He’s not asking for nearly enough. The hospital needs to be sued out of existence.
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.
OMG that hospital owes that man BIG.When the H*ll did security get the right to tell anyone that they couldn’t leave the hospital when they wanted to do that.UNless someone is committed to the phsy ward unvoluntarily I do not think they have ny right to stop anyone from leaving.
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.
......!
security guards at Prince George's Hospital beat him up when he tried to leave the hospital to avoid chest surgery he didn't need
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.
If this is true, the this is not enough to sue for. And the security guard needs to be charged for felony assault.
Is this version of this story even remotely plausible to everyone here?
The Show Me State does not like what it sees in a Chicagoland health care system.
Stories like this one will become common place.
In Utah we got some hidden camera footage of a security gurad at the State Hospital (a mental health facility) physically and mentally abusing a blind patient while he was trying to take a bath. Watching the video makes you want to kick the guard’s teeth in and ask him how it feels.
It takes a “pretty tough man” to abuse hospital patients. such people are degraded filth. I hope someone teaches those “security guards” a very sharp and personal lesson with a 2x4.
Just think how much more wonderful hospitals will be once the Federal Government is in charge of all health care.
“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.”
You’ll rarely see me say this, but - NOT ENOUGH.
Colonel, USAFR
Oh, them frisky Amish Security Guards... Always horseplayin' around in the Cancer Ward. They so funny...
This story appears to contain a fundamental error. Surely, there is a floating decimal mistake that prevented the 32 million damages and the 95 million punitive award from being expressed properly.
Note to self:
Pack heat everywhere you go.
In a better world, this is where the wife pulls out her carry pistol.
Defendant Scott replied, ‘Hell no, he don’t come up in here and be telling us what the fuck to do!’”
