Holy crap. I say that not b/c the hospital didn't help her (even though that sucks), but b/c her family asked some police to help her and instead they arrested her!

A woman who lay bleeding on the emergency room floor of a troubled inner-city hospital died after 911 dispatchers refused to contact paramedics or an ambulance to take her to another facility

Relatives reported she died as police were wheeling her out of the hospital after the officers they had asked to help Rodriguez arrested her instead on a parole violation.

BTW, a perforated bowel does not sound pleasant.

The fact that she was at a troubled inner city hospital called Martin Luther King Jr Hospital further proves what Chris Rock said on his CD was true!

sad story...
pretty chilling...

Relatives said Rodriguez was bleeding from the mouth and writhing in pain for 45 minutes while she was at a hospital waiting area. Experts have said she could have survived had she been treated early enough.



In the recordings of two 911 calls that day, first obtained by the Los Angeles Times under a California Public Records Act request, callers pleaded for help for Rodriguez but were referred to hospital staff instead.
"I'm in the emergency room. My wife is dying and the nurses don't want to help her out," Rodriguez's boyfriend, Jose Prado, is heard saying in Spanish through an interpreter on the tapes.
"What's wrong with her?" a female dispatcher asked.
"She's vomiting blood," Prado said.
"OK, and why aren't they helping her?" the dispatcher asked.
"They're watching her there and they're not doing anything. They're just watching her," Prado said.
The dispatcher told Prado to contact a doctor and then said paramedics wouldn't pick her up because she was already in a hospital. She later told him to contact county police officers at a security desk.


This is an interresting new area...calling 911 from inside a hospital...
That hospital should be shut down & their family will be rich.

Never ever hit a woman. Never, never hit a woman. But you can sure shake the sh** outta one!

I like how this thread started off with a weird and sad story and has now turned into a Chris Rock quote thread!
