A superior court judge presided over a medical malpractice case I brought against a doctor who operated on 20 of the wrong parts of my body, including the wrong leg. I was mutilated by this guy. He even carved X's into my hips, operated on my knees without my consent, and even operated in my genital area without reason or consent, but the judge ignored all the evidence against the doctor, and the doctor's lawyer didn't even bother to present any evidence refuting all my evidence, and they presented no affirmative evidence as to why he should have operated on all these unauthorized parts. They just gave a blanket statement denying my allegations. The doctor's own records proved he did the wrong surgery.
But the judge ruled against me anyway, never mentioning what the doctor did to me, he just talked about what I did to the doctor - that I picketed outside his office (I did this legally) and I sometimes referred to the doctor by his last name instead of calling him Dr. ___. The judge apparently thinks that's worse than mutilating my body. This judge treated me like an uppity woman daring to bring down this "great" doctor.
When I picketed the doctor, six women stopped their cars and came up to me and thanked me for what I was doing, telling me that they or someone they knew was also damaged by this doctor. And I found a woman who successfully sued him in 1997 for damaging parts of her body that he was not supposed to work on, just like he did to me.
The judge also ignored the fact that my lawyer waived my right to a jury trial behind my back, which I didn't find out about until I got the judge's preliminary ruling, saying I "freely and intelligently waived my right to a jury trial. My lawyer had told me that for the first part of this bifurcated trial, that I didn't have the choice of a jury. I sent the judge proof of my lawyer's deception before he made his final ruling, but he said in his final ruling that he was satisfied that I knowingly waived my right to a jury trial.
The judge knew I couldn't afford to appeal. I had most of the filing fees waived because I was broke. So he knew he could make the most outrageous ruling and that I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. (I was quoted by several lawyers that it would cost about $40K for an appeal).
I have already had 3 operations and 7 other medical procedures to fix the doctor's mistakes, I need at least 3 more surgeries, and it is not known if my knees or other parts will ever be fixed. My life has been destroyed, I lost my business because I have been so depressed, and I am in almost constant pain because of what that butcher did to my knees, but I will never be able to get any compensation because of what this judge did. The judge also ruled that I had to pay the doctor's attorney's fees of almost $9000, and I eventually had to file for bankruptcy because of this.
And as if this weren't enough, later, when I posted on the Internet about how the doctor lied under oath to get a restraining order against me, the judge threatened to throw me in jail for five days for contempt if I didn't remove that post. I spoke with five lawyers, including a constitutional specialist, and they all were baffled by what this judge was doing to me. They all said that what I had posted what not in violation of the judge's ruling that I not discuss the medical malpractice case. But I didn't have enough money to continue fighting, so I had to remove that post.
I was very suspicious of the judge, and when I did a search on him on the internet, I discovered that he went to Stanford with the doctor, they are the same age, and they live close to each other, and have for at least 20 years. I know this is not proof that they are friends, but I can't afford the thousands it would cost to hire a private investigator.
The surgery was in November of 2001; the judge's ruling in the malpractice case was April of 2005, and the judge forced me to remove the post on the internet in the summer of 2006. Is there anything I can do about either of these evil and corrupt men? Thank you.
