911 operators did little...
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- 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, newly released tapes of the emergency calls reveal.
911 operators did little as well as the hospital employees. This woman regardless to what her history is needed help and even with blood coming out of her mouth they still had her sit in the waiting room. I wish that more people would take the extra step to help instead of sitting back and letting politics determine what the next course of action should be. I can only imagine the lawsuit size that will be filed because of the poor performance that was displayed and because of this incident the policy will change for future issues. That my dear friends is one of the reasons why I wish people would act quicker on those moments, changing a policy after the fact will not bring that woman or anyone else for that matter back after their dead. If it's not in your policy but you know that saving a life is the right thing to do then for god's sake please take a step forward and help out.

I think they should have fired that one 911 employee, there was no reason for him to be that rude considering that woman was lying there dying on the floor.
I agree with you 100% but you and I know that like police officers who shoot an innocent person they'll only get what is commonly used for those oops moments - sensitivity training.
