Opposition
Tortious Interfernee
Claim with same facts and nexus has already survived, in related case
With Plaintiff s related case. a tortious interference claim has survived the initial motions.
And for Defendant Oke. Plaintiff. for the most part, cut/pasted from the related case. The claim
supported by the allegation: that Inova. led by Dr. John Cochran interfered with Dr. Oke's
obligations to Plaintil1~ for the purpose of thwarting a likely malpractice claim against Inova and
others; survived.
And when Dr. Oke acted to help (nova with its el1arts, Dr. Oke also was interfering with the
expectant lawsuit. By the time Plaintiff tiled the instant complaint. new facts were recognized
and all that has really changed is that the expectant suit would have instead, related to personal
injuries, resulting from criminal ofTenses and not "medical injuries".
This Court amended the title of the self-represented PlaintifTs Tortious Interference Claim
and Defendant should have noticed that PlaintifT is self-represented, in the instant case, as well.
It is the exact same allegations and facts; only that Inova and Defendant Oke arc being
sued in two separate cases.
Tortious Interfernce
The contact between Inova and Defendant Oke was improper and unlawful, under federal
patient privacy laws; and this supports the Conspiracy Claim. Defendant Oke conspired,
backwards, with individuals responsible for the original wrongdoing.
Defendant Attia and Defendant Macarthy, both parties with very recent contact with Plaintiff;
and actively, forwarding the wrongdoing.
Plaintiff's
The instant and related cases could be said to be derivatives of the '"main event", which may
be a combination of criminal action and civil action in state court. BecllUse the evidence of the

Reasonably diligent investigation. Three years-for reasonably diligent inquiry and for making a
decision as to whether to file suit. To investigate further, obtain expert opinion discuss
settlcment and lile suit. Should the plaintiff fail to seek out the facts supporting a cause of
action, it can fairly be said that the plaintiff has inexcusably slept on his rights When a plaintilf
has knowledge of circumstance indicating that he may have been harmed, the law imposes a
duty on that plaintiff to investigate whether in fact he has been harmed".
Prior to being forced bv federal and Marvland governments to transfer his investigation,

medical care that are of getting answers and an appraisal) to this pack of 5 defendants,
Plaintiff had success in overcoming wrongdoing and getting some results
Dr. Dormu conspired with the wrongdoers. but he was "playing both sides". Had Plaintiff
thought that criminal offenses were the cause of the injuries. it could be said that Dr. Dormu
gave sufficient facts for Plaintiff to take facts to the police and also to an attorney for civil action.
Plaintiff received some minor swellings underneath his eyes following the MRI test. Dr.
Donnu told him that those bumps are only seen in hospitalized patients with some very serious
conditions. Dr. Dormu told Plaintiff "you are young and you can survive these things". Both
these statements were intended to communicate that some life threatening actions occurred
during a simple MRI test.
Dr. Dormu told Plaintiff that there is nothing wrong with the veins in the arms. The pretext
for gaining access to give a second injection. one of a malicious nature, for initializing those
criminal offenses at the MRI facility was that the first intravenous injection was said to be
unsuccessful.
The most important piece of the facts. was that the ulnar artery in the leli arm had "blown".
Dr. Dormu. very likely, promised the wTongdoers that he would not reveal this fact. But Dr.
Donnu staged some theatrics. Dr. Dormu is a sole practitioner and he has a nurse and a
physicians' assistant on his staff; but he did not nced them in the exam room with Plaintiff.
3
Dr. Donnu took 10 minutes to teach this medical oddity to these other medical professionals.
Dr. Dormu showed the physicians' assistant how to check for the ulnar pulse on the right ann
and then to check the left arm and find this oddity. The PA was a quick study but the nurse
needed a lot of help. Dr. Dormu used this bit of theatre to convey the message that this is the key
evidence and also that it is not something that occurs in the field of medicine.
Plaintiff had consistently said that he was mainly okay with the injuries from the MRI facility
and that it was the injuries to the heart. done by Dr. Kulkarni is what would produce a fruitful
malpractice action. On that front; Dr. Donnu suppressed all material facts.
But Plaintifrs
progress was stopped in its tracks when he entered into the government
that beginning in 2014. he was eligible for Medicaid; consequent to the new laws related to
medical insurance.
What bothered The pJaintifTwas that. in the Medicaid system. the federal government, state
government, Maryland's contractor and subcontractor physicians; all would have all of
Plaintiff's medical information and this would include very detailed information. These people
would have the information in real-time. And even if Plaintiff got out of Medicaid, all this
privacy would be forever. lost. And Dr. Cochran and [nova were still lurking in the shadows.
Plaintiff who was not working, even misreported on the health exchange website where the
uninsured can purchase health insurance. that he was employed and gave income numbers to
support that. And yet, the system crosschecks with all databases.

Plaintiff. never in his life. needed emergency medical care. but in 2014 he was very
conscious of the heart injury and knew that even if entered an emergency room, personnel would
sign him up for Medicaid. Prior to 2014, there were alternative means to get emergency care.
But with the new laws and the ways of implementation

him that it was the only substantial plan that served his region.
And the law only requires the state to give recipients access to two of these contractors.
So
even though. presently, there are more than two, for reasons such as consolidation. things can
change with little notice. Additionally, in light of the heart problem, Washington Hospital
Center, a Medstar Hospital that specializes in the type of heart problem seems to be the
appropriate site for treatment as the condition, worsens.

part of the "main event" has still not been filed in state court. Plaintiff will likely succeed
against a motion to dismiss based on statute of limitations by arguing the "discovery rulc" and
tolling and such. But all this is additional work that only came about because of defendants'
tortious conduct. These are compensable damages.
Then. with criminal prosecution,

said that these 5 defendants are fully united. both; lawfully and unlawfully.
Let it be
Plaintiff alleged in
his Complaint that Defendant Attia filed a false complaint with the Montgomery County Police,
the very same agency that was to handle the criminal prosecution.
But now, Plaintiff asserts that what occurred is that Defendant Attia, and Mr. Kenneth Samet,
CEO of MSFC's parent company, Medstar, conspired with local elected officials; who in tum
used the county police, an unit of county government and the Montgomery County State's
Attorney's Office, an unit of state government; and knowingly presented arrest and search
warrant applications to a Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge, who diligently studied the
applications and denied them.
There is a custom of police in Maryland, that when an individual possesses material
evidence that supports allegations of wrongdoing by police, by hook or by crook, the police seek
to destroy that evidence. But until now, such unlawful and improper conduct only occurred to
shield the police, themselves.
[n the instant case, the police have done these things for the
benefit of a private party. Medstar. And this supports Plaintiffs "bizarre" damages request.
That. he has to overcome this large entity which. perhaps. by indirect means, can buy off the
local elected officials.
In Montgomery County, two unrelated individuals. with press credentials and with one of the
incidents occurring in 2011 and the other nearly 10 years earlier. One involved a nationally
known. local television reporter who was by legal means. gathering evidence of misconduct by a
police agency outside Montgomery County. The second related to a White House photographer
who became a witness to wrongdoing by Montgomery County Police.
Both these individuals reported the exact same thing that Plaintiff also reported. Police were
sitting outside Plaintiffs house for a lengthy period of time. Both these individuals with very
good reputations, one with even special clearance from the Secret Service; reported something
quality office at the address on Sandpiper Circle. The new office on King Avenue is a more
expensive piece of real estate.
The oflice also holds vast quantities of sensitive personal data. necessitating a painstaking
transfer to the new office.
Medstar Family choice wasted all this money that was to be spent on giving health care to the
indigent and others in Maryland and Washington. DC; in an effort to frustrate "service".
This
organization that is to be transparent and accessible, did not update their address on several data
bases of note; the state office from Maryland DHMH that has given the contract to MSFC,
Maryland Board of Physicians and with U.S. Health and Human Services that issues a NPI
number [national provider identification].
went to the old address and attempted delivery. But somehow figured out the new address and
forwarded the letter.
It must be noted that in Washington, DC, the law imposes a very minor hurdle for plaintiffs
filing medical malpractice action. Plaintiffs are to mail the proposed complaint to the medical
provider, 90 days prior, to filing suit. When The Marshals Service attempted to serve the
Summons and Complaint upon Defendant Syed, the lone Washington DC defendant, via
Certified mail: Defendant Syed lied to the Postal Service and stated that Dr. Syed had moved and
provided no forwarding address.
Had Plaintiffs action been actually, medical malpractice, Plaintiff would not have able to
follow the medical malpractice laws of Washington, DC. And perhaps, Defendant Syed' s codefendants should provide a lesson about conforming to malpractice laws, to Defendant Syed.
It should also be noted that when Plaintiff in the related case, filed a motion to compel these
same defendants, under their corporate unifying title of Medstar Family Choice, to perform on
their obligations; they filed with This Court exhibits showing very detailed information from
several postal certified mail receipts, even though; defendants obligations were to, perform on
federal and state laws related to Medicaid, and not in mail delivery.

employee of DHMH, in the words of another state worker "knocked

An
altogether,
This state agency has not responded to any of Plaintiffs written complaints and does not
answer the telephone.
There has been an effort that has cost a large sum of money. has included several unlawful
acts and has involved many individuals. All this, could not be done without the authorization
and assistance of Mr. Kenneth Samet, the CEO of Medstar.
Plaintiff has the intention to file suit in state court, stating a primary count of "battery",
against individuals whom PlaintifTbelieves, and has evidence to support; engaged in that act on
February 15,2013 at Capital Imaging in Bethesda and also in May, 2013, related to the
prescription for the drug Verapamil given by Dr. Sonalee Kulkari, from Inova.
Because of the circumstances and the evidence, which includes evidence of falsified
documents, no alibi can be reliable. Plaintiff can reasonably assert that no one engages in the
extensive effort to conceal somebody else's criminal offenses, but rather, their own.
Plaintiff should allege that Mr. Samet was at Capital Imaging on February 15,2013.
It was the intent of Dr. Jacobson to produce a stroke, and one does not necessarily cover all
bases by having Dr. Jacobson control the facts at Suburban Hospital or Dr. Kulkarni controlling
facts as Plaintiffs personal physician. Had Plaintiff suffered that stroke, he would have become
covered by Medicaid in 2013, even under the old rules, because of physical and mental
incapacitation.
And much like with the heart condition of today and with Plaintiffs
place of
residence, he very likely would have been enrolled into the Medstar MCO, Medstar Family
Choice and also would be required to utilize Medstar hospitals and these hospitals are also the
designated centers for severe cardiovascular conditions.
For the sake of the instant case, the most plausible explanation of the facts is that Dhar, Oke
and Macarthy made deals with those that committed all those criminal ofTenses. Plaintiff was
making slow progress with getting these 3 defendants to perfonn their state obligations.
Plaintiff followed the rules and complained to MSFC and then Attia who assembled this
unscrupulous group of physicians, in order to; protect her own investment and reputation;
stopped all the progress in its tracks, and attacked the Plaintiff in all those stated ways in this
motion, The Complaint and in Plaintiffs other filings; all which very easily are Section 1983
deprivations.
Additional actors also arrived on the scene, who worked hand-in-hand with Attia,
expense
Medical records
with whiteout on page numbers was released, in an effort to conceal a very basic fact; that: The
PlaintifTwas undergoing a very simple and hamlless medical procedure at Capital Imaging. The
legitimate process of that medical procedure, that. which consists of the patient being sealed in a
capsule and that which involves injections; allowed for the medical process to be easily hijacked
by a criminal process.
The actions included rendering the victim unconscious by depriving the brain of oxygen by a
complex mechanical process and because the intent could be nothing other than sexual assault.
that in itself is a sexual assault.
The psychiatrists who produce a manual that lists and describes all psychiatric disorders, also
release policy statements as to how they decided what is a disorder and what is not. One could
either, singularly or consensually with others, construct and execute actions, which in one's own
10
mind one believes is what they need to do, in order to; obtain the sexual satisfaction of their
choosing. It can only be a disorder if it results in permanent injury.
The manual does not allow for similar things with drug use, but for illustrative purposes, the
use of LSD can be cited. Having something of a "designated driver", helps the user get the most
out of a "tripping on acid" session. The "designated driver" can safeguard the user from perhaps,
jumping out of a window. Additionally, LSD, alone, does not do the trick; the user needs the
"designated driver" to stimulate the production of the hallucination.
may tell the user to look into a mirror, next say that the user is the devil and has horns. The user
will actually see these things.
Inova had conceded that there was a large statement on the front page of Plaintiffs medical
records that when read by Ms. Charlene Seegers, the front desk employee of Inova, caused her to
have an expression on shock on her face. The Plaintiff had also stated that Ms. Seegers needed
to re-read the statement several times.
This is because Dr. Cochran, who has acquiesced to Plaintiffs; public, front page, internet,
conclusory statements that Dr. Cochran, himself, was present, and physically, committed sexual
assault at 4927 Auburn Avenue, Bethesda on February 15,2013 and Dr. Cochran would be said
to suffer from a sexual paraphilia. where one harms others; stated on The Plaintiffs medical
records which he had no right to ever access; that it was Plaintiff who was suffering from a
sexual paraphilia. that caused him to harm. himself. This included the complicated mechanics
that Ms. Seegers found di fficult to learn.
On December 3, 2014, Plaintiff had his first visit with Dr. Oke. Dr. Oke. immediately
understood that he "won the lottery", "struck gold", and such. Dr. Oke did not complete a full
initial assessment.
11
Dr. Oke scheduled another visit, 2 weeks away. because he wanted to make deals; to sell his
professional opinion. that he owed Plaintiff. both by the physician-patient contract and the well
coditied version of those same principles that are found in the laws that relate to Medicaid.
which are presented as rights. duties. obligations. responsibilities and such. within 2 separate
manuals published by Medstar Family Choice. the Medicaid contractor that carries out functions.
and also obligations. to Plaintitl that are of state government.
A second physician in some form of internship capacity works as Dr. Oke's assistant. The
first name is Brittany and the last name may be "Davis". With this second physician as a
witness. Dr. Oke made a crude joke that presented the same concepts in Dr. Cochran's
"defamatory statemenf".
Plaintiff does not assert that Dr. Oke and Dr. Cochran had already
communicated.
Dr. Oke very easily understood the history. much more that even Plaintiff knew of at the
time. as he is an expert; a heart surgeon. Dr. Oke'sjoke
instructed his patient to return after 2 weeks also added the line "don't do anything to make
yourself pass-out during those 2 weeks", with a grimace on his face. When Plaintiff suggested to
Dr. Oke that he did not understand what Dr. Oke. meant; Dr. Oke was caught dumbfounded.
PlaintifTwas holding his relevant past medical records in his hands. in a folder and yet Dr.
Oke needed 2 weeks to gather records? Those same records were already given to Dr. Macarthy.
the assigned primary care. whose office could have easily faxed them over. Plaintiff went to Dr.
Macarthy's office. either that same evening or the following evening. Dr. Macarthy's employee
told Plaintiff that she had already faxed the records to Dr. Oke. and she said that she did so
before PlaintifTs visit with Dr. Oke. While Plaintiff witnessed. the employee again faxed all the
records to Dr. Oke. These things will appear on the phone company logs during discovery.
12
When PlaintifTscheduled his initial appointment, Dr. Oke had these appointments available
on 2 days or less notice; and now Dr. Oke wants 2 weeks. Judging by his joke, Dr. Oke even
knew what was going on. Defendant Oke needed 2 weeks for negotiating a barter.
In the subsequent visit after 14 days, Dr. Oke on the records acknowledge receipt of only I
test. consisting of only a single page, when Dr. Macarthy's employee had faxed 16 pages.
The 3rd visit on December 31, 2014 is the one in which Defendant Oke launched an all out
assault on behalf of conspirator Dr. John Cochran of Inova, including plastering a migraine
headache diagnosis at multiple points of the document, and obesity diagnosis; to stand up Dr.
Kulkarni's sham. off the books, diagnosis of migraines when Dr. Kulkarni committed fraud and
caused Plaintiff to put the drug Verapamil into his body and that is the most severe of all injuries,
heart failure. And to cover all bases, the obesity and hypertension diagnosis provides an
alternative theory of causation for heart failure.
The records from this visit again makes the comment that Dr. Oke is still in a search for his
patient's historical medical records.
Dr. Oke also describes Plaintiff as a 44 male with multiple medical complaints in the
"impression column" when in the previous 2 visits PlaintifTwas said to be a pleasant 44 year old
male. The words "not substantiated" also appears. An efTort to diminish Plaintiff's credibility.
The word unsubstantiated is the term used by physicians' boards and such regulatory bodies.
when ruling on whether a particular deviation from professional standards, occurred.
But when Plaintiff requested records during the 4th visit. only 14 days later, on the records
from this visit; PlaintifT is once again said to be "pleasant".
obesity rubbish is no longer stated. And here, finally, after 45 days and 4 visits. Dr. Oke
acknowledges receipt of all the records.
13
It is well settled that when an individual is represented by counsel in the initial stages of civil
action; that the counsel and the individual, all together, are seen to be a single individual; with,
all the visible duties charged to counsel. But the individual, himself also has some duties.
Defendant's

is always beyond the control of the possessor of stock certificates. The basic recommendation
from experts is to "diversify'" so a single stock and if it applies to all stocks. there are "penny
stocks" which are very volatile; and no one puts all their money into one of those stocks.
Plaintiff s prospective state court action would be the better investment when compared to a
single stock certificate.
Plaintiff had cited a case that went to trial in Fairfax County in2015 and
it is well known that the venue is the most difficult for plaintiffs and yet a case moved through
the full process. including trial. in less than 6 months time. The plaintifTwas awarded $600.000
by a jury that was limited by a statutory cap on punitive damages. All that happened was that the
plaintiff: while under anesthesia was mocked by a physician; and the jokes were funny and
applicable to the plaintifTand it was the plaintiff who publicized the matter and yel won a
defamation case. There is a genuine issue for trial

lying,
deceptions and such. If that were so then Oke concedes that he committed these malicious acts.
which support the Section 1983 Claim and Tortiuous Interference Claim.
Oke presents the Plaintiff as being vague. ambiguous. bizarre and this really was the theme.
perhaps delusional; a very poor psychological profile. Then how it that the same Plaintiff
analyzed and understood all the lies and deceptions of an expert. a heart surgeon?
For the lIED Claim. this same Dr. Oke gave him good marks in the pysch category during
the medical encounters and now PlaintifThas become a serious psych case. When Oke argues
"bizarre nature" of Complaint, written by a self-represented party who is also his patient. then
what Oke is saying is that his patient suffered some serious harm to his thought process and such.
15
All this means that all of Plaintiffs claims should survive at this stage and should survive all
the way into trial. These are all genuine issues for trial.
According to Oke. as evidenced by the first doctors' notes on December 3, 2014 and then all
the way through MSFC's filings in This Court, responding to a Motion To Compel in the related
case; Plaintiff was physically and psychologically okay. but very quickly; Plaintiff became
perhaps even insane and also has all these "medical injuries", even though Oke did not do any
surgery and only prescribed a drug. that his patient declined.
Plaintiff further supports the instant motion with faets and laws stated in PlaintifPs
Opposition to Defendant Anjana Dhar's Motion to Dismiss.
Conclusion
In light of the foregoing. Plaintiff Joseph Crussiah, respectfully, requests that Defendant
Oke's Motion to Dismiss. be denied. Additionally, in light of the persistent tortious conduct of
defendants, which includes a large sum of money earmarked for indigent health care that was
utilized to relocate a large oflice. in order to; obstruct service, which was ordered by This Court;
that all requests for costs by these defendants be denied.
Respectfully Submitted.
