A Florida woman died after being arrested and forcibly removed from a hospital where she had gone to seek help for stomach pains. Her family claims that she was mistreated by police and hospital staff, who they say refused to provide proper medical care.
Barbara Dawson, 57, was rushed by ambulance to Calhoun Liberty Hospital in Blountstown, Florida on Sunday evening. She was admitted around 10:30 p.m., treated and cleared by hospital staff, and discharged hours later.
Dawson felt, however, that she needed to remain in the hospital for continued care, telling hospital staff that she "still was not feeling well," relatives told the Tallahassee Democrat. Nurses disagreed, and then “banned” Dawson from the hospital, her family said.
When she refused to leave the hospital after being evicted, hospital staff called police around 4:45 Monday morning.
.....Less than two hours after police were called, Dawson was dead due to a blood clot in her lung, the autopsy found.
