Reply to comment by allhailthehale in Rhode Island woman dies in police custody in Tennessee by Meatball_Grinder

From what I understand it wasn’t the first hospital to refuse her the medical care she needed.

Upon further reading, it sounds like she was 'treated' to the extent of their legal obligation and discharged against her will. Everyone thought she was being dramatic and the police were called to remove her.

Just seen as another 'dumb nuisance patient' who doesn't know what they're talking about, I guess.

Given that she died of a second stroke shortly after discharge, perhaps that legal obligation needs to be reevaluated. She apparently knew better than the medical professionals what she was talking about.
