In Florida, the ambulance refused to save the young mother, deciding that she could not pay for it.
Four paramedics from Tampa, Florida, have been suspended from their duties pending an investigation after they refused to take a woman who had recently given birth to a stroke to the hospital. The doctors decided that she could not afford this challenge, misinterpreting the patient’s words. Krystle Galloway died, leaving an 11-day-old son and two older children orphans.
30-year-old Kristle brought her shocked mother Nicole Black to the hospital, tells Mirror. Before this, the mother found her daughter unconscious in the bathroom. Six days earlier, the woman had undergone a caesarean section, which resulted in the birth of a boy. Having regained consciousness, Krystle complained of pain in her head. Nicole called an ambulance and explained that her daughter was "breathing, but there was drool coming out of her mouth."
According to Black, when the paramedics from the Hillsboro County Fire Service arrived, instead of providing immediate help to her daughter, they doubted whether the family could afford the call and go to the hospital in an ambulance.
“My daughter begged for salvation,” the mother says. “But all they cared about was that she couldn’t afford an ambulance.”
After the doctors carried Galloway through three flights of stairs, they continued to waste time talking about the cost of the call, the mother says. And then she herself decided to take her daughter, in which the paramedics supported her, setting the woman in the mother’s car.
“The daughter begged for her life, she begged,” Black repeats over and over again.
Galloway was taken to the 4 hospital in July, where doctors discovered that she had a cerebral hemorrhage. The young mother fell into a coma and died five days later. The paramedics denied Black’s complaints, claiming that she herself decided to take her daughter to the hospital and only asked for help to bring her down.
Hillsborough County Fire Department spokesman Lt. John Morris said medics would have taken Galloway to the hospital if her condition "appeared critical" when they arrived.
