I'm not placing blame on the victim or her daughter. The hospital staff is clearly at fault. I'm simply saying, had that been my loved one, I never would have allowed that much time to pass.
Think Shirley McClaine at the nursing station in 'Terms of Endearment'. I've been there, done that.
The daughter DID try:
"As they waited, Monique Vance told Barrett, she twice asked nurses when her mother would see a doctor. The first time she asked, a nurse said her mother was next on the list to be called, Barrett said. The second time, a nurse told her that two ambulances had just arrived with more urgent cases.
"She said she was half-tempted to call 911 from the hospital just to get her mom back there," Barrett testified."
