Jewish quietly drops suit against lawyers | courier-journal.com | The Courier-Journal.
Seeking to defend Jewish Hospital’s reputation, officials with its parent company struck back in 2007 against two lawyers who had filed, and later dropped, nearly 100 lawsuits alleging unsanitary practices at the hospital led to dangerous patient infections. In an unusual move, Jewish filed its own suit against the lawyers, which spokesman Jeff Polson vowed at the time would “hold the plaintiffs’ attorneys accountable for the false allegations levied against our organization” and “publicly defend our quality of care.” But Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s HealthCare has quietly dropped that suit against trial lawyers Joe White and Mike O’Connell, now the Jefferson County attorney, without collecting any damages or an apology from either lawyer.
