November 15th, 2012 @ 2:32 pm

On November 15th, 2012, at about two-thirty in the afternoon, I sent this email to Steve Phillips, of Pincus & Currier, LLP, the attorney working with me regarding the death of my mother: Dear Steve, Any update? Is there anything at all that I can do to help? I was able to send another $500.00 […]

C.E. Bunnell and Associates
November 15th, 2012 @ 10:45 am

I’m always a little surprised when I can find no official website related to a company. As far as I can tell, C.E. Bunnell and Associates does not have a website at all. I’m not sure who they are or what they do, but I have a bill here from them to mom. The statement […]

Halifax Pathology Associates, PA
November 9th, 2012 @ 8:29 am

Mom had an outstanding balance of $1,375.02 with Halifax Pathology Associates, PA, the company that handles — as far as I can tell — the billing for blood analysis (and nothing else) done at Halifax Hospital. That total covers six tests done on January 20th, five tests done on January 21st, three tests done on […]

Florida Hospital DeLand
October 30th, 2012 @ 11:21 am

I found a bill from Florida Hospital DeLand among the stacks of paperwork my sister pulled from mom’s desk. The bill is for $2,169.84 for her visit there on December 1st, 2011. That was the true “beginning of the end” for mom; it hurts to even see that date. I called the number on the […]

A Long Process
October 25th, 2012 @ 11:45 am

As of October 25th, 2012, I hadn’t heard anything from mom’s lawyer, Steve Phillips of Pincus & Currier, LLP, since he replied to an email two weeks before that. It’s really nerve-wracking to have no idea what is happening, or to feel like nothing is happening. I sent him this email on the morning of […]

I called Shay Murphy from the Florida Department of Health again this morning. Unlike yesterday I actually managed to get her on the phone, and she seemed to be a very sweet and caring person. We spoke for twenty-four minutes, and she explained to me how she had been unable to convince anyone at Halifax […]
