Women dies after being dragged from Hospital...

[MADem]

158. None of it is "bunk." The metal bunk had a rubber mat on it. So what?

The drugs--there were none in her system, but that is not what THE DOCTOR said. Drug addicts puke. You leave them on the floor. If they feel well enough to get up, they will.

And of course, according to the DOCTOR, the woman was fine--just a drug-seeking, lying malingerer. She would surely get up when she was ready. The doctor wouldn't lie!

You're the one who brought up amphetamines--not me. Stop trying to put your suppositions on me. I said coke, meth, and who knows what kind of street drug--I didn't commit to anything. You did. And so did THE DOCTOR--who said she was a druggie, when she had no drugs in her system.

Why are you so unwilling to put the blame where it belongs? Are you working for the hospital? Feel that medical professionals never make mistakes? I am astounded at your unwillingness to see where this started, and why that woman ended up in the jail--two words--THE DOCTOR. The doctor misdiagnosed her and shoved her off on the police to die. The DOCTOR is at fault.

And why would there be a wheelchair in a jail? Why would you "bet" that? Wheelchairs are commonly found in hospitals, not jails. People who are "unfit for confinement" and who would need medical care while under arrest are kept in hospital locked wards, or under guard in an out-of-the-way room at the end of a hospital hallway--not in jails. If they're convicted, they go to prison hospitals.

See, that's why it was so important for the doctor to certify the woman's fitness--so she COULD be arrested and pushed off on the cops. The police do not put "unfit" people in their cells. They even get doctors to sign off on people's fitness if they get a scrape or bruise while being arrested. People who need medical care get it before they are jailed--even people who get in bar fights, knife fights, have gunshot wounds, etc.--they don't go to jail until they get treated, and receive a fitness for confinement statement before leaving the hospital.

I'll bet if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride. Whatever--there is indeed no point going on--you are completely excusing the doctor for putting that woman in the jail cell, and blaming the police for not having x-ray vision to see a clot, and to realize with their extraordinary extra-sensory powers that the woman that they were told by a medical professional was a lying, "fit for confinement," drug-seeking addict wasn't a lying and fit drug-seeking addict.

Incredible.
