Following are links to the lists of physician trainees and Attending physicians who were supposed to be caring for our son Seth.
It should be noted that there is no indication of any involvement in the treatment by a 2nd year Post Graduate Medical Resident. This is a gross violation of the rules of the Accreditation Committee on Graduate Medical Education.

Robert R. Goodman, M.D. – now a world famous Neurosurgeon – may have been the leader of the Columbia Health Care Team entrusted with Seth’s care. His name is listed as the Attending Physician at the top of every single page containing notes of the students’ malpractice (including the ICU). With the exception of his one brief note, there is no indication that he provided one iota of supervision to the inexperienced student doctors. Nor is there any indication that he was involved in any way with Seth’s care. Dr. Goodman was ultimately responsible for our son’s tragic death. In Seth’s memory, Dr. Goodman’s watchword must forever be, “Never Again!”
