This is a follow up to an earlier story about a death at Adventist Health Medical Center in Oregon. The hospital has taken considerable heat over its handling of a patient who wrecked his car in the hospital parking lot while seeking treatment for heart attack symptoms. Police on the scene stated that emergency room personel that night failed to provide medical help for the man, and instead told officers to call an ambulance.
So, one week after the indicent, Adventist Health held this news conference and produced a video showing that they did send a paramedic on foot out to check on the man. Why it took the hospital an entire week to produce this video is anyone's guess. And what about the report made by the three police officers? Were they just malicious? Or is there more to this story? We'll have to wait and see...
