"The death earlier this year of Leslie Fishbein was a tragic event, and our thoughts and prayers remain with her family and friends. Because patient privacy laws bar us from discussing her medical information or treatment - and because this is now in litigation - we will not be able to discuss specifics of this case. We do, however, respectfully disagree with the claims made in the lawsuit and plan to defend this vigorously."
After Fishbein's autopsy, the Denver Coroner sent a letter to the State Medical Board asking it to investigate whether Fishbein's death was the result of sub-standard care./>
