Many years ago, the ambulance company I worked for sent my partner and me to a patient’s room in Palisades General Hospital to render aid to one of their patients and remove him to the emergency department of another facility. Dr. Applebaum, supposedly watching this happen, was capable of persuading another physician to treat his father, or at least arranging an emergency transfer to another facility since this one was not caring for his father’s condition. He did not do so. There is more to this story than given in this article.
Palisades General, known as the Stairway to Heaven, closed a couple of years after that incident.
