my guess is that this hospital is going to have a big malpractice suit. this is not racial thing that happened this is a poor person with no insurance or underinsured with Medicaid.
The hospital is not worried about or concerned with law suits. They have scads of lawyers on retainer. They have insurance policies that cover the awards. And when the insurance companies raise their premiums, they just double the increase amount and pass it along to the suckers...er...patients.
