Remember the FL woman who was kicked out of the hospital and died? The video was released

10. actually in the police's defense

they were just going by what the hospital said - that she was fine to go. As such, when she fell to the ground, they figured she was probably just faking to be non-cooperative. They actually did get medical help right away, according to the story. It says there was a nurse attempting to get her in the car, and also taking her pulse. Why not a doctor? Well, doctors are busy. A nurse is your first step and presumably has the training and knowledge to know if a doctor is needed.

Of course, people have their limitations. They may or may not have seen a case like yours (or hers). When I went to the hospital I told them "I cannot swallow" and they asked "What do you mean by that?" I am thinking to myself "there are four words there, which one didn't you understand?"

Except they understood just fine - they just didn't believe me. In somewhat the same way, this woman says "I cannot breathe" and they didn't believe it. After all, they can see her breathing and hear her talking, so she must be able to breathe.

I am not clear on the story. Did the hospital say "We will not treat her?" or did they say "she does not need treatment?" The story does not say. Either way, THEY are the ones who called the cops to have her removed. It does say that she refused to seek medical help elsewhere. Which would tend to make a person think "she is not really sick".

It's probably as much about money as anything else. If she had money or some kind of insurance, they usually would be happy to at least do a walletectomy (where they attach leeches to your wallet and bleed you of your cash).
