DMC: No medical records found for exotic dancer Tamara Greene

Detroit — No woman named Tamara Greene or Tamara Bond was treated at any Detroit Medical Center emergency room in 2002, a lawyer for the hospital group said in a court filing Friday.

Tamara “Strawberry” Greene was an exotic dancer linked to a rumored party at the mayor’s Manoogian Mansion in the fall of 2002. She was shot to death in Detroit on April 30, 2003. Greene’s family is suing former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and top city and police officials, alleging they obstructed a police investigation into her still unsolved killing.

Kilpatrick and the other defendants deny the allegations.

Greene’s son’s name is Jonathan Bond, and she sometimes used the last names Bond or Bond-Greene.

A central facet of the party rumor, as detailed in court filings, is that Greene required hospital treatment after she was assaulted at the Manoogian party by Kilpatrick’s wife, Carlita. That’s why hospital records have become an issue.

Charles Raimi, an attorney for the Detroit Medical Center, said recent subpoenas for medical records filed by Greene family attorney Norman Yatooma contain too little information for the hospital to respond to them while still complying with privacy laws.

“Plaintiffs’ Dec. 9, 2009, subpoenas to Detroit Receiving and Sinai-Grace provide nothing more than the names ‘Tamara Greene/aka Tamara Bond,’ ” Raimi said in a court filing.

“Health care providers require, for a proper medical records search, such identifying information as a Social Security number, home address, date of service, etc.”
