I haven't heard nearly enough about this case since it broke last year. I am still wondering what happened to the callous 911 dispatcher who told one caller that the woman, who lay dying on the hospital floor, was "not an emergency" and refused to call another ambulance to take her somewhere she could get medical attention.
Inescuasble is the only term that comes to mind for he behavior of the hospital staff and tehe 911 dispatchers and I wonder, why were the dispatchers not arrested and jailed, along with the hospital staff?
In my home state of Pennsylvania, criminal charges would quickly follow. Not suspensions or reprimands -- charges, trial, conviction and prison time!
I hope the Rodriguez family gets the $45 million, plus some.
