COMPLAINT
1. Plaintiff Daniel J. Kitner is an adult individual who currently
resides at the Manor at Perry Village, 213 E. Main St., New Bloomfield,
Pennsylvania 17068.
2. Gary W. Kitner is an adult individual who currently resides at
7284 Spring Rd., Shermans Dale, Pennsylvania 17090. He is the
attorney-in-fact for Plaintiff Daniel J. Kitner.
i
3. Plaintiff Miriam Kitner is an adult individual who currently resides
at the Manor at Perry Village, 213 E. Main St., New Bloomfield,
Pennsylvania 17068. She is the wife of Plaintiff Daniel J. Kitner.
4. Defendant Moffitt Heart 8v Vascular Group, a Professional
Corporation, Moffitt Heart and Vascular Group -PHCVI, and Cardiology
Diagnostic Associates, LLC (hereinafter referred "Defendant Moffitt"), are
corporations providing cardiovascular testing and are located at 1000 N.
Front St., Wormleysburg, Pennsylvania 17043.
5. Defendant Pinnacle Health Cardiovascular Institute, Inc. is a
corporation that owns Moffitt Heart and Vascular Group -PHCVI.
6. Defendants Pinnacle Health System and Pinnacle Health Hospitals,
Inc. are corporations that own Pinnacle Health Cardiovascular Institute,
Inc. and Moffitt Heart and Vascular Group -PHCVI.
7. Defendant Mindi Fry, CRNP was involved in the care given Plaintiff
Daniel Kitner as a patient of Defendant Moffitt between July 6, 2011 and
July 14, 2011.
8. Defendant David Pawlush, M.D. was involved in the care given
Plaintiff Daniel Kitner as a patient of Defendant Moffitt between July 6,
2011 and July 14, 2011.
9. A professional liability claim is being made against the defendant
nurse, doctors, and Moffitt, and any of the corporations identified herein,
who claim to the legal status of a "health care provider" under Section
503 of the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error Act, 40 P.S. §
1303.503.
- _ ~ m,~,
10. The conduct giving rise to this medical malpractice liability claim
i
occurred in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
~i
11. Certificates of Merit against all Defendants are attached hereto as
Exhibit A.
12. Plaintiff, a healthy, 88 year old man, was living independently with
his wife, Miriam Kitner, who has Parkinson's disease and dementia.
Plaintiff was the sole caretaker of his wife.
13. Plaintiff was experiencing chronic pain in both of his knees and
was referred by his primary care physician, Dr. Bisbing, to Dr. Frankeny
of the Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania.
14. After speaking with Dr. Frankeny, Plaintiff decided to undergo an
elective total knee replacement in his left knee on July 13, 2011.
15. Dr. Bisbing referred Plaintiff to Defendant Moffitt for pre-operative
cardiac testing to determine whether Mr. Kitner was healthy enough to
undergo surgery.
16. Defendant Moffitt knew or should have known that the purpose of
the cardiac testing was pre-operative clearance for orthopedic surgery
under general anesthesia and knew or should have known the date of the
intended surgery was imminent.
17. On July 6, 2011, Defendant Mindi Fry, CRNP performed the EKG
and stress tests.
18. On July 7, 2011, Dennis Line, M.D., F.A.C.C. interpreted the EKG
and stress tests and did not indicate on his report, the presence of a
problem that required either further testing or delay of the surgery. This
_ i
report was sent to Dr. Bisbing and Dr. Frankeny who, based on this ~I
information, proceeded to perform Plaintiff's surgery.
19. On July 6, 2011, Defendant Mindi Fry, CRNP ordered and
performed a 24-hour Holter monitor test on Mr. Kitner. Her indications
for the Holter were recorded as "Chest Pain. SVT."
20. SVT, or supra ventricular tachycardia is a serious heart rhythm
abnormality. Neither Dr. Bisbing nor Dr. Frankeny were advised by Dr.
Lines' report of July 7, 2011 or by any other means that on July 6, 2011,
Mr. Kitner had a heart rhythm abnormality or symptoms sufficient to
warrant a Holter monitor, nor that Moffitt was conducting a 24-hour
Holter monitor test on Mr. Kitner on July 6, 2011, for whom Moffitt was
doing a "Pre -op for knee replacement" cardiac evaluation.
21. On July 7, 2011, the results of the Holter monitor test were
returned by Mr. Kitner to Moffitt. The Monitor strips showed significant
findings of atrial fibrillation, (AFib) which presents a very substantial risk
of perioperative stroke, and is universally considered a contraindication
for elective surgery.
22. From July 7, 2011 until July 14, 2011, neither Defendant David
Pawlush, M.D., who found Plaintiff's AFib, Defendant Mindi Fry who
ordered the Holter nor any other employee, agent, or ostensible agent of
Defendant Moffitt communicated the Holter monitor test results to
Plaintiff's surgeon or family doctor.
23. From July 7, 2011 until July 14, 2011, neither Defendant David
Pawlush, M.D. who found Plaintiff's AFib, Defendant Mindi Fry who
ordered the Holter nor any other employee, agent, or ostensible agent of
Defendant Moffitt actually read the Holter monitor test strips.
24. Without an inkling that this patient had coronary signs or
symptoms that warranted a Holter monitor, let alone that the Holter
monitor strips showed atrial fibrillation, Dr. Frankeny proceeded with
Mr. Kitner's knee surgery on the afternoon of July 13, 201 1.
25. Less than 12 hours post-surgery Mr. Kitner had a massive stroke
leaving him paralyzed and mentally incapacitated.
26. Mr. Kitner was cleared for surgery based on Dr. Line's report with
neither Dr. Frankeny nor Dr. Bisbing having any knowledge that a Holter
monitor was ordered or that it showed AFib.
27. Neither Dr. Frankeny nor Dr. Bisbing would have allowed Mr.
Kitner to undergo an elective knee replacement surgery on July 13,
2011, had they known that Holter monitor results were pending, or that
they showed atrial fibrillation.
28. On July 12, 2.011, Plaintiff Miriam Kitner was admitted to the
Manor at Perry Village, a nursing home in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania,
so that she could receive skilled care for her Parkinson's disease and
dementia while her husband was undergoing and recovering from
surgery.
29. As a direct result of all Defendants negligence as set forth below,
Plaintiff suffered a massive stroke on July 14, 2011.
30. Plaintiff remained at Holy Spirit Hospital until July 20, 2011.
31. Solely due to his stroke, Plaintiff now requires skilled care and he j
was admitted to the Manor at Perry Village, a nursing home in New Ili
Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, on July 20, 2011.
32. Plaintiff's wife remained at the Manor at Perry Village because
Plaintiff was no longer able to care for her at the family home.
33. As a direct result of Defendants' negligence, Plaintiff suffers from
right-sided hemiparesis, right hemisensory loss, global aphasia, and a
right facial droop.
34. As a direct result of Defendants' negligence, Plaintiff now requires
daily skilled nursing care.
35. As a direct result of Defendants' negligence, Plaintiff became
unable to provide daily care for his wife, thereby incurring the costs of
skilled nursing care for his wife at the Manor at Perry Village, which
would not have been necessary had he only had a knee replacement
surgery without a major stroke.
36. After exhaustion of Medicare nursing home benefits, Mr. and Mrs.
Kitner's personal assets including the value of the- family home have or
will be depleted to pay for the medical costs of sustaining their greatly
diminished existence.
37. These costs will continue to be incurred and the obligation of the
Plaintiff s or their estate will continue until both Mr. and Mrs. Kitner
pass away.
_ _ _ _ _
r
38. As a direct result of Defendants' negligence, Plaintiff underwent
great pain and suffering due to the accident, and may continue to ~I
undergo such pain and suffering in the future.
39. As a direct result of Defendant's negligence, Plaintiff suffered a
diminution of his ability to enjoy life and life's pleasures.
40. As a direct result of her husband's injuries, Plaintiff Miriam Kitner
has suffered a loss of his companionship, caretaking, guidance, and
consortium.

65. At all times relevant hereto, Answering Defendants acted within and followed the
precepts of a school of thought followed by a considerable number of qualified and well
respected specialists in the field and, accordingly, their professional conduct was fully
commensurate with the applicable standard of care. Evidence at trial may establish two or more
schools of thought applicable to the issues presented in this case.
66. In the event that it is determined that Answering Defendants were negligent with
regard to any of the allegations contained in and with respect to the Plaintiffs' Amended
Complaint, said allegations being specifically denied, discovery may establish that said
negligence was superseded by the intervening negligent acts of other persons, parties and/or
organizations other than Answering Defendants and over whom said Answering Defendants had
no control, right of control, or responsibility and, therefore, Answering Defendants are not liable.
67. To the extent that the evidence may show that other persons, partnerships,
corporations, or other legal entities caused or contributed to the injuries or the pre-existing
condition of the Plaintiffs, then the conduct of Answering Defendants was not the legal cause of
such conditions or injuries.
68. Answering Defendants raise all affirmative defenses of the Medical Care
Availability and Reduction of Error (M 'Care) Act aik/a Act 13 of 2002 as alimit/bar to
Plaintiffs' claims.
69. Answering Defendants incorporate the Stipulation of Counsel as filed with the
Court and as if set forth here and at length.
9
WHEREFORE, Answering Defendants deny any and all liability to any party
whatsoever, demand that the case be dismissed with prejudice, and that judgment be entered in
their favor.

I will provide the documents requested in your letter. I will also answer the interrogatories. I will
not provide authorizations for records. I will waive the 20 day rule for subpoenas to obtain
records. Miriam is a party. You can get the records by subpoena.
