On another note, RIP to the mother who lost her life in he hospital. Sue the hospital for every doller they got. Murder is Murder no matter what race!
I hope that hospital goes down as hard as the woman did.
I would have been sitting right by her side.
Hope the hospital is made to pay for such neglect.
