Blountstown in 2,500 people. I've lived for 8/9 years in a town of 5,000 and for 3 years in a village of 1,500. I did not know that many people in either town. I mean, I had a business on the main street and thought I knew everybody. One day I decided to make a list of all the people I knew by name. It was only about 400 people - in a town of 5,000 and a county of 17,000.
My point about seeing her a lot, is that she MAY have had a lot of complaints that were imaginary. I have known such people, always complaining about something or other.
Hindsight is always 20/20. The doctors, nurses, and cops did not have that benefit in real time. I was not there and do not have the training or knowledge to second guess them, am only saying that - medical professionals were there, so why expect a cop to over-rule them?
Actually I heard the same thing about one of my neighbors. 45 years old, went to the hospital complaining of chest pains, they sent him home. That night he died of a heart attack. Nurses and doctors are not perfect. Perhaps especially in small towns.
