Woman dies on emergency room floor - no one accountable?

Yea, you read that right. In Los Angeles a woman who had a perforated bowel and was writhering in pain was denied medical help. The nurse at Martin Luther King Jr. - Harbor hospital was not criminally negligent despite refusing to examine Edith Rodriguez - who was kneeling and screaming in pain with a perforated bowel - and telling her to get off the floor, according to the   report by Deputy District Attorney Susan Schwartz.

"Prompt intervention would not have saved her life," Schwartz wrote in the report to the Los Angeles Department. 

"It cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt" that the nurse's actions were a substantial factor in the death "or that any member of the MLK nursing or medical staff was criminally negligent" the report said.

When she was denied help at the hospital, her boyfriend as well as another person in the emergency room called 911 for help. They were told that since they were at a hospital that this was not considered an emergency. 

What a nightmare. Whether the hospital was legally negligent, they were most certainly MORALLY negligent. What is wrong with this world. Have we become so desensitized that we allow people to die right in front of our eyes? Apparently so. Appalling.
