  To whom is "Liberty" afforded at this hospital? The actions of the staff at this hospital including summoning the police to remove a patient from her hospital bed who is repeatedly complaining of respiratory distress and shortness of breath is outrageous behavior for medical personnel. Her complaints of shortness of breath should have been worked up and fully investigated and because these steps were not taken a diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism went undiagnosed. At the very least, 02 saturation with & without oxygen and at rest and walking (exertion) should have been conducted. To ultimately investigate the shortness of breath, skip VQ scan and order a stat chest CT with pulmonary embolism protocol. Since this patient was breathless and short winded without oxygen, and did not require oxygen before admission, the discharge should have been classified as unsafe because one cannot discharge a patient home who is requiring oxygen when he or she does not wear oxygen at home. The patient must first be weaned from oxygen or either go home with oxygen depending on the underlying cause for the need for oxygen but first the cause for continued oxygenation has to be determined. If pain is what the patient says it is, then shortness of breath is what the patient says it is. A patient collapsing in the hospital's parking lot after she reported numerous times that she was short of breath, and not only that, had her oxygen removed by an officer of the law who may or may not have a medical back ground should result in arrest and permanent revocation of medical and nursing licenses. I have never been admitted to this hospital and will never agree to admission there. I would rather die with dignity at home then die a shameful death.
