NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS IN HOSPITALS ..... BULLSHIT

By Bob Walsh

 

 

Stephen Eric Scantlebury, 33, was an involuntary admission to a HCA hospital facility in Loxahatchee, Florida.  He was on what is often described as a 5150 hold.  

An unnamed nurse entered his room and he attacked her, literally beating her face in.  She is likely to be completely blind. Scantlebury fled the hospital dangling medical monitoring equipment as he ran.  He was quickly apprehended after being Tasered.  

Scantlebury is at least allegedly facing charges of attempted murder.  I am guessing it will be hard to make the charges stick due to the nature of his commitment.  

The Florida Nursing Association is expressing concern over worker safety.  HCA Florida Healthcare issues an essentially meaningless statement of concern and support.
