It seems that 3 women were harmed enough that counsel felt they had cause for litigation. Attorney is not interviewing aqny more witnesses at this time. Please file a complaint with the Medical Board to be added to the list of victims and potential witnesses if needed in the future. Case No. SC097157 [Choi v. Bittner] Attornney for plantiffs: 310-207-2074 (wk) * I would like to take a moment here to commend Mr. Besser. His superb moral character is one that I have seen rarely in most people, even less in an attorney. His dedication and effort in this matter has extended far beyond his own cases. He has worked tirelessly; weekends, early mornings and late into the evenings. I have been astounded by the personal attention and extended hours that he has given to help his clients and all of those who were victims. I do not doubt that any defendant facing Mr. Besser has little chance of escaping justice beyond leaving the U.S. I am proud to have known him.
Rodney: Physician's assistant Rodney Davis is currently( at the time this was originally written) working with a probationary license. According to the California Medical Board, Mr Davis was not honest on his license application. Application question 19a asked: "Have you ever been convicted or pled nolo contendere to any violation (including misdemeanor or felony) of any local, state, or federal law in any state, territory, country, or U.S. jurisdiction?....you are required to include a conviction that has been set aside and dsimissed or expunged." Mr Davis responded "no" although it was found that he "was convicted in 1992 in Randolp Township Municipal Court of N.J.S. 2C:20-3(a) Theft by unlawful taking." Mr. Davis is supposed to be working under a doctor that is approved by the court during his probation. Update 1/3/08: In September of 2008, Mr. Davis filed incorporation papers for Pacific Lipo of Beverly Hills (corporation #C3129286), it was later dissolved. I doubt that a PA with a probationary license could open a clinic, I think it was probably another shell company for Bittner. The above statement originally included the words "felony" and "perjury." The statement came from a responsible party. I verified that the documents existed and contained the information, but I did not verify that an actual conviction using those terms was conferred. Upon contact from Mr. Davis, I have removed the the original quote unless I can ascertain if the terms are valid in a legal sense. Regarding those two terms, I apolgize to Mr. Davis and his family for not checking that portion of the statement I quoted. I do not believe that any justice is served by dishonesty, whether it is intentional or not. In this case it was not intentional. To say or post something that you KNOW to be false dilutes and destroys the very core of justice. Call me an idealist. Perjury is essentially "lying in a legal context," such as on a professional license application. Although, by definition, lying is perjury, the courts may choose not to convict a party on the count of "perjury" or use that specific term in the documents. In many states perjury is classified as a felony. Whether it is in California, or whether Mr. Davis was actually convicted as such is not known to me. What is known is contained in the opening paragraph and the links to the documents. ***In communications to me, Mr. Davis defended his actions by claiming that the "question specifically asked about any prior misdemeanors or felony convictions. Rather than wait for up to year to clear up the accusation I agreed to a probationary license." According to the legal documents, that is NOT how the question was worded (see above). He then wrote "This all stems from a "disorderly persons" offense that occurred when I was 18 years old." According to the Medical Board, the charge was "theft by taking." It is understandable to mispeak or choose your words poorly. However, IN MY OPINION, this issue is one where an individual should be AWARE of the specific details of such a personal situation. I believe that Mr. Davis intentionally tried to hide these facts, especially because he made claims in letters to me that were easily proved to be false. I, personally, feel that this sort of dishonesty is unnacceptable in a "professional" that is trusted with cutting into my body. EVERYONE has told lies, there are no perfect people. That the lie may be intentional, hurt someone or something wrongly and the degree of the damage are critical parameters. When we speak of medical care, elective or neccessary, the state of licensing and character of licencees should be available and subject to the individual scrutiny of each potential patient. The ramifications of such an issue is more important to me when someone is going to operate on me than if someone is going to wash my car. Perspective is important, and those who provide expensive, critical and physically dangerous services should be held to a higher ethical accountability. Jonathan G Martin: At this time it seems that it is possible that staff member Jonathan may not have a license to administer anesthesia or perform surgery. If he performed any of your surgery please file a complaint with the Medical Board. See staff photo on the "Website Claims" page. Trevor A Schmidt: Trevor and Jonathan worked on me, Trevor on my right, Jonathan on my left. Trevor did the abdomen. Both sides and the abdomen had odd lumps afterward. Kyle: Kyle may not have had license. She was present during my surgery, but I am unsure if she is the person who administered my "nitrous." There have been claims that she administered various types of anesthesia. Rollover each picture to see an enlarged view. You must have popups enabled in your browser. Works best in IE. |
