Last week Friday, a former nursing assistant at the East County rehabilitation center in San Diego was sentenced to three years in prison.  54-year-old Felix Panem pled guilty in June to charges of rape of an incoherent patient and elder abuse.  Panem admitted to forcing himself on a 76-year-old patient in her room on numerous occasions.

Last December, Panem was placed under arrest after another employee of the El Dorado Care Center caught him having sex with elderly woman.  She had worked at the nursing home for three years.

El Cajon police officer David Vojtaskovic testified and said Panem, "told me that he came in (to her room) and cleaned her up."  He also said, "He changed her and had sexual intercourse with her."

The officer said that he tried to speak with the victim about the matter, but she kept asking him why he was there and who he was even though he was wearing a police uniform.  The victim described Panem as a friend but did not recall seeing him or having intercourse with him.

On Tuesday of this week, it was reported that an officer was transported to a Valley hospital in Phoenix, Arizona after a car accident occurred during the morning hours.

Police say that the accident took place at Wood and 17th St. at around 10:30 AM. They say that there aren't any traffic lights or signs in the area of this intersection, which may have played a role in the collision.

In a report that was released last week, it is stated that the amount of money Los Angeles County paid to settle medical malpractice lawsuits increase by a staggering 50% in the past two years. The news is quite startling as the number of medical malpractice cases filed in the county has decreased significantly.

A study from the Abaris Group, a Walnut Creek-based health care consulting firm, reported that Los Angeles County paid $8 million to settle cases involving medical malpractice in 2005. In 2007, the county paid $12 million.

According to the authors of the report, there are still outstanding claims for 2008 and 2009, so it was not possible to calculate the total amount of settlements for those years. However, the report found that the number of malpractice cases filed against area hospitals and clinics dropped from 354 in 2002 to 107 in 2009.  The authors believe this decrease may relate to patient safety efforts in the healthcare industry in general and at the Department of Health Services.

A paparazzo has filed a personal injury lawsuit against Andrew Wilson and actor Owen Wilson. The paparazzo, Clint Brewer, claims that Andrew should be held liable for his injuries after he pushed Brewer down a flight of stairs.

The lawsuit stems from an incident that occurred back in 2008. According to Brewer, he was trying to snap a picture of Owen when Andrew shoved him, causing him to fall down the stairs. As a result of the fall, Brewer claims he has suffered "severe and extreme mental and emotional distress," and that he will "experience pain, suffering, worry, and anxiety in the future."

Because Andrew was working for Owen at the time the incident occurred, Brewer has also named Owen a defendant in the lawsuit. He is seeking $3,251 for medical expenses and $500,000 in general damages.
