The husband of a Black woman who died hours after childbirth in 2016 is suing Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, saying she bled to death because of a culture of racism at the renowned Los Angeles hospital.

The husband of a Black woman who died hours after childbirth in 2016 sued Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday, saying she bled to death because of a culture of racism at the renowned Los Angeles hospital.

“This is sloppy. It was butchery,” attorney Nicholas Rowley said. “It shocked everybody that we deposed, all the health care providers, even the head of here, the head of labor and delivery, looked at it and said ‘No, I’ve never seen one done that fast.’” The hospital, which has fought the malpractice lawsuit, said in a statement that it was founded on principles of diversity and health care for all and it rejected “any mischaracterization of our culture and values.”

Charles Johnson has testified before Congress and at the state Capitol in Sacramento in support of a variety of bills, including a 2019 state law that requires doctors and nurses to identify implicit bias at work, and a recent bill that wouldJohnson would not benefit from a change in the malpractice law that currently caps awards at $250,000. The case is scheduled to go to trial May 11, though recent court filings indicated the two sides were close to reaching a settlement.

A judge had rejected Johnson’s effort to change the malpractice case to add the civil rights action, partly because deposition excerpts did not show the hospital racially discriminated in the treatment it provided.

Grifter wants money, more at 11

Too bad

Stop already. Does he have any idea how ridiculous he sounds. Woman die from childbirth. It’s a shame but it happens. It took him 3 years to decide to speak out?

Another person using the race card, the oppressed card, blah, blah, blah, just so the can hit the lawsuit lottery.

Serena Williams can attest to this:

Terrible

6 years down the line! There is also a culture of suing to get rich quickly.

Bigotry does indeed affect Staffing Routes. A simple night of observing hospital staff will prove that true.

I don't know what I think regarding that. Have a nice and safe day. Thanks.😷✌

Look my naked photo ❤️😘
