This is sad. She's a human being and for people in a hostpital to react to her in that way is unheard of.

The police didn't do anything wrong either by arresting her and taking her out of the emergency room?

I think the police should have known something was wrong with her.

That's huge malpractice and wrongful death suit somebody will have to pay to this family.
You can see chick is morbidly obese and had gallstones. That means they were near her hepatic portal vein. So yes, that chit goes back to the heart... Worse yet, if it burst and broke in bagillion microscopic pieces that got into her capillaries that may be damaged due to hypertension, then she probably had a embolism and stroked out.
But, that's pure speculation on my part.
That's just jacked up.

The article says she died of a bowel perf., which led to poisening, basically. I can't even imagine how much that must have hurt.

We need tort reform to protect hospitals from the out of control jury verdicts which will be the result of such cases 
(not really)

i think people in general just sue entirely too much.
in this case? with all the other problems this hospital had? they need to be sued for every dime they have.

The police aren't medical professionals. When you call 911 you need to realize that we can't all do the same thing.
It looks like it's a shitty hospital anyway and a lot of ED nurses are pretty jaded after working the job for so long. A lot of fakers do come through the ED.

i hope the hospital gets sued and also the pd and also the nurses and drs who didn't do anything when the cops were there and also the company that manufacutured her bed sheets
i don't think people sue enough in this country, everytime sometime says that, I think they just think that because of the liberal media

There's legislation on the table in my state which would completely immunize emergency rooms from claims by uninsured parties.

So, if you don't have health insurace, and you have a heart attack, and they refuse to treat you, and you die in the lobby, your family couldn't sue?
