There's ugly and then...never mind. All she had to do was tell ems she had chest pains, severe abdominal pain, or felt weak and disorientated and they would have had to haul her to the er to be checked out and "hey, will you x-ray my knee while I'm here".
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the woman as being the sole problem. She can't drive and has nobody to take her. Assuming she doesn't know how to arrange for an Uber ride or some other ride-share, if it is even available in her area, how else is she supposed to get to the hospital? Nothing was said about them providing her with a non-emergency number to use for ambulatory transport instead of using 911, or for any other alternative transportation for that matter.
The picture says it all. She is mentally ill, unable to function in society, needs psychiatric help and medication, jail or the courts system is not the answer. The police should have seen this and should have responded appropriately.

ReplyDeleteMost ambulance companies will not haul you to the hospital unless you are in an accident or call 911.
ReplyDeleteDamn that's one butt-ugly woman
