Veronica Glaubach’s nurses missed crucial signs of a life-threatening complication during and after childbirth, her family alleged. She died. The nursing board absolved the nurses.



Veronica Glaubach told her father to wait until the week after she gave birth before flying to California from Buenos Aires to meet the baby. When the infant was a day old, however, Roberto Glaubach was told to come immediately.

Veronica was brain-dead.

The cause of her 2002 death was complications from pre-eclampsia, a relatively common condition in pregnancy that can be fatal if not treated promptly.

Roberto Glaubach has spent years and more than $100,000 seeking to hold someone responsible. He has made 20 trips to California and sent letter after letter. In one missive to the state Board of Registered Nursing, he attached Veronica’s photo: “The face of a human being who some irresponsible and little-prepared nurses killed at 28 years of age,” he wrote.

In 2005, state hospital regulators faulted three nurses for not telling doctors of Veronica’s high blood pressure or assessing her for pre-eclampsia. Glaubach also obtained a $550,000 legal settlement for his granddaughter after suing the hospital and two doctors.

Five years after Veronica’s death, the nursing board weighed in, saying in a letter to Glaubach that an outside expert found the treatment “within the standards of care” under state law.

“The board appreciates the profound depth of your loss. However, any further review of this matter would not result in a different opinion.”

“I was astonished,” Glaubach said. “My loss is for the rest of my life.”

Mr Charles Ornstein:first of all thank you from the bottom of our souls.Thank you for having pay attention to Veronica´s case and let us collaborate in your investigation. You deserve each one and all the recognitions and important prizes you´ve got.The meticulosity with which you managed your work in Veronica´s case ,asking for every single documentation as witnesses reports,letters submitted to and received from the boards officers and investigators,med records,etc etc,are talking -without any single doubt -about a remarkable professionality .Bravo Charlie. you made big waves that will get arise big changes indeed. The “silent-hurted- majotity” I´m sure is applauding you effort to lift that awful and heavy black curtain which is (or was ?) veiling the true facts that conducted health care in California to the existing mess. It seems that the river sound announces water and,new refreshing air,because,paraphrasing Shakespeare,..something smells nasty in californian boards.Could be widely interesting and a good culmination of your “periodistic work of art” if you take an investigative look over the Medical Board of California. Perhaps you will get surprising findings. Let´s see how does the authorities of said Board accomplish its duties emerging from the 2005 Final Report of the Enforcement Program Monitor Project,suscribed by Julianne Felmeth and Tomas Papageorge.I am aware that perhaps,we are facing simply cosmetical changes. Perhaps now,as a direct consequence of your report,Veronica´s case and many other cases could be revised by the new authorities in order to establish the due responsibilities of involved wrongdoers. Thank you again.

When Caregivers Harm: America's Unwatched Nurses

California has failed to protect patients from nurses who are incompetent and dangerous.

The Story So FarIn California, nurses accused of serious wrongdoing have often been left free to practice for years while their cases were being investigated—with patients unaware of the danger.

The board that oversees the state’s registered nurses has taken more than three years, on average, to discipline nurses with histories of drug abuse, negligence, incompetence and violence.

Back in Buenos Aires with Vero´s cuffin.The burial :Jardin de Paz cemetery
PART II.Veronica´s burial.Jardin de Paz Cemetery
Back in Argentina ,We buried Veronica (I will avoid details related with the transportation of the body to my country and the burial ceremony crowded by friends and family ).Thereafter,back in LA, somebody ,an acquaitance,introduced us with a lawyer who pictured himself as well specialized in wrongful deaths and medical malpractice. As the introduction came from an acquaitance we felt confident of his expertise,so we hired him. That stupid,layer and incompetent (ambulance chaser )lawyer from Beverly Hills with a white Mercedes 500 ,wasted our time during six months ,hardly tried to discourage us telling that there was no case. Nowadays I strongly believe that meanwhile discouraging us ,he was negotiating with the insurer and with the hospital counselors. He showed us reports signed by other lawyers supposedly experts in malpractice ,to support his alleged "lack of case ". He was not an expert,of course. At the same time I consulted forensic experts in Argentina. All of them were coincident to agree in one definition: we were facing a clear case of medical malpractice by negligence and ignorance of the physicians who taked care of my child.They pointed in a clear cut that said ignorance made that clear symptoms of preclampsia thereafter progressing to eclampsia where ignored by doctors and nurses so no treatement or even standard management has been performed timely to stop the develope of said disease which ended in a HELLP. They simply let my daughter to die stupidiy,foolishly,criminally.Should my daughter been in accurate hands of skilled professionals should she be alive.No doubt. So at last,that ambulance chaser declined to attend our case letting us alones without legal advice. I restarted reeching a lawyer in the area of Los Angeles and vicinity although my cousins are mostly lawyers but one is in Washington,another in NYC and another in San Francisco. At last the director of Tarbut School,a jewish school in Buenos Aires,counseled me to visit the Rabbi of Tarbut Bet Thora,a school in Santa Ana. He gave me a list of six specialized lawyers in the area pointing expressly one Law Office, Aitken,Aitken & Cohn from Santa Ana,Cal. So I went there and as soon as they took a look over the whole documentation submitted by me the immediately arrived to the same conclusion of our forensic experts. That was a clear case of wrongful death by gross medical negligence and ignorance. They agreed to represent and counsel us to litigate against wrongdoers. Meanwhile I personnaly submitted complaints against Geronimo Rodriguez MD , Joseph Li MD and Michael Gurevitch MD from Pasadena ,before the Medical Board of California headquarters in Sacramento.At the same time I complained against involved nurses before the Registered Nursing Board and against the Hospital before the Public Health Service in LA(Commerce headquarters)
Our lawyer,Richard Cohn obtained reports from experts outside Los Angeles or Pasadena area. It is more than common that no one expert will state against a peer in the same area. That is what I call "physicians brotherhood" and I can say so because I suffered said brotherhood. Some months after a settlement was signed amid a mediation hearing and the hospital and doctors representatives agreed to pay to my granddaughter Indiana something more than two caps of MICRA,the unfair bill that California Legislature (under the pressure of AMA and Insurance lobbysts ) enacted in 1975 to compensate cases of wrongful deaths.Said caps ($ 250.000 of 1975 )are unable to be actualized by inflation. Being actualized they should be about 1 million. Our counselors convinced us that going to a jury trial was a risk because the Hospital was influencial in the area and the jury could be reluctant to condemn the hospital or doctors specially having into account that although my grandchild was american my daughter wasn`t american citizen. Nevertheless my objective,my committment was only get some justice from authorities ,justice represented by anything else than disciplination measures against involved doctors and nurses.
I went several times along the last three years to Sacramento and to Diamond Bar (Field office of the Medical Board ) where I submitted reports of experts,copies of records,documentation etcetera. It seemed that the facts were so clear that the Board reviewers and enforcement chiefs had no way to elude disciplinate wrongdoers.
But, after almost three years (our experts submitted their reports in no more than six months ) ,The Board, breaking even the Medical Practice Act´s rules, submitted a last report telling us that....well, Sir... it was just a Single Departure from standards and the unique fault of Dr Gerónimo Rodriguez has been just :...not having ordered an urine analysis !! The statement was so cynical that we felt astonished as well as our six renowned experts (two of them counselor before the Board ). so I took the first flight to Sacramento.............(To be continued )

Malpractice in California.The story of an avoidable death.VERONICA GLAUBACH, my daughter
THE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IN CALIFORNIA,IS THE FINAL OUTCOME OF A VERY COMPLEX AND QUITE INCOMPETENT HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, SUSTAINED BY SPURIOUS ECONOMIC INTERESTS . A CROSSROADS, A CONFLUENT POINT WHERE MERGE TO GATHER INSURANCE CARTELS,HEALTH CAREGIVERS: HOSPITALS+ PHYSICIANS+ NURRSES ASSOCIATIONS WITH LEGISLATORS AND POLITICIANS. TO COMPLETE THE PICTURE OF SAID STATE OF SITUATION,THE REGULATORY-CONTROL BOARDS MOSTLY DEDICATED (PEERS CONTROLLING PEERS)TO MISLEAD AND TO VEIL THE TRUE FACTS EMERGING FROM HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS OF MALPRACTICE AND WRONGFUL DEATH COMPLAINTS WHICH ARE FINNALY DISMISSED AFTER YEARS OF "STAGING" AN APPARENT SERIOUS INVESTIGATION. (3,5 YEARS IS MOSTLY THE AVERAGE). JUST A CYNICAL COVERAGE TO PRETEND A TRUE FULFILLMENT OF LEGAL RULES.
THE MEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA AND THE REGISTERED NURSING BOARD,ARE TWO INEFFICIENT AND BUREAUCRATICS GOVERNMENT OFFICES .WHICH IN ORDER TO HIDE AND PROTECT WRONGDOERS ,HAVE NO HESITATION TO VIOLATE THE PATIENTS RIGHTS WHICH ARE NOTHING ELSE THAN HUMAN RIGHTS . AFTER DEALING WITH BOTH AGENCIES FOR MORE THAN 7 YEARS, I FEEL FREE TO STATE THIS . MEANWHILE AND AS A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THIS MACHIAVELIAN COCTEL ,THE QUALITY OF CARE SINKS DEEPER DAY AFTER DAY,YEAR AFTER YEAR ....AND THE WORSE PART: PEOPLE DIES DUE TO THE CRIMINAL INCOMPETENCE OF MANY DOCTORS AND NURSES... WITHOUT ANY DISCIPLINARIAN ACTIONS.

WHEN I SAY THAT IN MY OPINION, POLITICIANS AND LEGISLATORS ARE RESPONSIBLES, I MEAN THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLES ABOUT SOME "BARGAIN" LEGISLATION. LET´S SEE ONE AMID MANY OTHERS.:THE MEDICAL PRACTICE ACT OF THE BUSSINES AND PROFESSIONAL CODE, FOR EXAMPLE, NEEDS "LEGISLATIVE WORK." TO EXCLUDE FROM IT SEVERAL CLAUSES WHICH GEOPARDIZE PEOPLE´S RIGHTS. WHAT OTHER CAN WE SAY ,FACING THE EXISTING INDEFINABLE & SHADY DEFINITION OF "SINGLE DEPARTURE" OR "GROSS DEPARTURE" ,....FROM STANDARDS, WITHOUT ANY CLEAR DEFINITION TO QUALIFY SAID DEPATURES FROM STANDARD.?? ON THE CONTRARY,SAID DEFINITIONS ARE REAL "BLACK HOLES" . MOSTLY EVERY CASESCAN BE QUALIFIED AS SINGLE DEPARTURE ......TO BE DISMISSED. DOESN´T MATTER IF CAREGIVER COMMITTED A LOT OF FAILURES. THE BOARD´S ANALYST CAN GET ONLY ONE SIMPLE FAILURE,,THE EASIER, TO QUALIFY AS SINGLE DEPARTURE A CASE. FOR INSTANCE: IN MY DAUGHTER´S CASE,WITNESS EXPERTS LISTED A LOT OF GROSS FAILURES BUT NO ONE of the true facts,AS MAIN CAUSE. Let´s see the true failures: FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE,WORSE THAN THAT: NOR NURSES NEITHER PHYSICIANS FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS OCCURING WITH HER , AND AS A DIRECT AND LOGICAL CONSEQUENCE OF THE AFORESAID IGNORANCE : LACK OF ACCURATE TREATMENT AND ACCURATE PRESCRIPTIONS. THAT´S WHY VERONICA DIED.Their ignorance killed her. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION,A MALPRACTICE CASE INVOLVING THE PATIENT´S DEATH ,CANNOT BE CONSIDERED from any point of view A SINGLE DEPARTURE OF STANDARDS..moreover what "the hell" standards ?? STANDARDS ARE USEFUL TO ASSURE SAFETY TO PATIENTS IF SPECIFICATED RULES, SCIENTIFICAL RULES are ACCOMPLISHED IN A CORRECT MANNER. IN MY DAUGHTER´S CASE, and giving an indulgent opinion,THE BOARDS COMMITED QUITE A FELONY QUALIFYING AS SINGLE DEPARTURE THE GROSS FAILURES OF NURSES,PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES. DESPITE Six(6 )RENOWNED EXPERTS´S REPORTS WE´VE CONSULTED .EXPERTS WERE COINCIDENT QUALIFYING VERONICA´S DEATH AS A CASE OF VASTE MEDICAL IGNORANCE.SHE WAS A HEALTHY WOMAN AND SHE WAS MURDERED BY UNSKILLED PEOPLE.. BUT, NOTWITHSTANDING CLEAR EVIDENCE,THE MEDICAL BOARD´S LAST CONCLUSION WAS: SINGLE DEPARTURE OF STANDARDS BECAUSE THE PHYSICIAN DID NOT PERFORMED JUST A SIMPLE URINE ANALYSIS !!!(THE FACT THAT A SIMPLE FRESH BLOOD TRASFUSSION TO INCREASE PLATELETS LEVELS WAS NOT PERFORMED AS INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL PROTOCOLS POINT AS FUNDAMENTAL,WASN´T CONSIDERED AS A GROSS FAILURE BY THE BOARD´S ANALYST ,AND THIS IS JUST ONE AMID A LOT OF GROSS FAILURES) . ALLOW ME TO ASK (TO THE BOARD´S INVESTIGATORS ) JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION: WHAT KIND OF DIAGNOSIS AND ACCURATE TREATMENT HAS BEEN PERFORMED IN THIS CASE ? iF THEY CAN RESPOND THIS SIMPLE QUESTION IN AN ACCURATE WAY I WILL ABANDON MY FIGHT....BUT I KNOW THEY CAN´T




(Last happy New Year of Vero with the family in Buenos Aires)(Lower right with my mother Sara)

img139.jpgMy name is Roberto Glaubach. I am an architect and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina . Although I`m not american citizen I have a strong affinity with the USA. All my cousins,descendants from my grandmother`s brother are 4th generation of american citizens and they all live across the country. My grandaughter Indiana Agote-Glaubach was born in USA and she lives in LA with her father José

Agote These are just few first words to introduce myself and my site in which I will try to explain as clearly as possible my objectives and proposals to fight against the medical malpractice and to make patients rights prevail before the unfair and colluded existing system in which killing a patient due medical ignorance is not as important to the authorities as the protection of wrongdoers . First of all I`ll post "the story of an avoidable death" and thereafter I will state my proposals and further objectives of this site which I hope will be helpful to patients and people in general. I apologize if some language mistakes are commited so I beg your forgiveness from the very beginning .

Why VERONICA SOLANGE GLAUBACH,my daughter, should be alive ? Who and What killed her ?Why ? This is the story of an avoidable death,a wrongful death still with no punishment for the responsibles,who are being protected by the cinism of the Medical Board of California with the "green light" of the deputy Attorney General of California.

Part I.

On June 30 th ,2002,my daughter Veronica Solange Glaubach ,a healthy 28 years old girl died at Pasadena`s Huntington Memorial Hospital , a high-tech facility as stated in the hospital propaganda some few hours after having delivered my grandchild Indiana Agote-Glaubach She was absolutely healthy but at the time of being registered at the hospital she was suffering of a mild preclampsia as stated on pre-natal records submitted to the hospital at the time of admittance. Nobody took even a short look over them,as we `ll see.

FOTOS01_013.JPG

I agree with this title: just a miracle is needed to avoid medical malpractice. in many facilities. So people must be warned about that. Very awfull but simply true existing medical malpractice epidemic in USA.

She delivered a little girl with a 2,029 kg (IUGR) weight at 6.00am,it was more than clear that it was a case of IUGR (intra uterin growth retardement),one of the main symptoms of preclampsia, thereafter at 12.00 am she started with terrible pain and suffering . She rested unattended during three "golden" hours, in which no one physician was available, particularly the gynecologist Geronimo Rodriguez responsible during labor who was unsuccessfuly paged for a three hours while,after seven hours during which nobody at the hospital due an accurate and wellknown standard management and treatement to stop the eclampsia in progress to HELLP she seized,collapsed and died amid a general bleeding with no one blood platelet (any blood transfussion was prescripted or performed indeed)

FOTOS01_015.JPG

That`s a real truth, there`s no doubt. They sent my daughter Veronica up there, Indeed!!!

The immediate main cause of death stated by the hospital authorities was :brain hemorrage heading her to a brain death. I wasn`t there. My daughter was accompanied by her mother and boyfriend,the father of the child. I was going to travel two days after the birth due to previous work compromises. i`m still suffering and regretting myself about that.

As soon as I had been told about the terrible notice I flew immediately to California in the first plane available. Late. Very late. She was there,on the ER`s bed, seemed like sleeping,connected ...and brain dead . No one of us knew at that moment what to do, what to ask, what to think about . We were absolutely arrased and broken. At that moment everything seemed like the result of an unfortunate outcome .Nobody imagined at that point that the true facts of that cruel story were going to emerge soon,very soon.

While we were surrounding our daughter`s body ,suffering,crying ,suddenly came to the room a nurse asking us ,on behalf of the hospital authorities,for a meeting.

We went to a meeting room,where a representative, Michael Gurevitch,MD headed a conference accompanied by other three individuals (no name or introduction given) .He started with the usual step phrases of condolence untill we started asking what caused our child death. He was evasive. He avoided any accurate explanation telling us that at the time he was paged to the ICU was very late ,nothing to do. I asked several times for instance why did a blood transfussion hasn`t been done. Well,because your daughter`s type of blood was rare !!! Allow me to say: the type of blood of Veronica was AB Rh+ which nevertheles in a first level hospital like Huntington Memorial it have no relevance because of course any kind of blood must be available at blood`s bank. So what kind of stupidity was Gurevich trying to make us swallow ? (blood transfussion is a standard treatement in preclampsia when plattelets come down) I responded asking Gurevitch if he thought that he was talking with ignorant people or somebody alike.

At that exactly point,I sharply realized that something wrong happened,so I flew out to the medical record`s office to obtain immediately the records of my daughter The attendant started with evasives so I strongly demanded right there a full copy of the records. I was really upset and I`m sure they realized that otherwise they give me said copies they surely will going to get a huge trouble.

Gurevich also stated that an authopsy wasn`t necessary and showed us a coroner`s certificate which time after our experts reviewers considered as false and discovered that it has been delivered via e-mail. So how could the coroner knew that it wasn`t a coroner case having never seen the body?

Which was the objective of such a lie? We realized said objective as soon as the meeeting finished. A "One Legacy (Organ donor organization) representative entered to the room,sat down aside me and started a speech to convince us to became donors,a gift of life. You may imagine our desorientation at that exactly point . Impossible to describe the feelings. Impossible to think anything accurate. Just the idea that donation was going to let some of our daughter still living. We agreed to donation.

Now we know that the Hospital was deeply concerned about that point. Donation is just a business and surely valuable for the hospital. That`s why authopsy was inconvenient,inopportune.

Now we realize that had we refused to allow a single minimum change on the aforesaid situation, I mean,for instance, refuse to disconnect our daughter ,surely the Hospital had had a trouble to maintain her life signs for who knows how long, and with who knows how considerable expenditures indeed . Maybe that was the correct way to allow us to regain our breath and to clarify our ideas ,allowing us at the same time to put pressure to unveil the true facts which leaded vero to death, the real true about the incredible gross malpractice commited with our poor daughter,malpractice ,which has been probed by several witness experts,time after.

To be continued...

Creo que el trabajo tan arduo, tan doloroso, que viene realizando Roberto Glaubach por la pérdida de Verónica, ha dado algunos frutos. En especial para Indiana, su nieta, pero creo que aun faltan cosas por hacer y resolver. Esta el Dr. Ly, que durante 9 meses la atendió a Verónica como medico obstetra, esta también el ecografista que en este momento no recuerdo el nombre, el medico que la atendió el día del parto Jerónimo Rodríguez, las enfermeras de piso el día que nació indiana, el personal en general del Pasadena Hantington Memorial Hospital, que se lavaron las manos y hasta ahora no se hizo justicia con ninguno de ellos. Y lo peor para mí, es que siguen atendiendo como si nada. Yo estaba, en L.A. en ese momento, y no podía creer lo que había pasado, y como madre de Verónica y abuela de indiana, pido a las autoridades de Los Angeles que se haga justicia con los que realmente fueron culpables de esta situación. Esto no puede quedar impune, todas estas personas que nombre antes de alguna u otra manera ,llevaron a mi hija a la muerte , le truncaron la vida, destrozaron toda una familia, y lo peor de todo no la dejaron criar a su hija. Su embarazo, fue deseado, tanto por Verónica como por su novio, Jose Agote, pero los desalmados que mencioné antes, no dejaron que esta historia de vida siguiera normalmente, pues la desidia, el desinterés con los que todos actuaron, hasta diría que con cierto dejo de racismo, dejaron morir a mi hija y por eso exijo que se haga justicia, así tenga que intervenir el presidente Barack Obama. Y aprovecho este espacio, para agradecerle al papa de Vero todo lo que se ha movido y aun lo sigue haciendo, para que este traumático hecho, se conozca y se haga justicia. Gracias Roberto, Marta Trigo.

En este blog se mostrara la saga da cuatro años transcurridos desde la muerte de mi hija Veronica Solange Glaubach de 28 años ,a raiz de una grosero caso de malapraxis medica por ignorancia y negligencia de medicos del Huntington Memorial Hospital de Pasadena California. A raiz de esta terrible ciorcunstancia he recorrido durante cuatro años cuanto lugar existe para tratar de lograr obtener un justo y merecido castigo para los medicos involucrados Geronimo Rodriguez (Pasadena California y Joseph Li (Pasadena California) ambos responsables de la muerte de mi hija.He de relatar mi lucha contra la arbitrariedad del Board Medico de California y sus autoridades e incluso la arrogante actitud del Deputy Attorney general de California Sr Robert McKim Bell.A lo largo de entregas periodicas incluire documentacion de expertos que avalaron mi reclamo y que no obstante ello y no obstante tratarse de renombrados expertos en medicina y medicina forense,la hermandad complice del Medical Board de California(medicos juzgando a medicos) ignoro en forma grosera para evitar sancionar a los medicos.
