they left a 69 yo bleeding, unconscious man unattended. That’s stupid on many levels.
Agreed, luckily they are not facing charges of criminally negligent homicide. Unconscious patients should never be left unattended. Anything can happen, aspiration injury and chocking being a real risk. That blew my mind when I read that. If true I hope the penalties are large and cause the individuals and corporations involved some real pain. That’s some third world stuff right there.
I appreciate your additional details and information. To compound United’s legal jeopardy, the unconcious, bleeding near-70 yo had been tased point blank—younger people have died from this—and he is a dr. Dao knew all the right things to say and do once they got him to the hospital, that much we can count on.
If you’re going to put a man’s life at risk, you shouldn’t select a dr to do it to. It’s bad for business.
