Stillbirth Bed Hospital Denied
| QUOTE |
| Rather than wait in the emergency room, the Norgates went to a hotel for the night. Carl Norgate said they were offered a bed in the emergency room, but were told they would have to vacate it if an emergency case arose. |
So she was offered an ER bed, that may or may not have been needed to treat someone else. I think I would have done the same thing, gone to a hotel, but I also would have accepted the responsibility for what happened there.
However, having said that, I still agree with the woman that she should have been offered a regular bed in the hospital. What a horrible ordeal to have to face in the first place, and then end up with a seeming lack of compassion on the part of the hospital.

What an odd case of he said she said. Its obvious that they could have had a bed in the hospital if they wanted, though it would have been in the ER. I would not have allowed my wife to leave the hospital if we thought she was going to give birth at all.
However, it does seem that the hospital was a little less compassionate for a woman in her situation. I would have expected them to try harder to make her more comfortable in her condition.
