N.C. Mother Says Hospital Security Discharged Her Dead Son For Being 'Unresponsive'
 

A North Carolina woman says hospital security guards sent her son home in a taxi because he was “uncooperative” and “refusing to talk,” although he was dying or already dead.

A’Darrin Washington of Fayetteville died on Nov. 22, 2011, after he was discharged from Cumberland County Hospital.

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

If this story is true, that mother will effectively own that hospital when this all shakes out.

 

They had to lift him from his wheelchair into a taxi, then strap him in, yet he was declared stable. Never mind that his pneumonia was misdiagnosed for a week. When fungal is mistaken as bacterial, it usually means bad things for the patient.

If he was dying, yes. If he was dead, probably not.

 

They'll probably argue that he wasn't dead before. Someone is making bank after this. 

 

I didn't think security could discharge anyone. These guards aren't THAT stupid, either. They see someone that is unresponsive; I'd imagine that it's second nature to ensure that it isn't medically-related.
