I am 27 years old currently living in Surprise, AZ. I currently work full time for Banner Health in Glendale, AZ as a Telemetry Tech, monitoring cardiac rhythms for patients throughout the hospital. I also have my CNA to work as needed doing patient care. I have a beautiful, almost 4-year-old German Shepard/Australian Shepard mix named Jwlz (after my last name). I have support from both my parents, and I have a wonderful boyfriend who is my rock and so supportive of me while I go back to school after obtaining my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Arizona State University back in 2019.
I am attending Herzing University to get a diploma in Medical Assisting. I love learning, especially in the healthcare field. I am excited to be able to eventually work alongside a physician or physician’s assistant to gain insight into their everyday world. Working in that setting will also allow me to verify if attending a master’s program for physician assistant is still my career goal.
In the state of Arizona, according to the law, under section 12-542, one has two years from the date of incidence to file a medical malpractice or negligence claim. If, however, the plaintiff in the claim is a minor, under 18 years of age or is mentally disabled the circumstances for that law and time of when you can file the claim will change. If I were to explain this process to a patient, I would say this: “If during today’s appointment with the doctor you were harmed in some way medically due to some form of incompetence or carelessness, you have two years to file a claim with the court against that doctor. If you file that claim after the two years from this incident occurring the doctor will be able to file a motion to dismiss the claim and because of the statute of limitations in Arizona is two years, the court will most likely dismiss your claim and you will not be compensated and/or the doctor will not be punished, for a lack of better words, for what happened to you.
