Subject: Arkansas Continued Care Hospital
Jonesboro, Arkansas

I apologize for the lack of organization - I have been working on it for more than a year and was not quite ready to send it. Due to my diminished life expectancy and other developments it may be not quite as coherently organized as it should be.

About three years ago I was hospitalized at the Arkansas Continued Care Hospital in Jonesboro. I escaped with my life only because my family members became conceerned and removed me over the strenuous objections of the doctor. I do not just suspect that others have not been so fortunate and have perished there due to the malfeasance of the operators - I am 100% convinced of it.

I have already prepared material for the state medical boards and my insurance and will be sending those at the same time this letter is sent. I am also 100% convinced that my treatment was part of deliberate fraud.

I believe that you should look at deaths at that hospital during the few years it has been in business and investigate any suspicious (less than average life expenctancy) deaths. This is a long-term care facility and deaths should be relatively rare as it does not provide critical care - patients at risk of death should be sent back to a critical care hospital.

I recently learned that the hospital ceased operation and is being acquired by another health care company (Methodist Family Health) which has a bad reputation as and looks much like the Ascent Children's Health Services I refer to. I suspect that this may be the operators be covering their tracks as the hospital is the defendant in several lawsuits including wrongful death. I will not be at all surprised if that facility is soon open under a new name with James Cox running it.
