Healthcare Issues As the discharge planner for Mr. Trosack, I will need to address several issues before I can safely send him home. He has had several new diagnoses while in the hospital for a fractured hip, and the hip fracture will be the first issue I will address. He will not have the mobility he had before his fall and even though he wants to be independent, he will continue to have issues at home that needs to be addressed.

Several nurses have commented on him being a “difficult patient” as he is “stubborn and wants to control everything” while he is at the hospital.

John SONNELAND, M.D., Petitioner When Suzan Berger went to see her Physician Dr. John Sonneland on July 1, 1993 for abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, severe dumping syndrome, vomiting and a 40-pound weight loss, she trusted him with the health problems she had been dealing with. Her symptoms began at age 22 and at age 27 she had multiple surgeries. Dr. Sonneland reported that Suzan told him she was taking various drugs, including Tylox, a narcotic for pain. She disputes this fact. She stated she gave him a written release to contact her previous physician Dr. Federic E. Eckhauser, at the University of Michigan Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan, to obtain her medical history, but did not list Dr. Hoheim, her former husband, as a past medical provider and did not give the Petitioner permission to contact him.
