Wong v. Glendale Adventist Medical Center CA2/8
Cecilia Hoh was just shy of her 90th birthday when she was admitted to Glendale Adventist Medical Center (Glendale Adventist), complaining of swelling and pain in her right foot. While at Glendale Adventist, Ms. Hoh was seen by Dr. Jilbert D. Issai and Dr. Kin C. Wong. After several days of treatment, Ms. Hoh passed away on August 27, 2011.
On August 23, 2013, Ms. Hoh’s nephew, Gregory Wong, and her sister, Mabel Hoh (collectively plaintiffs), filed a complaint stating claims for wrongful death and fraud against Glendale Adventist, Dr. Issai and Dr. Wong (collectively defendants). That original complaint was never served. On January 5, 2015, plaintiffs filed and served a first amended complaint that abandoned plaintiffs’ personal claims for wrongful death and fraud, and stated only a survivor claim on behalf of their decedent pursuant to the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (hereafter the Act; Welf. & Inst. Code, § 15600 et seq.).
