If the doctor can't help you for $75, throw you in the stairwell.

SEIU is busy having illegal immigrant rallies at the National Mall.

I would also question why they could not ascertain where she went from video surveillance. I have been in a number of hospitals in recent years due to aging/ill relatives and they have friggin cameras everywhere. I sure would not be lauding the hospital as “stellar”. There are a lot of things that have a definite stink about this.

despite the announcement at a news conference, questions swirled about how Spalding – a British native who worked in hospitality sales – could have ended up in a remote stairwell on the fourth floor. Spalding had entered the hospital on Sept. 19 with a urinary tract infection, and was last seen on Sept. 21...

"Big Elevator" is to blame. No one takes the stairs anymore - why else would her body go unnoticed for weeks?

A print article said that opening a door to the stairwell triggers an alarm, and nobody heard anything!

This type of thing was in a movie called “The Hospital” many years ago.

It was a comedy-—because that type of thing would never happen. I guess they were wrong.

San Fransicko? The hospital staff was probably having sex with the body for the past couple weeks.

That movie portrayed Obamacare.

It was supposed to be fiction.

the hospital has absolutely no right to keep a patient in his or her room if they want to leave,unless there is a Mental Health hold....a patient even in isolation can not be prohibted from walking about, using the water faucet or the public bathrooms, or just walking out.....

nor does the hospital have the right or the responsibility to try to find and catch people leaving....its illegal and its impossible...

this woman went out a seldom used stairwell....perhaps it locked from within somehow and she sat out there for the entire two weeks....perhaps she was hiding beneath the stairs where she wouldn't be seen....

BUT if you do want hospitals to prevent people from ever leading per the govt orders, I 'm sure obammay has it in his master plan..I'm sure we'd all like to be forced to take treatment in a "facility" because its for our own good.....

Wife works there. It’s the major public hospital where they take all the
‘Public sector patients’. She says its both crazy and scary at same time. Always takes elevator. Has had numerous crazy stories. This hospital is down by the bad bad sections of SF. Old huge crazy building built 120 yrs ago

Has Halloween written all over it.

Still this poor woman deserved better.

Very true. I've been in that hospital many times, it's old, it's huge, and the politics stink. I worked there for several years many years ago. As a kid, I got admitted there for various injuries. One time for a broken finger and wrist, I waited over an hour in pain in the hallway for someone to see me. Another time my bicycle collided with a truck, and I held a bloody towel to my head for about an hour and a half; I got 13 stitches. They fix things, it's just busy and crazy there. When I grew up I went elsewhere for treatment.

Early recipient of Obamacare!

Either that, or the poor woman tried signing up for Obamacare and became so frustrated by continuing to be shut out, gave up and ended it all, ahead of the death panels.

The Age Of Irresponsibility. It’s nobody’s fault. Never is.

“Right now, we are exploring implementing positive measures to ensure that unfortunate occurrences like this neeeever happens again.” (And now let’s all forget it, especially you over there little miss perfect who I guess has never made a mistake in her life), always says the spokesman who drew the short straw.

Dead patient in the hospital stairwell has been there over two weeks covered in maggots? Bah, that’ll blow over in a day or so. Not to worry, we’ll take about three minutes of pain on the 11 o’clock news then they’ll go right to sports and weather with Chip Stormgale. Maybe the news will cover this again nine months from now when our insurance settles out of court.

Nobody ever loses their job no matter what happens, unless somebody says something that’s construed to be racist.

ok, obamacare is the worst thing to happen to the United States of America, but how in the world can you claim that the death of this woman is the direct result of obamacare since she died before it was implemented? I understand your premise, but zerocare began to kick in 10/1 and this poor woman was dead before that date.
