Witness my hand and official seal of office at Carlisle, Penns'lva~ia this 25th day of February, 1994. ;:Zra:d~L:~i~~~~~ Clerk of Or.phans' Court Division Cumberland County Carlisle,Pa. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 4 o And your office is looated at? A 108 Lowther Street in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania. o And you are part of a group of physioians known as? A Internists of Central Pennsylvania. o Your speoialty is internal medioine? A Yes, we're all board oertified or board eligible practitioners of internal medioine. o You're on the staff of some hospitals. Could you tell the Court what hospitals YOll are on staff of? A I'm on staff at Harrisburg, Mechaniosburg and Holy Spirit Rehab. o Very briefly your education and training, undergraduate degree? A undergraduate from Penn State, graduated in '72. Medical sohool, University of pittsburgh and graduated '76. Three years of training at Harrisburg Hospital for residency in internal medicine. o Are you familiar with Alfred Wohler? A Yes, I am. o Is he a patient of your offioe? A Yes, he's been actually a patient of this praotice since at least November of 1990. He had previously been seen by Dr. Schreiber, and llIost rscently I've seen him in Holy Spirit Hospital. 5 1 2 3 .4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 o Over the last month, how frequently have you seen Mr. Wohler? A On the average? o Approximately? A Approximately over the last month I have probably seen him about 60 percent of the days up until the time that he was discharged from Holy Spirit. o On November 13th, 1993 he had surgery performed at Harrisburg Hospital. Are you familiar with that surgery? A We were not particularly involved with that surgery, although I do have some records with respect to that surgery. Q Was that the surgery where he had an ileostomy performed? A I think that most recent surgery involved -- now, once again, I don't have Harrisburg Hospital records from that stay. But I believe he did have a ileostomy at that time, as well as a placement of a peg tube. Q What is a peg tube? A That's a tube which allows one to feed an individual directly through the -~ into the stomach. Q What is an ileostomy? A An ileostomy is usually done in conjunction with a complete colectomy in that the removal of the large 1 2 3 4 5 6 '/ 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 .' .,,-.... 25 6 oolon and then the end of the small oolon is brought to the surfaoe of the abdomen and a pouoh is plaoed. And the -- and the feces in a semi-liquid form i& stored in a bag that is attached to the abdominal wall. Q Can you tell us what illnesses Mr. Wohler suffers from, and what his diagnosis has been unde~ your oare? A He has a number of illnesses at this time. He has a history of crones disease, which is what most likely prompted his various colon surgeries. He also has a -- somethlng oalled a non-corioform movement disorder, whioh has to do with neurological impairments. lie also has an inability to swallow properly, which is the reason that the tube was plaoed into his stomaoh. He also has some difficulties in terms of his ability to follow through in term of his medioal oare, whioh is something I'm sure you'll be bringing up. Q He was released either from Harrisburg Hoapital or the rehab hospital about February 14th and taken to Fairview Village Nursing Home. Were you familiar with that transfer? A Urn-hum. Q He was -- A What happened was he was transferred from Harrisburg to the rehab hospital where he received 7 1 physical therapy because of his weakened and deconditioned 2 state. They got him to a point where they felt he had 3 progressed as far as he was going to, and subsequently he 4 was to have been traneferred from rehab to E'airview 5 Nursing Horne, actually I guess it's called Fairview 6 village or Fairview Retirement Center, at this time. 7 When he arrived at Fairview he stated that he 8 would not stay, and he insisted on being taken home as 9 there wa~ some confusion on everybody's part at that time 10 because this was an unexpected event. 11 He ultimately was transferred home and attempts 12 were made to arrange for visiting nurses and home care on 13 the spur of the moment. And they, in fact, did arrange 14 that, and he did well for several days. 15 However, following that he began making it 16 difficult for the aides and the nurses to get in to see 17 him. And secondhand information tells me that he would 18 not unlock the doors to allow the nurses to oome in. The 19 nurseR at one point apparently had to crawl in through a 20 window in order to get in to take care of him. And I 21 believe at that time that the Agency on Aging stepped in. 22 Q He was eventually taken to Holy Spirit Hospital 23 on February 18, 1994 pursuant to a court order. Did you 24 then treat him when he carne to the hospital, or did 25 somebody in your practice treat him? 8 1 A We have a practice so that you rotate working 2 in the hospital. So the practice treated him. I saw him 3 the majority of time because of the way the rotation was 4 at that juncture. But yes, I admitted him to the 5 hospital, and I saw him most of his stay. 6 Q Now, the Office of Aging in the petition has 7 alleged that they discovered certain conditions or B problems on February 1Bth. And they're set forth here on 9 this sheet, which is from the petition. Are you familiar 10 with these items listed as A, B, e and 01 11 A I'm -- I have not aotually seen this particular 12 sheet before, but it certainly would oorrelate with his 13 condition on admission. 14 Q First one being for the record that he tampered 15 with the p~g tube resulting in no tube feeding intake 16 since his discharge from the hospital on February 14, 17 1994. Did you confirm that finding when you treated him? 1B A Well, when he came in he was certainly 19 severely, severely dehydrated, which would correlate quite 20 well. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't eaten 21 or had not received sustenance for longer than that. And 22 certainly I heard from the visiting nurses that he had 23 declined the receipt and use of the tube feeding. 24 Q Did he fail to apply hygienic care to the 25 ileostomy bag? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 9 A From what I had heard from the visiting nurses, when he was found he was found in a very non-hygenio state with large amounts of the oontents of the lleostomy bag all over him. Q It says here that he also lost a total of six pounds between February 16th and 18th thus reducing his total weight to approximately 98 pounds on a 6 foot 2 inoh frame? A Yes, he was severely malnourished when he was admitted. He was extremely dry. It says BUN was in excess of 100. Normally that should be 20. So he was extremely dehydrated, and he was very, very -- his blood protein level was low, whioh would also go along with the faot that this is a severe condition. Q You testified that he suffers from orones disease. Could you briefly explain what that is and what the symptoms are? A Crones disease is a oondition where the -- actually no one knows the exact oause of crones, but it is a condition where the body attaoks your large intestine, all immune diseases assooiated with inflammation of the large oolon, and results in destruotion of the large colon as well as the body's inability to absorb certain nutrients and fluids from the intestinal traok. It can also be assooiated with an arthritis, some involvement of ! '"t' 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 I 'l..,i 10 the eyes. But the primary affects are in the large oolon. Q Now that hie large oolon has been removed, what affeot will this disease have on him, and what is his prognosis? A Now that the large oolon has been removed, often times that results in a reduotion in the severity of the symptoms of orones. Obviously if the large colon is no 10ngeI there, then you're not going to have problems with recurrent bleeding. You're not going to have problems with recurrent bouts of severe watery diarrhea. The bad news is the that crones disease can affect the small intestine occasionally, and he has continued to have episodes of GI bleeding even after his large colon was removed. Q Can this possibly affect him in a psychologioal way such that it affeots his ability to reason? A Any ohronic illness, especially if it's assooiated with malnutrition, can result in an individuals inability to reason. It's possible that the amount of malnutrition that he had on presentation could be related to his crones, and in turn oould have affected his abili.ty to care for himself. Q What about his ability to eat and swallow food? You discussed that there was a peg tube inserted in him. 11 1 Is that centered around the swallowing problem or eating 2 problem? 3 A Originally it was placed because -- at least 4 from a note that I can go over, and I don't have all his 5 charts. Originally it was placed because he was not 6 eating well at rehab and at Harrisburg. But while he was 7 at Holy Spirit we had speech pathology evaluate him, and 8 they're the individuals who specialize in swallowing 9 ability. And what they found was that it was not so much 10 that he didn't want to eat, it was that if he did eat, he 11 would aspirate. In other words, contents of the food 12 bolus would end up in his lungs rather than in his 13 stomach. 14 For that reason he really should not be 15 swallowing at all. He should be relying on the peg 16 feeding in order to maintain his nutritional and fluid 17 status. 18 Q Can he, on his own, provide the peg feedings, 19 or does he need the assistance of a nurse or some health 20 care professional? 21 A He has not demonstrated the wherewithal during 22 the short time that he was at home, nor based on his 23 activities in the hospital, he has not demonstrated the 24 ability to master the task in preparing his peg feedings 25 and ensuring that he gets the proper amounts of calories 12 l.: 1 and liquids, pr.oteins and that sort of thing. 2 Q What about his ability to care for the 3 ileoston~? Has he shown any ability to do that while he 4 was at the hospital? 5 A He really did not demonotrate any interest 6 whatsoever in helping care for it at the hospital. And 7 most individuals who do have the ileostomy while they're 8 in the hospital for other illnesses do take care of their 9 own ileostomy. And he did not demonstrate any interest in 10 doing so, and I don't frankly think he is capable of 11 following that multi-step procedure that would be involved 12 in caring for an ileostomy. 13 Q Now, you talked about him having a movement 14 disorder, Is this something ro:c which you provided any 15 treatment for him? 16 A No, it's not something that can be treated. 17 Q Can he drive? Do you think? 18 A I don't think he's capable of driving safely. 19 Q Do you think he's capable of improving to the 20 point that he can drive? 21 A It is possible. If this is due to a 22 malnutrition, it is possible that with time he may be able 23 to improve to the point that he could drive. I would 24 certainly want him thoroughly tested by a physiotrist 25 prior to his driving. (-, ( 14 that beoause it's hearsay. Dr. Moola's not here today and obviously present today, but I note my objection for the record. Q Dr. Moola will be testifying at the hearing to confirm this. You ooncurrent your opinion? A It's really very interesting because if you talk to him for brief periods of time, it seems as if he's aware of what's going on. And he'll give short answers that appear to be well connected, but the longer you talk to him, the more in-depth you speak with him, the more complex a decision you ask him to make, the more obvious it is that he oannot get beyond going from step A to step B. He's okay with step A, but you start adding interim steps, you start addi~g more complioated prooedures, he can't maintain his ooncentration and his train of thought to follow through. Q And when he was ready to be disoharged from the hospital, what were your reoommendations for after care? Did you have a specific type facility that you recommended? A We wanted him to be ln a situation where he could be monitored on a 24-hour a day basis because of several things that were ongoi.ng. One is that he did have several bouts of GI bleeding, gastrointestinal, bleeding 1 2 3 4 5 6 "/ 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 , ) ....~-- 25 15 while he was in the hospital that we never, in spite of a thorough work up, two thorough work ups, we never found an exaot source for that. And it's something which could occur again. So he needs to be monitored for that. No.2, he showed no ability or interest in maintaining care of his ileostomy for hygienic purposes. That's something which he needed help with. And he also showed no ability with respect to his nutritional status in terms of being able to take care of his tube feedings. He additionally kept trying to eat in spite of the fact that we had told him that he was incapable of doing so. And we, in fact, kind of had to compromise and allow him to eat pureed foodB under supervised conditions. Q lias he shown a w'ulingness to leave and go to a nursing home? A During -- early on during the hospital stay that changed daily, and it changed depencu'ng on which observer was in with him. It would change from moment to moment dS to whether he would agree to go to a nursing home, which nursing home he was going to go to, and which one would be acceptable and which would not. Toward the end of the hospital stay he had come to an agreement that he would indeed go to Leader. He would stay at Leader. And he seemed more accepting of that decision. Q I'll ask you to review Pennsylvania's 16 ".,' 1 definition of an incapaoitated person. I'm going to ask 2 you, based upon your training and experienoe, whether you 3 think he is an incapaoitated person? 4 A Based on his oondition when he was in Holy 5 Spirit Hospital up until his disoharge when I last saw him 6 in mid-Maroh, I would oonsider him to be inoapacHated. 7 Q Do you believe that his condition will improve? 8 A I would be surprised if it improved, but it 9 oould improve. As I mentioned earlier, some of the 10 problems that he has with his reasoning and cognitive 11 function could be related to a malnutritional state. And 12 it is possible that with continued tube feeding and 13 vitamin supplements and that sort of thing that he could 14 regain some of his mental funotion. 15 Q Do you believe he could regain his functioning 16 to the level that he would understand his limitations and 17 be able to procure help for those that suoh as maybe a 18 home health care service and visiting nurse? 19 A Once again, I'd be surprised if that oocurred, 20 but it is something that only time is going to tell. It's 21 something that needs to be reasaessed per.iodioally in the 22 future to see what ki.nd of progress he's making. 23 MR. DeLUCE I I have no further questions. 24 CROSS-EX~INATION 25 BY MR. SHEELYl I. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 , I 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 17 Q Doctor, my name is Andy Sheely, and I am the court appointed attorney for Alfred Wohler. Mr. Wohler is noted as currently located at the Leader East Nursing Care Facility in Harrisburg, Dauphin County, and my questions are going to be limited to the time frame from ~'ebruary 18th, 1994 to the present. Before we go into that I'd just like to ask you a couple questions about your qualifications. What is your primary practice? A Primary practice is internal medicine, which is to grown-ups what pediatricians are to children. We basically take care of the whole person with respect to medication, with respect to diagnostic evaluation for individuals between the age of approximately 14 and 102, 103. Q What specific licenses do you carry as that professional? A It would be -- I have an MD, Pennsylvania which is actually all you really need. For internist you need a three-year residency training program in internal medicine. Additionally, I became boarded by the American Board of Internal Medicine in 1979. And I am board certified. Q Do you have any qualifications in the area of psychiatry? A No, I do not. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 o 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 18 Q Do you have any qualifications in the area of psychology? A No, other than, you know, the fact that you deal with internal medicine. Some individuals have said it is 50 percent psychological in terms of the types of complaints the patients have and what you're dealing with. An individual in medicine you have to be able to deal with the whole person, which is also the use of psychology and psychiatry. But have I received formal training in terms of a residency program in psychiatry or psychology? The answer is no. o Are you qualified to, in your opinion, give an opinion as to whether or not Mr. Wohler is, in fact, incapacitated, beyond a reasonable degree of medical certainty? A There are certain individuals that I would feel comfortable in making that decision. My evaluation of him upon his presentation I would feel comfortable in saying that he was not competent. Q Turning to February 18th, 1994, that was the day that Mr. Wohler was admitted into Holy Spirit Hospital. When did you first see, treat, him after or on that date? A You mean the time of day? o Yes. 20 1 Not right now. Q 2 Also the surgeons, Dr. MoLaughlin, who was the A 3 gastroenterologist saw him. And the surgioal group, the 4 Kunkle Group, had several physioians who aleo saw him. 5 Q When was the last date that you saw Mr. Wohler in Holy well, at Holy Spirit? A The day he was disoharged. Q ~Ihen was that? A Was that the about a week ago, 17th, I 6 7 8 9 10 believe, 17th of March. 11 Q And have you seen him at all since he has been 12 transferred to the Leader East facility? ,,-" (.) 13 14 A No, I have not. Q I'm going to show you what I'll mark as 15 Defendant's Exhibit No.1, or I'm not sure how to do that. 16 Is that your handwriting? 17 18 A Yes, it is. Q Would you explain to me what that -- what this 19 is, explain what this exhibit is? 20 A Thls is a copy of a admisslon progress note for 21 the individuals who are transferred from the hospital to 22 the nursing homa, and for whom we Bee that same day in the 23 hospital. We will do these, the paperwork, for the I! ,.' ,-..,-' 24 nursing home, since H's basically doing the paperwork to 25 aocompany the patient to the nursing home. And a progress 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 " '" ) " 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 23 Mr. Wohler to do that he has refused to do recently? A No. o Is Mr. Wohler able to communicate his decisions to you, his opinions to you? A Yes, he is. o He can state to you -~ A He can answer yes, no. He responds to queotions. o Does he know where he is when you speak to him? A Superficially, yeah, he does know. He is oriented to place. At least he was when he was in the hospital. Sometimes with a shift of locations, they may become temporarily confused. But at the time he was discharged, he was oriented to person and place. Sometimes he'd be off a little bit on the date, but in the hospital that's not unusual. o Is Mr. Wohler capable of advising health care providers of what his current needs are? A Sometimes. I mean, he would advise them that he was in need of food and drink even though he had been told multiple times that he was not able to drink or eat because the food would go down the wrong tube. So, I mean, he could -- he could express a need, but that need may not be what he really needed. o Is he able to go to the bathroom on his own? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 (~) 13 ...., 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 27 he became more willing to accept our inetructions with respect to his ability to eat food, although he still kept sneaking food or liquid when he could. But giving up swallowing is something that's very difficult to do. He was on medication. He was transferred on medication. Q Was he on, I believe, Haldol, I believe, was what was prescribed? A You're testing my memory here. I have it here. He was on Haldol. Although on the advice of the psychiatrist, we are in the process of tapering that. And he was also on Lorazepam, which is a hypnotic-related distantly related to Valium. And it was after he had been on those two medications in combination with the rehydraUon and increased calorie intake that he seemed to become more compliant. Q Is your office still handling his treatment even though he's at Leader East, or has he been transferred to another physician? A No, he's still on our office services as far as I know. Q Does somebody vidt with him on a periodic basis? A Yes, Q You just haven't seen him since March 17th when he was discharged? J. '''1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 :~) I ....... ."...-. ...._4'...."._, . O. '" ~ '. 28 A Right. Now, he'll be seen, as a nursing home patient, he would be se~n every month. And more often if he has problems. MR.

If you want it, that's fine. I RECROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. SHEELYI Q A couple quick follow ups. You treated his physical condition, correctr A Yes.
