A mother is suing hospital security personnel after they put her son in a taxi and sent him home, even though he was already dead!
Via
UPI
Hospital security guards sent, A'Darrin Washington, who they claimed was
"uncooperative" and "refusing to talk or move," home from the hospital.
A'Darrin had been going to the hospital for 10 years for treatment
for recurrent pneumonia associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. On Nov.
14, A'Darrin was admitted to the hospital and misdiagnosed with
bacterial pneumonia.
After he was correctly diagnosed with fungal
pneumonia and given the proper medication, the hospital said he was
ready to be discharged on Nov. 21 even though he was still feeling weak
and ill.
A nurse
called for security to escort Mr. Washington from his hospital bed to
the lobby for discharge because Mr. Washington was allegedly
'uncooperative' and 'refusing to talk or move,'" the complaint states.
"Mr. Washington was unresponsive due to the fact that he was dying."
When hospital called a taxi service to take A'Darrin
home the next day, the hospital security guards moved him from a
wheelchair and into the cab, according to his mother.
She claims that the guards put her son in the taxi and even
crossed his legs. When he arrived at home after a 45-minute trip, he was
"unresponsive and cold to the touch."
She is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for negligence, wrongful death and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
