ATTACHMENT – CLAIM AGAINST THE COUNTY OF KERN

3. State the date, place and other circumstances of the accident or event(s)
giving rise to the claim.

A. Breach of Contract

Pursuant to an employment contract (“Contract”), Complainant was


formerly Chair of Pathology at Kern Medical Center (“KMC”). On
June 14, 2006, Mr. Peter Bryan (CEO of KMC) summarily informed
Complainant that he was being stripped of chairmanship effective
June 17, 2006, due to his taking excessive sick leaves. As of
June 14, 2006, Complainant had taken 12 weeks of CFRA sick leave
and approx. 3-4 weeks of County sick leave based on doctor’s
certifications which he submitted.

Prior to June 14, Mr. Bryan had not communicated to Complainant


his concerns regarding Complainant’s sick leaves. In fact, Mr.
Bryan had in at least two written communications told Complainant
that Complainant would have until June 16, 2006 to decide whether
to continue or resign his chair position. Ultimately, Mr. Bryan
failed to honor the June 16 deadline.
In addition, the Contract states that Complainant shall be
employed by the County of Kern “pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement and the medical staff bylaws of KMC”. Mr. Bryan
failed to comply with KMC bylaws in stripping Complainant of
chairmanship.
B. Wrongful Demotion/Termination in Violation of Cal. Bus. &
Prof. C. § 2056 & Conspiracy Relating Thereto
The above-referenced demotion of Complainant to a staff
pathologist also constituted a constructive termination. Mr.
Bryan’s email to Complainant of June 14, 2006, strongly intimated
that Complainant was no longer welcome at KMC. On June 26, 2006,
Mr. Bryan reinforced that sentiment when he abruptly informed
Complainant that he was no longer permitted to enter KMC grounds,
contact any KMC employee or faculty member or access any KMC
equipment or networks for any reason for the remainder of his
leave.

The demotion/termination constituted retaliation by Mr. Bryan


against Complainant for raising concerns relating to patient
health care. Previous to June 14, Complainant had apprised Mr.
Bryan and other medical staff leadership in emails and
communications too numerous to count of several crisis issues
which critically jeopardized patient health care at KMC:

i) need for follow-up on failure of a formerly-employed KMC


pathologist to detect cancer diagnoses in numerous
patient prostate biopsies;
ii) chronically incomplete or inaccurate KMC blood component
product chart copies, in violation of state regulations
and accreditation standards of JCAHO, CAP and AABB;
iii) chronically inadequate fine needle aspirations collected
by KMC radiologists leading to incomplete and/or
Case 1:07-cv-00026-OWW-TAG Document 15 Filed 01/08/2007 Page 29 of 75

incorrect patient diagnoses and greatly increased expense


for KMC;
iv) need for KMC pathology dept. i) to review outsourced
pathology diagnoses prior to undergoing major therapy in
reliance on those diagnoses and ii) to approve
outsourcing of pathology to outside vendors; and
v) need for effective oversight of blood usage program by
pathology dept.

C. Per Se Libel / Ratification by KMC

In a letter dated October 17, 2005, Drs. Eugene Kercher


(President of KMC Medical Staff), Scott Ragland (President-elect
of KMC Medical Staff), Jennifer Abraham (Past President of KMC
Medical Staff) and Irwin Harris (KMC Chief Medical Officer)
informed Complainant that three letters written by Complainant’s
colleagues at KMC expressing “dissatisfaction” with Complainant
would be “entered into your medical staff file.” When
Complainant asked to see the three letters, he was refused. In
so reprimanding Complainant, Drs. Kercher, Ragland, Abraham and
Harris utterly failed to comply with KMC bylaws.
Finally on January 6, 2006, Complainant received a letter from
Ms. Karen Barnes (Deputy County Counsel for the County of Kern)
to which were attached the above-referenced three letters in
redacted form, one of which maliciously defamed Complainant’s
professional competence. Complainant was later able to determine
that Dr. William Roy was the author of the defamatory letter.
Dr. Roy did not respond to Complainant’s subsequent written
requests for explanation of his defamatory comments.
D. Related Causes of Action

Complainant also seeks to bring claims of intentional infliction


of emotional distress, negligent hiring, negligent supervision
and negligent retention in relation to the foregoing.

4. Provide a general description of the injury, damage or loss incurred so far


as it may be known:

With respect to the County of Kern and each KMC officer or staff
member as appropriate:
Pro rata loss or reduction of employment compensation of approx.
$400,000 per annum for the period from (i) on or about Dec. 2005
to Oct. 4, 2007 (end of current contract employment period) due
to demotion, sick leaves and vacation time, and (ii) from Oct.
2007 until such time as complainant is able to secure comparable
position with comparable pay after engaging in a diligent job
search. Complainant believes his career as a pathologist is
effectively at an end due to his age and the dearth of pathology
chair positions in the US.

Attorney’s fees (approx. $40,000 so far) and other costs.

Loss of reputation.

Case 1:07-cv-00026-OWW-TAG Document 15 Filed 01/08/2007 Page 52 of 75

Attachment to Dr. David F. Jadwin’s Complaint of Discrimination Against County


of Kern, Kern Medical Center, Mr. Peter Bryan, and Affiliated Entities

Until July 10, 2006, I was Chair of Pathology at Kern Medical


Center (“KMC”), a hospital that is owned and operated by the
County of Kern in California. My employment began in December
2000, pursuant to an employment contract which I executed on
October 24, 2000. On November 12, 2002, I executed a subsequent
employment contract with KMC with a five-year term ending on
October 4, 2007.

I was recruited to rebuild the pathology service. I was able to


dramatically improve the performance of the department and
patient care throughout the hospital. However, I experienced
almost immediate resistance to the changes I made. In 2002, I
began to suffer professional mistreatment and harassment by a few
members of the KMC medical staff in retaliation for my efforts to
address critical deficiencies in the quality of patient care and
inefficiencies at the hospital. The tortious attacks, hostile
environment and the conduct of the administration eventually
caused me to succumb to debilitating depression, anxiety and
insomnia, etc., for which I sought, and continue to receive,
expert medical help.

Finally, in January 2006, I discussed my disability and my


various grievances with Mr. Peter Bryan, CEO of KMC, and
requested medical leave. Mr. Bryan agreed that I should take at
least six months of time off while continuing on as Chair. I
thus continued to work on a part-time basis, capably managing the
Pathology Department and fulfilling all essential chair duties.
I later submitted a formal application for intermittent medical
leave of absence accompanied by a doctor’s note which certified
that I would need to work on a part-time basis until on or about
September 2006.

On April 28, 2006, Mr. Bryan met with me and subsequently sent to
me a formal memo which stated, “I also mentioned that after
Monday it would be preferable for you not to have an intermittent
work schedule and it would be easier on the department to just
have you on leave until your status is resolved.” From that
point on, I was no longer permitted to take intermittent leave or
work part-time as an accommodation of my disability.

In addition, Mr. Bryan initially stated that I would have until


June 16 to decide whether or not I would resign my position. In
his April 17 memo to me, Mr. Bryan stated “When you return to
full time from your medical leave I need for you to make a
decision that you will either accept the conditions and work on
improving your relationships or you will step down as chairman.”
In his April 28 memo to me, Mr. Bryan reiterated, “Finally, I
said that by June 16, 2006 you needed to give me your decision
about your employment status. Your options were to either return
full time or resign your position.”
Case 1:07-cv-00026-OWW-TAG Document 15 Filed 01/08/2007 Page 53 of 75

On May 5, I underwent medically necessary sinus surgery to treat


a long-standing medical condition, and on May 29, I suffered a
serious fall which fractured two bones in my foot and avulsed a
ligament in my ankle. On May 31, I sent a letter to Mr. Bryan,
requesting an extension of the June 16 deadline.

On June 13, 3 days prior to the June 16 deadline he had promised


me, Mr. Peter Bryan (CEO of KMC) summarily informed me by email
that I was being stripped of chairmanship effective June 17, 2006,
due to my taking excessive sick leaves and my subsequent alleged
“inability to provide consistent and stable leadership in the
department for most of the past eight to nine months”. Mr. Bryan
further stated that he was going to grant me 90 days of personal
leave, despite the fact that I had not yet exhausted the 6
months’ of cumulative sick leave permitted under Kern County
rules.

As of June 13, I had taken, in the aggregate, 12 weeks of CFRA


sick leave and approximately 3-4 additional weeks of County sick
leave based on doctor’s certifications which I submitted.

Prior to June 13, Mr. Bryan had not communicated to me his


concerns regarding my sick leaves. In fact, as noted above, Mr.
Bryan had in at least two written communications told me that I
would have until June 16, 2006 to decide whether to continue or
resign my position at KMC.

On June 26, Mr. Bryan stated that I had “recently been seen on
the hospital campus” while on my personal necessity leave of
absence. He then took the drastic measure of ordering me to
“refrain from entering the facility for any reason other than
seeking medical attention”, “refrain from contacting any employee
or faculty member of Kern Medical Center for any reason other
than seeking medical attention”, and stated that “usage of any
and all equipment as well as access to any and all systems has
been suspended while [on my] approved personal necessity leave of
absence”. I discovered that this included suspension of my email
and voice mail accounts, to which I require access in order to
manage ongoing patient care issues. Mr. Bryan concluded his
letter by saying that “Failure to comply with the instructions of
this letter, are grounds for disciplinary actions up to and
including termination of your contract with the County of Kern.”

On June 29, my attorney, Mr. Eugene Lee, sent a letter to Ms.


Karen Barnes, Deputy County Counsel for the County of Kern,
disclosing my intention to pursue legal remedies against KMC and
certain of its officers and employees, and requesting that KMC
preserve all evidence relating to my claims. The letter
specifically stated that I would be pursuing claims for, among
other things, disability discrimination, failure to accommodate
disability, retaliation for taking California Family Rights Act
medical leaves, etc.

Case 1:07-cv-00026-OWW-TAG Document 15 Filed 01/08/2007 Page 54 of 75

On July 3, I filed a Tort Claims Act form with the County of Kern,
describing my related tort and contractual breach claims. In
that form, I specifically named as potential defendants Mr. Bryan,
Dr. Irwin Harris, Dr. Eugene Kercher, Dr. Scott Ragland, and Dr.
Jennifer Abraham, all KMC officers and employees, and Dr. William
Roy, a contract physician.

I later learned from Deputy County Counsel Karen Barnes in her


reply letter to Mr. Lee of July 18, that on July 10, the KMC
Joint Conference Committee had formally voted to accept Mr.
Bryan’s recommendation that I be removed as Chair of the
Pathology Department. I had no prior notice of this meeting or
its agenda.
