Donald Etra current attorney for Dr. Hoshang Pormir: still don't know about Ginsburg

UPDATED: Currently it Donald Etra is heading up Dr. Pormir's criminal elder abuse case, and William H Ginsburg is handling the medical board issues. It is still not clear how these attorneys have arrived here and what they are getting out of this as they have been quietly in the shadows watching the circus in town.

June 22, which was scheduled to be the preliminary hearing date will likely be continued as there are issues such as Director of Nursing, Gwen Hughes, another charged in the case, bankrupting.)

According to the felony department at the Kern County Superior Court, Donald Etra, the much talked about attorney, (actually I'm the only one doing the talking, but I can talk a lot) is relieving Dr. Hoshang Pormir's former criminal defense attorney, David Torres.

Although, I have tried for a week to contact both Mr. Etra and Mr. Ginsburg, I have not had an email or phone call returned, as of yet.

I wrote up a few questions and have sent them to Mr. Etra in hopes that we can get an understanding as to why high profile attorneys are at our doorstep.

But there are many doorsteps

We have no high profile attorney's helping the hospital reshape or reface it's scarred visage and there is little in the way of people openly talking about all of the issues leading up to the trauma at the hospital.

There was the doorstep to leadership. We had an administrator without credentials, but even more so, without compassion. Someone who would allow families of nursing home residents to go without news of their loved ones, whether it be emergency situations, or simply not involving those closest to the situation to be included in decision making.

This leader also was given this power by three members of a five member board of directors.

Where are the psychologists who could really analyze this situation from that perspective?

Where are the people who could help those traumatized, young nurses who were threatened that they would lose their license had they told that a certain patient may have been given a drug against her will?

And the older nurses who went out on "stress leave," how often do you see a cluster of previously stable and enduring staff suddenly leave due to stress?

But we have attorneys now who have interesting backgrounds. We will hopefully hear from them soon and maybe get an idea as to why they are here and how they got here.

(My question will always be to the government outlets, the political Representatives, the media: where were you when we really needed your help?)
