I had the son of a patient come to the hospital witha gun looking for me when his father died DESPITE receiving inappropriate dialysis. He's tried to sue me and the staff despite EVERYTHING being done. I love being sued by a man whoi comes to the hospital ith a gun looking for me. Even the lawyers won't take this case howver.
