There are a number of websites that allow reporting of Medical 
                              Industry malfeasance, some are advertised as being for 
                              'whistleblowers' (usually with promises of monetary reward if you 
                              blow the whistle on the right entity) which would put them in a class 
                              with lawyers.  Two or three actually advertised specifically for 
                              reports of LTACH fraud, again no response. 
                              
                              
                              
                              Near the end the second year, when the statute of limitations would 
                              expire, I did get a lawyer some distance away to look at the case, 
                              but he said that there would not be time to prepare and declined.  At 
                              least he had something resembling an excuse. 
                              
                              
                              
                              I suppose Hospital C will continue to feast on the helpless prey 
                              delivered by the at least nominally legitimate facilities in the 
                              area.  It's a large area - I have identified through death records 
                              residents of four states.  Most are from the state were it is located 
                              and a neighboring one, but some were sent from further away.  The 
                              local hospitals have no excuse for not knowing - I sent them a 
                              lengthy message describing my ordeal.  I received no replies. 
                              As for the ones farther away, I see no reason they would have cared 
                              any more than the local ones.
