To call the EMS system there inept and poorly led is to be charitable. The priorities of the organizations involved, EMS, and the particular hospital in question deserve the scrutiny they are receiving. Neither are models of the kinds of institutions they are supposed to be. Having worked in the medical system in D.C., I am sad to say that the story is both tragic and not surprising.

Assume the worst. Scan everything. Don't miss anything. Bankrupt the hospital, Medicare, Medicaid. Keep the lawyers away. That is the game. Sounds like this guy got a raw deal.
