david, an 79-year-old elderly war hero with no living relatives,
drove himself at night to a local hospital when he experienced
shortness of breath and a headache. When he entered the emergency
room (ER), he was placed in a wheelchair and briefly seen by an ER
doctor. He was told that he could not be admitted since he was a
veteran and had to go to a VA hospital, which was 90 miles away,
for treatment. David was wheeled into the hallway to wait for
transportation to a VA hospital. The night shift was busy. After
sitting in the hall for 5 hours, David complained that he needed to
lie down. The ER staff, who had been trying to move him to a VA
hospital with no luck, finally transferred him by ambulance to a
local nursing home in the wheelchair. David had a massive stroke
shortly after being admitted to the nursing home and died six weeks
later.
