Man captures video of "patient dumping" outside Baltimore hospital



BALTIMORE -- Overnight, Imamu Baraka was walking past a Baltimore hospital when he noticed something he says he'll never forget.

The hospital's security guards had just wheeled a patient to a bus stop, and in the freezing temperatures they left her there. The only thing she had on was a hospital gown.

"It's about 30 degrees out here right now," Baraka says in a recording of the encounter. "Are you OK, ma'am? Do you need me to call the police?" he asks.

It's called "patient dumping" and it doesn't just happen in Baltimore...

Excuse me,..what happened to her regular clothes and if she didn't have any why wouldn't they have contacted a charity to help her?

That is so obnoxious.

Hospitals are places for doctors to experiment on you, give you diseases, possibly kill you, harvest your organs..

and yes throw you on the street in freezing weather without proper clothes..

So you will come back even sicker and they can get the organs they really wanted when you die

The really sad part is that this is apparently a common practice...

and one does not have to be mentally ill or homeless...

just unable to pay - or insurance runs out...

Do a Search for "Patient Dumping". There is lots going on.

Here's another one:

[link to www.sacbee.com]

"Arlan Lewis, 77 and recently homeless, said Woodland Memorial Hospital directed a taxi to take him to Union Gospel Mission in Sacramento. But the mission had no bed for him, so he wound up outside. Shelters and nonprofit groups said the practice, known as “patient dumping,” is not uncommon..."

...

Lewis, a former cook who recently had become homeless after his Social Security check no longer covered his rent, had not asked to be taken to the mission...

Though there are some truly caring individuals in the Health Care Industry, there are far too many that should not be in such work of caring for others in order to get a paycheck. A case in point is one currently happening in Connecticut:

You think that's bad? I was THREATENED at University Medical Center "EVER, EVER to return unless I was BROUGHT IN BY AMBULANCE, DYING" when I was very poor AND WORKING.

Just wanted pain killers so that I could keep my job. I had to be working 6 months to get medical insurance. (Nurses would tell me, "Why didn't you take a job that gave you insurance from Day-1?" Nurses did NOT want to understand I did NOT want, and had never taken the stuff that knocks you out.

Spent more time arguing with nurses that I had NEVER smoked a cigarette of any kind, NEVER taken any illegal drugs of any kind, and NEVER gotten drunk, in part because I had a very, very delicate system. Of course their response was ALWAYS, "You must be LDS." No, but I was about to find a Mormon Bishop and ask permission to say I was LDS just to cut the endless, super stressful aggravation.

Nurses response, "If you're in pain, then take a Nuprin. Goodbye."


So wish I had access to GLP in those days. Last year I spent weeks and weeks in bed feeling like I was never going to recover. This year it was only ONE day of that awful feeling. Tumeric and curry, lots and lots of spices are miracle workers.

Yes I've tried raw chili peppers, sauteed popblando chili peppers with green onions, chopped raw garlic (all consumed with protein.) I've just bought Elderberry Syrup on sale at Sprouts Market.
