Oregon Live – Thursday, February 10, 2011:
Marin-Fuentes left his Southeast Portland home sometime between midnight and 12:30 a.m. Thursday and drove in his black Kia 1.4 miles to Portland Adventist Medical Center.
Suffering a heart attack, he crashed into a steel pillar and wall inside the first level of the hospital’s parking garage, below a sign that read “Emergency parking only” about 125 feet from the emergency room entrance.
No one noticed him for about 20 minutes, hospital officials said. But once a bystander did, the person flagged down Portland Officer Angela Luty, who was leaving the hospital’s emergency room on an unrelated traffic case.
Two minutes later, Luty and a second officer, Robert Quick, found Marin-Fuentes unresponsive and unconscious in his car in the parking garage, and began cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Two other officers who arrived ran into the ER to seek help from medical personnel, and were told to call 9-1-1 for an ambulance, Portland Sgt. Pete Simpson said.
“Hospital said they won’t come out,” Officer Andrew Hearst radioed to dispatch. “We need to contact AMR first.”
The officers were stunned.
“It’s certainly very frustrating for the officers who are not medical professionals in a hospital parking lot, to be told they have to call for an ambulance to help this man. The officers didn’t stand there and argue, they continued CPR,” Simpson said. “But they were in disbelief.”
Progessives suck, they created this situation…their agenda needs to be stopped..
Vote the bastards out in 2012…its time for real change
Alfred have your nanny change your nappie, your so full of it its spilling out.
WTF Alfred? Fucking up on the scale things are broken right now requires massive bipartisan coalitions.
I feel like we might of had a chance to prevent this back when Perot was running. But we missed that opprotunity.
Now the only way to fix it painfully would be with a coalition consisting of Paul, Kuscinich, and Sanders. But that’s no more likely than Perot chances. We need a REAL revolution to make it happen.
The radical right talk so much about trial lawyers, but did you know they have trial lawyers on their side too?
Left trial lawyers bad.
Right trial lawyers good.
Doubleplus good!
