaintiff, Nancy Wexler, returned an email from the judge who heard her complaint. She referred a copy to Dr. David J. Darnell, whose name has been omitted from the record.
In his email, Judge Alsup wrote that “[O]ndeck is aware of all the facts before you and has therefore reached his personal conclusions that Dr. Darnell was not an expert in a specific medical specialty. That is not the standard that applies in a personal decision to deny someone’s request for medical care, which is all about a personal physician.”
He added that the circumstances would allow an appellate court to rule in favor of the plaintiff. “Our concern is that Dr. Darnell has become a public figure as a result of the sexual assault and for the purpose of a 속초출장마사지‘public figure’ that could make Dr. Darnell and others feel uncomfortable if they are perceived as being sympathetic to the plaintiff.”
The lawsuit was also filed against the firm of Darnell, by an unidentified woman who identified herself as the wife of a Darnell resident.
In his email, the judge noted that Darnell, an obstetrician in Colorado, provided some information regarding women’s health care as a side benefit during “parties and receptions” he held during the six years he was managing the operation but “never directly discussed with her what she should expect for herself or her pregnancy.
