6 May 2016 - Scott Campbell - Christina Campbell vs. Kaiser Permanente Medical Group FACTS: Scott Campbell, age 42, was the patient of Dr. David Sullivan at Kaiser - Baldwin Hills. Although Campbell had several cardiac risk factors, including hypertension, overweight, smoker, and elevated cholestrol, Dr. Sullivan did not prescribe statin drugs that would have lowered cholestrol. In 2009, Campbell underwent a treadmill stress EKG which was negligently read as negative. Approximately six months later, he began having chest pain when resting and during exertion. A few days later, he was seen in Kaiser Urgent Care by Dr. Tran, who read the 6-month old stress EKG report, saw that it was normal, and decided that the chest pain was of a muscular, and not cardiac, origin. That night, however, Campbell died of a heart attack.6 May 2016 - TheTeresa Estrada Story - https://kaiserpapers.com/workcomp/teresa-estrada.html
