Hard to Believe but True

Kaiser Permaninte (sp) the healthcare behemoth was indicted today in Los Angeles for "patient dumping". That is the act of abandoning an indigent patient on the street. Take that in for a second...yeah, it's something so disgusting that the mind doesn't readily grasp it. In this case a 63 year old women with obvious mental deficiencies in addition to her physical ailments was driven to skid row in LA via taxi late at night, removed from the vehicle and physically placed on the sidewalk. She was then left to wander aimlessly as the car drove away. Part of that sad story was captured on a security tape which evidently was instrumental in charges being brought. It is doubtful that any true justice could be achieved in a case like this and KP will most likely pay a "ashtray" money fine. I do wish that some "activist" judge gets a hold of this one and forces some KP execs to do some serious come to Jesus time on the street on LA's skid row. It is one of the truly most desperate and hopeless places I've ever seen but it WOULD be a perfect place to give an object lesson to whomever made the decisions that facilitated this heinous act. I'd also check them carefully to see if they are even human....maybe there are aliens among us.
