Martin Luther King Jr./Charles R. Drew Medical Center

Here is a link to the article at NRO Life & Death in LA

... In fact, I've instructed coworkers that even if I get shot in the waiting room at King/Drew, they're to call an ambulance and have me taken somewhere else.

I'll close with an anecdote: When police officers respond to shootings in Los Angeles, they must advise their watch commanders of the victim's condition so the appropriate detectives can be notified. I was once on the phone with my watch commander as I watched paramedics load a shooting victim into an ambulance. "How's he look?" asked the lieutenant.

"Not that bad," I said, "but they're taking him to King."

"Okay," he said. "I'll call Homicide."
