Woman’s Death increases Pressure on LA Hospital to close down
June 14, 2007 at 4:56 PM
General Health News
Like wise two emergency calls to the 911 too was rejected by the dispatchers, ultimately leading to the death of the woman. Newly released tapes of 911 calls reveal that a woman who lay bleeding on the floor of the emergency room died last month after dispatchers refused to contact paramedics or an ambulance to take her to another facility.
Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital, once a symbol of hope in the inner city, struggled Wednesday to survive amid new reports of breakdowns in patient care, the replacement of its chief medical officer and an ultimatum to correct long-running problems or close.
Edith Isabel Rodriguez, 43, had been taken to Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital for treatment of what the county coroner later determined was a perforated bowel on May 9th. She waited 45 minutes, without treatment, before she died.
The County coroner believes that she would have survived if had received timely help.
The whole incident was caught on camera, the video from an ER camera showed staff members and patients standing by as a janitor cleaned the floor around Rodriguez, who was buried Tuesday in Tehachapi, Calif.

"Adhesion Related Disorder (ARD)"has not been confirmed as a condition that Edith Isabel Rodriguez had, but in my opinion it very well what caused her symptms. ARD is typical of what Edith Isabel Rodriguez experienced - as well as her death surrounded by ignorance and hostility within the medical arena. Others afflicted with ARD have died and are treated the same way Mrs. Rodriguez was.. unfortunately. I invite, and encourage you to please visit this web site: http://www.adhesionrelateddisorder.com for more information on ARD.
I am hoping that anyone reading my post will take this unfortunate situation and loss of a young mother a step further by acclimating yourselves to a most hideous medical condition that rivals appendectomies, heart bypass surgery and hip replacements in our country, and throughout the world.
Let not that Edith died in vain!
