Title: 911 Dispatchers Denied Dying Woman Help
Post by: Setalia on June 14, 2007, 02:17:19 PM

Newly released tapes of 911 calls reveal that a woman who lay bleeding on the floor of the emergency room died last month after dispatchers refused to contact paramedics or an ambulance to take her to another facility.

(The rest of the article is about other problems with the hospital.)

That hospital is known for its problems(not to mention the area it's in)

They had a major reform, but I see it really hasn't done anything -___-
