One of the Kaiser attorneys involved in the Jupirena Stein matter was named George E. Clause. OldCoder notes: Clause is a good name for an attorney.
George E. Clause was previously located in Redwood City, CA. His phone number through 2019 was xxx-637-9100 [redacted]. Note: That phone number was likely invalid as of 2024. However, in 2024, it led to other information.
The George Clause who had that phone number was born in November 1952. So, he's believed to have been age 71 as of Fall 2024. At the time, the CA State Bar listed him as an active attorney, SBN 88107, with a practice located at:
Address: 1639 Laurelwood Dr, San Jose, CA 95125-4958
DMHC (California Department of Managed Health Care): How they enabled Kaiser to get away with possible Medicare Fraud.
Date unconfirmed: The Kaiser Attorney that worked for the law firm of Ropers and Majeski stated that since Ms. Stein was already receiving Disability under Social Security (from a vehicular accident) suggested that it would be fine from his perspective to deceive the government and make Ms. Stein the government's responsibility for Kaiser's medical malpractice.
The Kaiser attorney even exaggerated the reason that Ms. Stein had obtained Disability so as to push this resolution to her malpractice concern.
It isn't clear why Ms. Stein's attorney permitted such conduct. Here is some advice to regular people: If your attorney advises you to not be present hearings and depos, and you're able to attend, do so.

August 10, 2000 — Lewis Chartrand — former Assistant Deputy Director of Office of Legal Services — signed to have the records for this investigation destroyed during the investigation. To read a relevant document:
Note: Chartrand seems to have signed his part on August 10, 2000. The latest signature in the document seems to be 20 days later, August 30, 2000.

Brazilian volunteer help Flórida’s patients
Jupirena Stein from Minas Gerais, Brasil,is a"patient advocate."
To Kaiser Permanente Patients:
This is Jupirena Stein after Kaiser and after they caused a brain attack.
The photograph to the left was taken in 2002. Private physicians had advised her to expect to shortly suffer a stroke(brain attack) or heart attack due to the Kaiser patient abuse.This photograph below and to the right is of Jupirena Stein one year later and after suffering a brain attack. Photo taken in 2003.
In 2004, UCLA advised her to expect a more severe brain attack in the future.
The above x-ray shows a V thing that signing physician - Dr. Timothy Wilfred Wild, also known as Tim Wild, MD placed in her liver. He signed as the operating physician for a biopsy on her neck and this ended up inside her liver which is not any where near her neck. This was done without medical need, without her knowledge or consent.
JStein believes with good reason that this was just another illegal experiment that Kaiser uses their patients for.
The above x-ray shows the destruction that signing surgeon Tim Wild also known as Timothy Wilford Wild, MD of Kaiser Permanente Redwood City did to her body. She went in for a biopsy on a lymph node on her neck and this is what happened. Healthy muscles were cut off resulting in her right shoulder bones dropping down because there was nothing left to hold them up.
Kaiser Permanente is the main source of California's Health Care chaos. They allow their professors and doctors in their Graduate Medical Education to perform illegal, horrific criminal surgeries, whether the patient needs it or not. Kaiser drags down with them many;- such as the DMHC, OIA, ACGME, Medical Board, JAMS etc. IT IS TIME TO STOP THE CRIMES. No more crimes equals to no more need to lie, defraud and use corruption as means to cover up for Kaiser. Educate yourself, expose and confront. "Evil prevails when the good people remain silent or take no action." Jupirena Stein

This is a liability clause that Kaiser uses for all Residency Programs Resident Policy and Procedure Manual"
E. Professional Liability Insurance Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. (KFHP) provides professional liability protection for its employees and residents and the employees of the following organizations: Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, Kaiser
Foundation Health Plan, Inc. and The Permanente Medical Group, Inc. if any such employee is named as a defendant in a law suit alleging negligence arising from work performed on behalf of these organizations. It is, therefore, unnecessary for a resident to carry professional liability insurance. KFHP will provide a defense for each employee and will pay, when appropriate or legally obligated, all sums which may be required in judgment or settlement of damages or injuries sustained by an injured third party, provided the employee was acting in good faith and within the course and scope of his/her job responsibilities when the negligent act is alleged to have taken place.
KFHP is not obligated to provide a defense for or indemnify the employee if he/she is deemed to have acted wrongfully outside the scope of his or her employment, for example, in committing a crime or deliberate act which is intended to harm another person or damage property.
KFHP's protection of the above mentioned employees is financially secured through a combination of self insurance reserves which are actuarially determined and recorded as liabilities on KFHP's balance sheet, and excess professional liability insurance policies which are underwritten by credit worthy commercial insurers and reinsurers.
Professional Liability Insurance covers residents while they are on residency duties in Kaiser Foundation Hospitals or a designated training site in California. This coverage does not include professional workoutside of the residency program or volunteer activities without prior written approval of the Director of Graduate Medical Education. Any employee is free to obtain professional liability insurance if desired, but the cost of such independently purchased must be borne by the employee.

From:http://residency.kp.org/scal/residency/internalmed/facilities.html
“The Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center (LAMC) is a multi-specialty teaching hospital located in Hollywood, California. We provide training to approximately 210 residents and fellows in 20 programs. The 465-bed medical center is the tertiary referral hospital for three million Kaiser Permanente members.
As a major teaching hospital for UCLA, Kaiser Permanente offers an unparalleled diversity of patients spanning from primary care to complex tertiary cases. Our patient population reflects Southern California –39 percent Caucasian, 29 percent Latino, 15 percent African-American, and 14 percent Asian. Eighteen percent of our admissions are indigent, county-hospital patients.”
“belonging to the third level of sophistication of development, such as a tertiary health care facility” {medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/tertiary}
Educate yourself, expose and confront. Jupirena Stein “Evil Prevails when the good people remain silent or take no action.”
Kaiser Permanente is a HMO and they are primarily a TEACHING HOSPITAL.
That’s right! A teaching hospital that offers the bodies of ALL their patients to any doctor enrolled in their GME Program to use them as they see fit to “learn/practice medicine.”
Kaiser Permanente has a program which is funded by 2 federal grants named
GME Program.
GME stands for GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION.
It is under this program that YOU will get your PAID medical care from Kaiser.
After they are done practicing in your body, 2 things will invariably happen.
1- If their practice on your body makes you sick, they will lie to you, NEVER telling you the truth and that includes ALL other doctors at Kaiser Permanente.
2- The doctor that practiced on your body without your consent, as you sleep under general anesthetic and with no regards for your life, will get promoted by Kaiser, will get more benefits for himself and his family, a better place in society and of course more money at the end of the month. So… now you are sick, and have an up hill battle to fight.
One day you learn that there is a company called ACGME ( Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.) and they are the ones that accredits Kaiser Permanente’s GME Program. www.acgme.org
You run to your computer and read:
“The mission of the ACGME is to improve health care by assessing and advancing the quality of resident physicians’ education through accreditation.”
You immediately gather documents and ask them politely,… please, look into my concerns…”
I did just that. Will the ACGME take any action against the very program that injured you? Of course not! And… how about the patients that were actually killed, will their families get any answers from the ACGME? Of course not.
Kaiser THRIVES. Yes they do!
They thrive making money on investments with your monthly payment to them.
I leaned the truth behind Kaiser Permanente’s GME Program/patients medical care. We, the patients pay them every month at the same time giving them permission to use your body.
I now barely survive after I was severely injured under Kaiser Permanente’s GME PROGRAM.
Throughout the past 10 years I dedicate my efforts to, -little by little find out the “secrets” that Kaiser Permanente’s GME Program criminals/doctors left in my body for me to find out on my own. See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMXN1wUaQnU
DON’T EVER FORGET…
Teaching Hospital, Your money … GME Program - Graduate Medical education
Meanwhile Dr Timothy Wilfred Wild is thriving with Kaiser. These are his own words:
“Since April 2004, I have been Chief of Head and Neck Surgery. I would never work for any other health organization. I strongly believe in what Kaiser Permanente stands for and am very proud to be a physician for the health plan as well as a member.”

Protect your and your family’s life/health. Don’t trust Kaiser Permanente! Jupirena Stein March 2009
