All that are ignored are not 'garbage', and this woman may not have been either. LA especially is a mess! 2 years ago, my x husband was in a auto accident. Broken leg, ankle, damage from the air bag, etc. The ambulance to him took LA Hospital. Ten days later someone found out where he was. They wouldn't let him use a phone, and hardly anyone could speak English. In all that time, they simply gave him pain meds, never set the broken bones!!!

By the time my kids got to LA and got him to the VA hospital he was nearly dead.

“...never set the broken bones!!!”

Holy freaking crap! Sorry for the language, but that is just unbelievable.

I hope he is OK now.

That’s horrible, but what pisses me off is that honest, responsible people who really need help urgently, often don’t get it because the emergency rooms and hospital wards are overwhelmed with scammers and criminals and people who have self-inflicted their ailments. Yes, it’s possible that this woman wasn’t “garbage”, but she did have an arrest warrant out for her. Probably no angel. And we have no information about how many other patients with urgent life-threatening conditions the ER staff was dealing with while they left her on the floor.
