COMPLAINT - CIVIL ACTION
1. Plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft, is an individual and citizen of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and resides at 436 Parkside Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011.
2. Defendant, John R. Dailey, M.D., is an individual and citizen of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and was qualified to do business in Pennsylvania. Defendant, John R. Dailey,
M.D. maintains a place of business at 1857 Center Street, Cam p Hill, PA 17011.
3. Defendant, Dailey Eye Associates, is a corporation and/or partnership licensed to do
business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Defendant, Dailey Eye Associates maintains a
place of business at 1857 Center Street, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011 and provided medical
services to patients such as Dorothy Kraft.
4. At all times relevant hereto, defendants acted by and through each other and were at
all times material hereto, agents, servants and employees of each other, providing eye care to
plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft.
At all times relevant hereto, defendants acted by and through their respective agents
(actual and/or ostensible), servants, workmen, and employees agents in providing eye care services
to Dorothy Kraft.
6. In or about December 1998, plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft, came under the care of John R.
Dailey, M.D. and Dailey Eye Associates.
7. On or about April 25, 2005, plaintiff underwent cataract surgery on her right eye.
8. After the surgery, plaintiff noted a spot in her temporal vision on the right side, and
was found to have a posterior vitreous detachment. At her follow-up for the posterior vitreous
detachment, on July 12, 2005, plaintiff noted a new symptom of fuzziness in her central vision with
a "flashbulb" appearance a times. Plaintiff was found to have 20/20 acuity, however, her retinal
-2-
;,
examination showed an area in the macular papular bundle that looked like a branch retinal artery
occlusion.
9. On July 15, 2005, plaintiff was referred to Michael J. Banach, M.D., for work-up of
the branch retinal artery occlusion. Dr. Banach confirmed the presence of a large cotton wool spot
of ischemia in the plaintiff's macula. The two most likely explanations of this finding were a branch
retinal artery occlusion and hypertensive retinopathy.
10. Neither of these conditions were addressed by Dr. Dailey, resulting in retinal damage
which was first noted by plaintiff's primary care physician six weeks after surgery and a month after
plaintiff's first complaint of a cloudy spot in her vision.
11. Defendants' conduct increased the risk of harm to plaintiff and such harm occurred.

respects:

and/or subsequent to surgery;
b. Failing to provide timely, appropriate and necessary care and treatment to

pleasures, the need for medical care and cost of medical care, embarrassment and humiliation all to
her great detriment and loss.

Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), plus fees, costs and delay damages.

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANTS JOHN R. DAILEY, M.D., AND
DAILEY EYE ASSOCIATES TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
PURSUANT TO PA.R.C.P. NO. 1028(a)(2)
1. Plaintiff commenced the above-captioned action by Writ of Summons and
filed her Complaint on or about March 14, 2007. The Complaint was served on or about
April 17, 2007. A copy of said Complaint is attached hereto, incorporated herein by
reference and marked as Exhibit A.
2. The Complaint alleges generally that Defendants, John R. Dailey, M.D. and
Dailey Eye Associates (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Dr. Dailey'), were
negligent in providing or failing to provide medical treatment to Plaintiff.
3. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(2) permits the filing of preliminary objections for the
failure of a pleading to conform to the Rules of Court.
4. In paragraph 4 of her Complaint, Plaintiff alleges:
At all times relevant hereto, defendants acted by and through each other
and were at all times material hereto, agents, servants and employees of
each other, providing eye care to plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft.
5. In paragraph 5 of her Complaint, Plaintiff alleges:
At all times relevant hereto, defendants acted by and through their
respective agents (actual and/or ostensible), servants, workmen, and
employees agents in providing eye care services to Dorothy Kraft.
6. In paragraph 13 of her Complaint, Plaintiff alleges:
Defendants, John R. Dailey, M.D. and Dailey Eye Associates, individually
and by and through their respective agents (ostensible and/or actual),
servants, workmen, and employees were jointly and/or severally
negligent in the care and treatment of Dorothy Kraft in the following
respects:
(a) failing to diagnose and appropriately treat plaintiff's condition
before, during and/or subsequent to surgery;
(b) failing to provide timely, appropriate and necessary care and
treatment to plaintiff before, during and/or subsequent to surgery;
(c) failing to properly and timely diagnose plaintiff's conditions
and failing to properly and timely treat plaintiff's conditions.
7. Plaintiff's Complaint, as a whole, fails to specify exactly what it is that Dr.
Dailey allegedly did wrong and when it was that the alleged wrong occurred. ("before,
during and/or subsequent to surgery.") Indeed, the Complaint gives no meaningful
indication as to exactly what it is that Dr. Dailey is being called upon to defend against.
8. Plaintiff does not specifically allege the identity, or otherwise attempt to allege
the identity, of any unnamed individual, nor does she allege what each such individual
did or failed to do, or which act, or failure to act, was negligent.
9. The foregoing paragraphs of Plaintiff's Complaint fails to conform to case law
and Pa. R.C.P. No. 1019(a) in that Plaintiff fails to specifically identify the individuals
who acted on behalf of Dailey Eye Associates or the specific acts, or failure to act, for
which each unnamed individual is allegedly responsible. Accordingly, the
aforementioned paragraphs of Plaintiff's Complaint are properly stricken pursuant to
Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(2), or in the alternative, Plaintiff should be required to file a more
specific pleading pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(3).
WHEREFORE, Defendants, John R. Dailey M.D. and Dailey Eye Associates,
prays this Honorable Court enter an Order pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(2)
striking paragraphs 4, 5 and 13 of Plaintiff's Complaint, or in the alternative, requiring
Plaintiff to file a more specific pleading pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(3).

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
ANSWER AND NEW MATTER OF DEFENDANTS, JOHN R. DAILEY, M.D. AND
DAILEY EYE ASSOCIATES, (HEREINAFTER COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO
AS "DR. DAILEY") TO PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED COMPLAINT
Denied. After a reasonable investigation, Dr. Dailey is without knowledge or
information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments of this paragraph of Plaintiff's
Complaint and, therefore, the said averments are denied.
2. Admitted.
3. Denied as stated. By way of accurate answer, Dailey Eye Associates is a
professional corporation licensed under the laws of Pennsylvania and located at 1857 Center Street,
Camp Hill, PA 17011 and, through its employed physicians, provided eye care to Plaintiff, Dorothy
Kraft.
4. Denied.
5. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that at the times specified in
Plaintiff's Complaint, Dr. Dailey acted in the course of his employment through Dailey Eye

to Plaintiff's Complaint are denied as Dr. Dailey does not know what it is that Plaintiffs are alleging.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted.
8-9. Denied. The averments of these paragraphs of Plaintiff's Complaint are generally
denied in accordance with Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure No. 1029(e).
10-11. Denied. The averments of this paragraph of the Plaintiff's Complaint recite
medical and legal conclusions to which no response is required. It is averred, however, that at all
times and for all purposes relevant to his professional involvement in this matter, Dr. Dailey acted
appropriately and in a fashion commensurate with standards of ophthalmology care applicable under
similar circumstances and he in no way negligently or otherwise caused or contributed to cause or
increased the risk of causing any injury or damage to Plaintiff.
COUNT I.
PLAINTIFF, DOROTHY KRAFT V. ALL DEFENDANTS,
JOHN R. DAILEY, M.D. AND DAILEY EYE ASSOCIATES
12. Dr. Dailey incorporates herein by reference his answers to paragraphs I-11 above
as if the same were set forth in their entirety.
13a-c. Denied. The averments of this paragraph and subparagraphs of the Plaintiff's
Complaint recite medical and legal conclusions to which no response is required. It is averred,
however, that at all times and for all purposes relevant to his professional involvement in this matter,
Dr. Dailey acted appropriately and in a fashion commensurate with standards of ophthalmology care
applicable under similar circumstances and he in no way negligently or otherwise caused or
contributed to cause or increased the risk of causing any injury or damage to Plaintiff.
14. Denied. The averments of this paragraph of Plaintiff's Complaint recite medical
and legal conclusions to which no response is required. It is averred, however, that at all times and
for all purposes relevant to his professional involvement in this matter, Dr. Dailey acted
appropriately and in a fashion commensurate with standards of ophthalmology care applicable under
similar circumstances and he in now way negligently or otherwise caused or contributed to cause or
increased the risk of causing any injury or damage to Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, John R. Dailey, M.D. and Dailey Eye Associates, demand
judgment in their favor together with costs and reasonable attorney's fees associated with being
compelled to defend against this frivolously filed lawsuit.
NEW MATTER
15. Plaintiff's Complaint, in whole or in part, fails to state causes of action cosignable
under Pennsylvania Law.
16. To the extent applicable and to the extent that it may later prove to be applicable,
Defendants plead the statute of limitations referable to personal injury action in Pennsylvania to
preserve this affirm defense for the record.
17. At all times and for all purposes relevant to his professional involvement in this
matter, Dr. Dailey acted appropriately and in a fashion commensurate with the standards of
ophthalmology care applicable under similar circumstances and he in no way negligently or
otherwise caused or contributed to cause or increased the risk of causing any injury or damage to
Plaintiff.
18. To the extent that discovery reveals, Defendants plead Plaintiff s
contributory/comparative negligence and/or assumption of risk to preserve these affirmative defenses
for the record.
19. Plaintiff's allegations of negligence as against Defendants are without reasonable
basis in fact or medicine and may constitute an abuse of civil process.
20. Defendants hereby plead all rights and defenses available under Pennsylvania's
Healthcare and Medical Malpractice Act.
21. Defendants hereby plead all rights and defenses available under the Medical Care
Availability and Reduction of Error Act, 40 P.S. § 1303 et seq.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, John R. Dailey, M.D. and Dailey Eye Associates, demand
judgment in their favor together with costs and reasonable attorney's fees associated with being

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY
Docket No. 07-1766
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY
AND NOW, come Defendants, John R. Dailey, M.D., and Dailey Eye Associates
("Moving Defendants"), by and through their counsel, Margolis Edelstein, to compel Plaintiff,
Dorothy Kraft ("Plaintiff'), to provide certain discovery, and aver the following in support
thereof :
1. The above-captioned medical professional liability action was initiated by Writ of
Summons, followed by a Complaint on or about March 14, 2007.
2. Following Preliminary Objections to Plaintiff's Complaint, an Amended
Complaint was filed on or about May 3, 2007. A copy of Plaintiff's Amended Complaint is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
By way of her Amended Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Moving Defendants
were negligent in failing to timely diagnose and treat her eye condition.
4. On or about June 6, 2007, Moving Defendants filed an Answer with New Matter
to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint denying any and all allegations of medical professional
liability.
5. By letter dated September 21, 2007, Moving Defendants served Plaintiff with a
second set of interrogatories. A copy of the September 21, 2007 letter and the interrogatories are
attached hereto collectively as Exhibit "B."
6. The second set of interrogatories seeks information with regard to the
identification of healthcare providers, the dates of such visits and the reasons therefore. In
addition, the second set of interrogatories seeks information regarding any brochures or literature
provided to Plaintiff by her healthcare providers.
7. The information requested by way of the second set of interrogatories is clearly
relevant to the instant medical professional liability action and is certainly discoverable pursuant
to Pa.R.C.P. No. 4003.1.
As set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 4006, a party has thirty (30) days to provide verified
answers to interrogatories. The thirty (30) day time period for Plaintiff's answers to the second
set of interrogatories expired on October 21, 2007.
9. By letter dated November 21, 2007, Moving Defendants again requested that
Plaintiff provide answers to the second set of interrogatories or face a motion to compel the
same. A copy of the letter of November 21, 2007 is attached hereto as Exhibit "C."
10. To date, Plaintiff has failed to provide any answers to the second set of
interrogatories or a reason for her failure to do so.
11. In addition, on September 18, 2007, Moving Defendants provided notice of intent
-2-
to serve a subpoena to produce documents upon Marietta Banogon, M.D. A copy of the notice is
attached hereto as Exhibit "D."
12. On October 8, 2007, when no objection had been received by Plaintiff's counsel, a
subpoena was served upon Dr. Banogon's practice, seeking Plaintiff's medical records. A copy
of the certificate prerequisite to the service of a subpoena is attached hereto as Exhibit "E."
13. Thereafter, Plaintiff's counsel apparently contacted Dr. Banogon's office directly
and informed them that the subpoena should not be honored and the requested documents should
not be released. A copy of a letter from Dr. Banogon's office to this effect, dated October 29,
2007 is attached hereto as Exhibit "F."
14. While Plaintiff s counsel has stated that the records from Dr. Baongon's office are
irrelevant to the current medical professional liability claim, Moving Defendants respectfully
disagree.
15. Plaintiff's eye condition, which is the subject of the instant litigation, may have
been affected by her blood pressure. While Dr. Baongon's office dealt with Plaintiff's
gynecology issues, it is not unreasonable to assume that vital signs were taken which could shed
light on Plaintiff's blood pressure during the relevant time period.
16. In addition, it is not unreasonable to believe that Plaintiff may have made
statements concerning her eye issues to Dr. Banogon, despite the fact that she was treating her for
unrelated issues.
17. In short, the only way to know whether Dr. Banogon's records contain relevant
information is to review the same. Plaintiff's counsel should not be permitted to make such a
determination unilaterally.
-3-
18. Plaintiff's failure to timely provide answers to the second set of interrogatories
and/or allow the release of Dr./ Banogon's records prejudices Moving Defendants by hampering
their ability to prepare a defense, particularly in light of the fact that Plaintiff's deposition is
scheduled for January 4, 2008.
19. Based upon the foregoing, Moving Defendants seek an Order from this Court,
pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No. 4019, compelling Plaintiff to provide full and complete answers to the
second set of interrogatories and a copy of Dr. Banogon's records within ten (10) days or suffer
sanctions upon further motion.
20. No judges have been assigned to this case, nor has any judge issued any rulings in
the case.
21. As set forth above, Plaintiff's counsel has refused to provide the discovery
requested and, therefore, clearly does not concur in the instant Motion.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, John R. Dailey, M.D., and Dailey Eye Associates,
respectfully request that this Honorable Court issue an Order compelling Plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft,
to provide full and complete answers to the second set of interrogatories and a copy of Dr.
Banogon's records within ten (10) days or suffer sanctions upon further motion.

AMENDED COMPLAINT - CIVIL ACTION
1. Plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft, is an individual and citizen of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and resides at 436 Parkside Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011.
2. Defendant, John R. Dailey, M.D., is an individual and citizen of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and was qualified to do business in Pennsylvania. Defendant, John R. Dailey,
M.D. maintains a place of business at 1857 Center Street, Cam p Hill, PA 17011.
3. Defendant, Dailey Eye Associates, is a corporation and/or partnership licensed to do
business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Defendant, Dailey Eye Associates maintains a
place of business at 1857 Center Street, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011 and provided medical
services to patients such as Dorothy Kraft.
4. At all times relevant hereto.,. defendants acted by and, through each other and were at
all times material hereto, agents, servants and employees of each other, providing eye care to
plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft.
5. At all times relevant hereto, defendants acted by and through their respective agents
(actual and/or ostensible), servants, workmen, and employees agents in providing eye care services
to Dorothy Kraft including the medical staff of Dr. Dailey and Dailey Eye Associates who either
cannot be identified in the office records due to illegibility or do not appear in the records at all.
6. In or about December 1998, plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft, came under the care of John R.
Dailey, M.D. and Dailey Eye Associates.
7. On or about April 25, 2005, plaintiff underwent cataract surgery on her right eye.
8. After the surgery, plaintiff noted a spot in her temporal vision on the right side, and
was found to have a posterior vitreous detachment. At her follow-up for the posterior vitreous
detachment, on July 12, 2005, plaintiff noted a new symptom of fuzziness in her central vision with
a "flashbulb" appearance a times. Plaintiff was found to have 20/20 acuity, however, her retinal
examination showed an area in the macular papular bundle that looked like a branch retinal artery
occlusion.
9. On July 15, 2005, plaintiff was referred to Michael J. Banach, M.D., for work-up of
the branch retinal artery occlusion. Dr. Banach confirmed the presence of a large cotton wool spot
of ischemia in the plaintiff s macula. The two most likely explanations of this finding were a branch
retinal artery occlusion and hypertensive retinopathy.
10. Neither of these conditions were addressed by Dr. Dailey, resulting in retinal damage
which was first noted by plaintiff's primary care physician six weeks after surgery and a month after
plaintiffs first complaint of a cloudy spot in her vision.
11. Defendants' conduct increased the risk of harm to plaintiff and such harm occurred.
COUNTI
PLAINTIFF, DOROTHY KRAFT V. ALL DEFENDANTS,
JOHN R. DAILEY, M.D. AND DAILEY EYE ASSOCIATES
12. The plaintiff incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 11 of the Complaint as if
the same were fully set forth at length herein.
13.. Defendants, John R. Dailey, M.D. and Dailey Eye Associates, individually and by
and through their respective agents (ostensible and/or actual), servants, workmen, and employees,
who are unidentifiable due to illegibility or failure to appear in the records, were jointly and/or
severally negligent in the care and treatment of Dorothy Kraft in the following respects:
a. Failing to diagnose and/or appropriately treat plaintiff s conditions including
elevated intraocular pressure and ocular hypertension before, during and/or subsequent to surgery;
b. . Failing to provide timely, appropriate and necessary care and treatment to
plaintiff before, during and/or subsequent to surgery including measures to lower the intraocular.
pressure and hypertension to prevent and/or treat the resulting macula injury, branch retinal vein
occlusion and/or hypertensive retinopathy;
C. Failing to properly and timely diagnose plaintiff s conditions and failing to
properly and timely treat plaintiffs conditions, including more post-operative visits in light of the
elevated pressure and hypertension present in plaintiff's eye, failure to timely , adequately and
appropriately provided post-operative care thus increasing the risk of harm.
14. As a result of the negligence of defendants, plaintiff has suffered, continues to suffer
and will in the future suffer pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, loss of life's
pleasures, the need for medical care and cost of medical care, embarrassment and humiliation all to
-her great detriment and loss.
WHEREFORE; plaintiff, Dorothy Kraft, hereby demands judgment against defendants, John
R. Dailey, M.D. and Dailey Eye Associates, jointly and/or severally, in an amount in excess of Fifty-
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), plus fees, costs and delay damages.

discovery.
3. On September 24, 2009, defense counsel filed a Praecipe for Listing Case for
Trial requesting that this Honorable Court issue an Order permitting counsel to place this matter

4. Due to some significant health issues involving plaintiff's counsel, this matter was
not praeciped by plaintiff's counsel, but was praeciped onto the trial list by defense counsel
unilaterally.
5. At no time did defense counsel consult with plaintiff's counsel regarding an
acceptable date for trial.
6. On or about September 28, 2009, plaintiff's counsel received notice from defense
counsel that he was placing this on the trial list beginning November 16, 2009.
7. On September 29, 2009, upon receipt of said notice, plaintiff's counsel forwarded
a letter to the attention of the Court regarding issues involving medical treatment that plaintiff's
counsel is attempting to schedule to resolve the health condition suffered by plaintiff's counsel.
9. To date, the Court has not issued an Order stating that this matter is, in fact, on the
trial list.
10. On October 21, 2009, defense counsel, after discussing this matter with plaintiff's
counsel, stated that he has no objection to this matter being removed from the trial list.
11. Unless and until this matter is moved from the trial list, plaintiff's counsel will not
be able to schedule the various treatments that need to be undergone to resolve plaintiff's
counsel's health condition.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court enter an Order
striking this matter from the trial list and directing that counsel confer and agree upon a new trial
date.
