From the hospital staff to the 9-11 dispatcher. What kind of place was this that would let a woman suffer like this and not do anything to help her until she died there on the floor. What about that horrible dispatcher- did you hear the audio? What is wrong with people

I've heard the complete 911 tapes regarding this matter. It's a tough call, but I have to back up the 911 dispatchers--there really was nothing more they could do: Rodriguez was ALREADY inside the MLK hospital--surrounded by medical staff.
Rodriguez's boyfriend, Jose Prado, did NOT answer the question asked "Why are they (medical staff) ignoring her (Rodriguez)". MLK hospital won't sweat a lawsuit here--because Prado AVOIDED the question, evidently knowing he was on tape.
Also noted: Prado did NOT approach medical staff or local police requesting Rodriguez at least be given an ambulance transport to another facility---and he was clearly advised by 911 dispatcher to do exactly just that.
Let's go to Civil Court here a second, where these segmented areas of both the MLK Hospital video AND the 911 call tapes are dissected:
MLK attorney(s): "Mr. Prado: did you heed the RECORDED advisement of the 911 dispatcher YOU spoke with, and verbally request Ms. Rodriguez be given an ambulance ride OUT MLK Hospital?"
Prado: "Uhhh...no"
MLK attorney(s): "Why not, sir?"
Prado: (I would NOT want to be Prado right about now).
MLK attorney(s): "Mr. Prado.could it well be YOU, sir, saw a potential grand multi-MILLION DOLLAR lawsuit favoring Ms. Rodriguez's family (and potentially, you too), so you stopped short of getting Ms. Rodriguez that much needed transport to another hospital? Better yet, why didn't YOU or attending members of the Rodriguez family simply take Ms. Rodriguez in YOUR automobile(s) to another hospital?
Mr. Prado..why did YOU and Rodriguez family allow Ms. Rodriguez to DIE???"
Ah, NOW you get the idea here..and it all comes down to that pivotal moment, when Prado went evasive to 911 dispatcher--and I wouldn't at all be surprised if other clues leading to suspicion come signed by Prado on MLK legal ER documentation as well.
We must bear in mind here that quick to anger as we come watching the video and listening to the 911 tapes, we really DON'T have the full story of what really went on; we're easily led by assumptions.
Was MLK Hosptial negligent? Sure seems so.but I suspect there IS more to this story yet to be told.and Prado and Rodriguez family isn't so disclosing just yet....probably for good reason.
I think Prado has something to hide..and a good Civil Court trial may just be the thing needed to bring out the total truth here..things that might land Prado in a criminal courtroom.
It was the same as murder and they should be held accountable!!
I think they should face civil and criminal penalties.
This would have never happened if the illegals in California hadn't already bankrupted the hospitals. There have been numerous hospitals closed because of bankruptcy in California. If these hospitals were still open, this would never have happened. Basically there are not enough hospitals in California to take care of there population. You don't see these people running to the hospital for the rich and famous do you? Stop illegal immigration and the hospitals would be able to stay open.
This is more evidence that a problem with Hospitals today is an unchecked system where employees, nurses and doctors have no or little accountability. Soon you will see people blame it on other things which are not the problem.
I share your out rage, but it isn't the entire system, just the incredibly ignorant morons that work ? at that hospital , and that useless twit {for lack of a better term } should be hung by her heels, {911 operator } ALL should be in the cross bar hotel, for a very very long time...
This is what Socialized Healthcare will be like and worse than the HMO's!
Personally, I think that every single professional in that hospital that didn't do anything to aid this woman should be sanctioned and/or lose their license.
I did hear that dispatcher, and I think that person should be brought up on charges!
What in the hell is so wrong that someone needs to call 911 from the hospital emergency room to try and get someone seriously in medical trouble some sort of care? Somewhere in that place, the system failed that woman, and her family and friends. I hope they all rot in hell for that.
And by the way - the woman was an American Citizen. But because she didn't carry insurance, she was pushed to the back of the line. If this isn't a call for some sort of medical reform, I don't know what is!
I think the hospital did not take her seriously for the simple reason and I quote. She was a druggie, had been to the hospital 4 days in a row getting free drugs for her so called problem. Now, she chose to be a druggie and when she needed a fix she was going to the hospital. The hospital is in poor shape due to the fact it has thousands passing through every week and no one paying. I'm sure they were getting tired of being her free fix. Is that right, no, but we all make choices in life and she chose drugs.
