Update: Woman dies in ER lobby as 911 refuses to help

Hospital may lose license after ER lobby death
Public facility has been plagued by history of substandard care.

Edith Isabel Rodriguez
After she collapsed, surveillance cameras show that Rodriguez was left for dead on the floor.
Nurses walked past her. A janitor cleaned up around her. No one did anything until police were called to cart her away. They didn’t get far before she went into cardiac arrest and died.

WTF?

Woman dies in ER lobby as 911 refuses to help
Tapes show operators ignored pleas to send ambulance to L.A. hospital

Due to copywright laws I can't give you the story here but essentially a woman lay bleeding on an emergency room floor of an inner-city hospital in Los Angeles.
911 dispatchers refused to get any help for her after the hospital said they couldn't help her there.
Also, it appears that she died while the Police were wheeling her out of the hospital after arresting her for a parole violation!

Now please correct me if I am wrong but is there some reason that any human being, regardless of who they are, their history or their criminal background should EVER be treated this way?

I am normally not an advocate for "sue happy people" but in this case I would sue the asses off this Hospital. the Paramedics and the 911 Dispatchers just to make an example of how you can not have such a damned lack of caring for another human being!

I am really shocked by this story!
