How could she be cold to the touch after just 15 minutes?
The human body at room temperature takes something like 12 hours to equilibrate.
If you want a view into hell, check out St Louis.
That doctor, the hospitals involved, and the STL city govt will be making Ms Brown’s children wealthy.
Too bad Mom had to suffer and die in such a terrible way.
Funny, I read the first sentence and thought she could have blood clots. I have no medical background.
RIP.
BTW that Doc who said she was healthy enough to be put in jail is gonna need to find a new job cuz he will never find someone to sell him malpractice insurance now.
This woman had 8 or 9 siblings who are now demanding answers. Where were they when their poor sister was alive and needed them? Why, with such a large family, was she homeless? These so-called siblings deserve as much if not more blame for the woman's death as the doctor who cleared her for being arrested.
There have been some comments here about “drug seeking behavior.” In 1995, when I was 40 years old, I sought treatment at the local Catholic hospital for lower back pain. I was given a pain shot and turned out. I went back a few days later begging for more than just a pain shot. I was told that another doctor said I didn’t have health insurance, and was asked to leave, I don’t remember if I got a pain shot or not. A few days later I was back, this time armed with an Rx to receive an IVP to rule out kidney stones. I was consequently admitted for four days and receive treatment for kidney stones. I was fully covered from the beginning with my husband’s IBEW insurance.
The doctor in the E.R. treated me like a drug seeker; like SH*T. It’s standard operating procedure. There’s just a profile, and as a 40 year old married woman, I guess I fit it. Maybe I wasn’t dressed well enough, or didn’t have on my makeup. Maybe my wedding rings weren’t impressive enough. I felt like hell and was barely functional. Doctors are ridged and the most discriminatory people walking the face of the earth. One of them is going to kill me someday.
Oh, and the hospital have the nerve to charge me for the first two E.R. visits. A well-written letter (something about malpractice pain and suffering, etc.) got those charges reversed.
Having been on Medicaid until recently, I am not surprised at all by this report. Medicaid recipients are often treated like dirt and even more often not treated at all. Sometimes it’s the same thing.
