Woman Dies on Hospital Floor
July 2, 2008 Kristance Harlow
Yes, I’m back. I’ll be blogging again after a long hiatus and the first story is a real doozy. I’m sure you’ve heard by now about the woman who fell and was dying on the hospital floor, if you haven’t seen the surveillance video you can watch it right here:
I really don’t know what to say, would you let someone lie there like that? On an AOL poll 0% of people said they would “Do nothing” but obviously someone is lying. Anyone remember the elderly man who was recently involved in a hit and run while bystanders just watched and walked away? If you forgot I’ll show you that tape too:
I hope that never happens to me, grow a pair and lend a hand. Stupid passiveness, unwilling to save someone’s life but not unwilling to wage wars, typical.
