Woman dies after being forcibly removed from hospital

Says the guy who honestly believed a "huge government database" exists with everyone's medical history.

I love how every time I point out right-wingers being factually incorrect about the ACA, I'm "championing" the bill.

Like, if I suggest the worst thing Osama Bin Laden ever did was kill and eat a unicorn, you'd be championing Osama Bin Laden if you point out that unicorns don't exist.

You were just wrong, man. Own up to it and move on. It's not that big a deal.

People have an EKG, leave and have a heart attack. While not common does occur on a regular basis.

What Is an Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) Test?

There are a raft of tests that when the diagnosis call for it to test the heart. It is a long list.

Had this one twice. Once 6 months after the heart attack. Then another 8 years later. No damage from the HA, no new blockages after 8 years. Was having chest pains but the Dr. did not know if it was related to back injuries - Lupus which I have but is rare in males.

As she was overweight, who knows what else was wrong.

This is all speculation.

Yep- It is a debate form. But people who are over weight are at high risk for anything from heart disease to diabetes to clots to stroke, to name a few.

Well you were replying, so now it off topic.

...and I will stay on topic. A woman dies in the hospital after being sent away with breathing problems. The updated story says she had a lung embolism. A symptom of this is having breathing problems. It will be very interesting to see if the hospital did a CT on her because if they did they should have seen she had this problem. If they decided to skip it, they may have some problems on their hands.
 
From a local source, a statement by the regional NAACP:

"We're here because of the untimely death of Barbara Dawson that we believe strongly resulted out of the negligent homicide on the part of the hospital staff and the police department over in Blountstown," Dale Landry, the Regional Vice President for the Northwest Florida Chapter of the NAACP, said. "Instead of them sending her on to another hospital, they chose to decide to just discharge her and dismiss her."

In a press release, Blountstown Police Chief Mark Mallory said hospital staff informed the officer Dawson was alive and readmitted her. He says she died sometime later.

...Mallory's press release states they're still investigating the death and have asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to open an independent investigation. [Hospital CEO]Attaway says she couldn't explain why they didn't send Dawson to a different hospital. Dawson's family is planning to open their own investigation. UPDATE: Autopsy finds woman died of natural causes after she collapsed outside hospital

Indeed. Interesting that local media is reporting a blood clot in her lung to be "natural causes". There's nothing natural about a 57 yr old woman having a lung embolism, which causes her severe pain and difficulty breathing, when the hospital she turns to tosses her out without doing squat beyond checking her oxygen levels (which would be good, since she was given oxygen at the time) and taking her blood pressure. She was still in pain, still having trouble breathing, and being physically pushed around, handcuffed, removed from oxygen and forcibly marched out of the hospital certainly contributed to severely stressed efforts to breathe, which very well may have contributed to knocking that clot loose in the first place.

"Difficult to diagnose and treat?" Are they kidding? A clot like that is quite easy to diagnose with proper tests, like the MRI they failed to give her, the chest Xrays they apparently failed to take, or any of the available diagnosis tools that either failed to use or were too stupid to properly read.

This hospital handled this patient wrongly by almost any medical protocol I can think of, and a strong legal case can be made that the hospital contributed to her death in many different ways. Unacceptable.
 
Here is a statement from the hospital's CEO (from article I linked above): "The only time a patient is asked to leave is whenever we're concerned over our patients, other patients [sic] care."

I'd like to know what she meant by that.

In a case involving a black woman that wasn't about race-- the NAACP gets involved. LOL

I personally hope the family doesn't get a single dime.

Lastly, obesity killed this woman. Not the hospital. not this cruel life-- obesity. That was the so called natural cause.

Obesity/sitting for long periods of time = increase chance of DVTs
