OH DEM POOAH NEGRAS--VOL MXCVLII

Once again rampant racism harms Blacks, only it is the Blacks who are behind the entire sordid situation. Cutting to the chase, we have a "hospital" (under other circumstances Blacks would call it a "killing field") here called Martin Luther King Hospital---known locally as "Killer King". This morgue is murdering black patients at a rate not seen since the lynching days in the old South. Despite the revelations of horrid staff and a sex crazed and corrupt administration; the doctors and nurses regularly ignore patients, mistreat patients, actually misdiagnose bullet wounds, and just plain killing them, the Black politicians will not close the place down, claiming it is needed. This "it is needed" campaign is led by a race card playing Black LA County Supervisor named Yvonne Braithwate Burke---go here for some details on this Black winner, and she is backed up by a slave ship filled with other Black politicians. There is not a single big mouth Black with a dollar left on a credit card who will go there. The Black doctors rape the system for insane wages, the latest being a doctor who was billing the county for 22 to 24 hour days of work over a four to six month period of time. (Here is a virtual encylopedia of links regarding this Black run horror chamber) What follows are excerpts from just one article in the totally PC LA Times about a tiny child taken to Killer King....

Dunia's injuries were minor: some scrapes, some bruises and two broken baby teeth. The teeth would have to be pulled.

"They told me to relax," Sulma recalled. "Everything was fine."

At least, it should have been.

What the Tasejos didn't know was that King/Drew, a 233-bed public hospital in Willowbrook, just south of Watts, had a long history of harming, or even killing, those it was meant to serve.

Over the last year, reports by journalists and regulators have offered stark glimpses of failings at King/Drew: Nurses neglecting patients as they lay dying. Staff failing to give patients crucial drugs or giving them toxic ones by mistake. Guards using Taser stun guns on psychiatric patients, despite an earlier warning to stop.

Patients have fled ambulances to avoid it, according to paramedics and one ranking fire official. And police officers say they have an understanding among themselves that, if shot, they will not be taken there.

In the seven hours after Dunia's arrival, the hospital would commit a series of medical errors in treating her, each compounding the one before.

By the middle of that night, the couple were standing outside the pediatric intensive care unit, bewildered and increasingly frightened. Alarms were ringing and doctors were running by. The Tasejos tried to catch the eye of a physician who had reassured them earlier.

"He looked at me," Elias Tasejo recalled. "He kept walking."

Here is an account of Dunia's care, based on her medical records, a state health department investigation, a medical expert consulted by The Times and interviews with her family:

To keep her still during a precautionary CT scan, her 65-pound body was pumped with enough drugs to sedate a grown man.

Paralyzed by the medications, she had to be hooked up to a ventilator to help her breathe. Its settings were wrong; a blood test showed she was being starved of oxygen.

The settings were adjusted to give her more. But inexplicably, an emergency room doctor ordered a trainee physician to pull out Dunia's breathing tube 20 minutes later. No one checked to see whether she could breathe on her own.

For the next two hours, Dunia's nurses failed to monitor her vital signs or breathing, records show. By the time she was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit, she was flailing from lack of oxygen and calling, "Mama."

The medical resident who admitted her to the ICU was unable to operate a machine to check her oxygen levels, and didn't seek help for at least 15 minutes.

By then, Dunia's heart and lungs had stopped working. Doctors resuscitated her, but later that day she was declared brain dead.

After two days, she was removed from life support.
And of course this is all Whitey's fault; nobody on this production line of death was charged with murder, manslaughter, or jaywalking. LA County Supervisor Yvonne Braithwaite Burke led the move to keep on killing by stating loudly to her Black racist supporters in South Central LA, that if it isn't broke don't fix it.

Why isn't Jessie Jackson here? How about the Reverend Al? Mfume? Charlie Rangel? Why aren't their two racist Congress Persons here? You know why they aren't here. The only way to get publicity is to blame the white doctors and administrators, and there is not a single white who works there, except for a janitor or two.

Must be the Hip Hop music.
