Man captures a now viral video of "patient dumping" outside Baltimore hospital

Baltimore EMS is so overwhelmed EVERY transport to the hospital is done via lights and siren to return the units to service ASAP, this is NOT normal practice. When I wasn an EMT in MD, BFD was the only EMS I’ve ever heard of that can refuse a patient transport. (Many people call the ambo to go to the hospital for their Rx, dialysis, etc.)

Blacks being cruel to blacks, but somehow it's whiteys fault.

It takes one who doesn't possess a soul to do something like this. Seriously, this is beyond the pale.

We live in a very cruel world and you don't slide out of it by blaming the blacks.

There is no reason for them to dump her out in a hospital gown. They have plenty of blankets and I'm sure some of the churches have clothes and shoe closets.

It would require coordination with various agencies but discharge can be done correctly! This is not even humane!

Thank goodness for the man who filmed that!

i wonder how many are just put to sleep?

True story: When I was a cop in MD. I got hit by a speeding taxi and was transported to Shock Trauma downtown. They cut my uniform off and another officer was holding onto my gun belt. When I was discharged a few hours later, I left the hospital (in the hood of West Baltimore) wearing paper scrubs, foam slippers and my gun belt (with gun) slung over my shoulder. Of course no one seemed to notice.

They guy filming called 911 and the person went back to the same hospital. WTH??

Wow. Profoundly heartbreaking.

Why is there's no protocol in place for dicharging homeless or other patients?

Is this even legal??

If you are old and broke,
go live under the freeway.
Better to die there than...

Usually I support this, but of any city in the us, Baltimore has a clear race line.

The blacks are absolutely to blame for the problems post Freddie grey, the Opoid crisis due to looting pharmacy’s during riots, the crime against cops.

But they were not always to blame, Baltimore is a fucked up city from the poorest to the riches politicians, that city had been divided for a long time.

Good grief! Couldn't any of your peers come pick you up?

Agreed.

Blacks always and i mean always blame whitey for their fuckups

I personally know a woman who has a "bleeding issue", who waits until it's life threatening, because she doesn't want to sit in the er. If she goes by ambulance, the service is much more prompt and attentive.

Saw it on local news this morning. Disgusting.

Just part and parcel of this Soros OSI test city.

Legal, albeit, immoral.

I was involved with a neighbor who came sick to my home.
We called the ambulance and they took him to hospital.
They kept him long enough to find out his insurance was
crap, and they sent him home, in a hospital gown and he
died the next day. He lived out in the country near to
no one, except me. I called and spoke with everyone I could
to protest this action, but they said they were a business
not a charity. I could not help but think this guy would
be on medicaid if he did not hold down his job that kept
him paying house and utilities. If he had not been white
perhaps? He died...with no options, no compassion, and
alone.

This happened in Texas, College Station...

Where are the liberals??? They never attack their own unless it furthers their agenda

You gonna take her to your house then? Pay for her medical care?

No. Whites being cruel to whites and somehow it's always everybody else's fault. It's mostly white patients that are being dumped in the streets and white administrators making the decision to do so. They know better than to dump non-whites because, imagine the fuss in the media! But there's nobody to speak up for whites, least of all other whites.

"Spoke with everyone you could"....?

At the hospital?
District attorney?
Ombudsman?
Politicians?

(Not dounbting YOU) but Hard to beleive that your neighbor wasn't taken care of.

In San Francisco, one of the mental wards had a policy of releasing the real loons at around 10 at night in a semi-remote location by the water. I found out when one of them started following us. He was clearly still high as fuck on heavy pharma and not capable or ready for being dumped on a side street. Someone caught me up on what was going on after we managed to ditch the dude.

Yup, seen it in many cities -- up north where it gets extremely cold. Not even info on where they could go...

...it's very backwards coming from a hospital out of all places...

;) It is what it is I suppose, but let's stick to the main point, right?

Yes, hard to believe, but the truth...
I was shocked, and was going to contact the news media
but he was put in a cab home before the time the hospital
had said they would look further had elapsed.

I saw the taxi pull into my drive. I had his house keys I had
gotten as we were putting him in the ambulance. I personally
spoke with hospital supervisors, administrators. More would
have been done but he died before that happened. He showed
up at my door in his hospital gown.

It was, and is, still distressing. This article brought those memories
all back. I could not imagine in this day and age, this happening.
It certainly did though.

Insurance...none...he delivered pizza for a living in Houston.
He kept his life together until it fell apart. He did not deserve to
die like that. There was no time to contact churches, or media.
Two or three days, he was gone. And yes, the hospital administrator
was very defensive in insisting they were not running a charity.
No money, out you go.

There was no autopsy. No one but his neighbors even wanted to
know why he died.
