And false imprisonment, kidnapping, & then we move to any and all federal crimes.

This hospital just did so many things wrong the mind boggles. If they have anything akin to a QS-9000 or TS-16949 certification it ought to be revoked until they get their act together.

Everyone who prevented this couple from leaving should be fired immediately, and perhaps charges should be filed for unlawful imprisonment or something. At the very least those who got physical should have assault charges filed against them.

He’s not asking for nearly enough. The hospital needs to be sued out of existence.

What will Mr. Wheeler do with the hospital he is about to own?

My hospital horror story:

Some years ago my wife fell down our front steps. There are only four but they are flagstone and she was really bruised up. I took her to the emergency room at a nearby Massachusetts hospital. I waited for her. Time passed. After an hour and a half I got up to see what was happening. My wife came bustling down the hall, furious. As we left she told me that after treating her bruises, the hospital staff took her to a room where a policewoman and hospital Patient Ombudsmen waited. For the next 45 minutes they harranged her with, "It's OK, Mrs. XXXXX. He can't hurt you anymore. We want you to swear-out a criminal complaint against him. We are going to put him away for good." My wife spent the next 45 minutes telling them that she had fallen down the stairs. They refused to believe her. Finally she stood up and just walked out. This is the state of feminism run insane in particular and of Massachusetts in general.

Hardly anything surprises me, but this did. I couldn’t believe it happened in America! Beware, it may be coming to a town near you! Lord bring sanity back to our beautiful country!

So what happened to the cancer patient that was supposed to have the surgery?

Probably broke a bunch of ribs, etc., so they wouldn't have to go through the bother of correcting 'his' records.

I’ve read thrillers (fiction) that were less scary, and I can only say that I wish I was there to help these poor people.
The hospital would have a lot more patients, and lot less staff, I can tell you that.

Stuff like this really pisses me off. When you don’t have control over your own life, and in fact things are completley out of control, nightmares become reality.

Like our current government.

You don’t come in here and tell us what to do - is this future of Obamacare?

That depends. Do you believe that Obama is creating a civilian "security force" which answers directly to the executive branch, as a way to circumvent posse comitatus?

'Hell no, he don't come up in here and be telling us what the fuck to do!'"

I believe that they'll sound exactly like this.

The Business Socialists may disagree....but this hospital needs to be sued silly by this man. If the guy was really a “cancer patient”....you would not be beating the hell out of him in the first place.

The Wheelers seek $3.2 million in compensatory damages and $9.5 million in punitive damages for assault and battery, false imprisonment and infliction of emotional distress.

If this is true, the this is not enough to sue for. And the security guard needs to be charged for felony assault.

I had my tonsils removed at that hospital 35+ yrs ago!

Problem was, you came in with a broken arm.

Is this version of this story even remotely plausible to everyone here?
