Failure To Prevent Suicide

In July 2007, attorneys Andrew Slutkin and Jamison White of the law firm of Silverman Thompson Slutkin and White filed a medical malpractice case against Maryland psychiatrist Maguid Mansour, M.D. and Maryland psychologist Kevin Hennessy, Ph.D. alleging that they failed to property treat a suicidal patient during the patient’s visit to Howard County General Hospital’s emergency room, prematurely discharged the patient from the hospital on the night of the admission, as a result, the patient committed suicide on the day of discharge.

The case is scheduled for trial in late 2008.
