I say that our BPD IS RESPONSIBLE for the outcome. Anytime there is a procedure and you prevent anyone from diagnosing what is going on with a suspect and delay life saving treatment .... guess what.. you are at fault!!! All the what ifs, maybes and such are speculation.

ginny, where do you get these facts? Did you just make them up? The officers DID NOT transport the doctor to the station! They called a second ambulance and he was taken to the hospital. Quit spreading lies!

He had had strokes before & knew he should not be driving acording to other dr's. His family knew he shouldn't be driving. So he is more responsable for what happened then anyone else

The Officers immediately assumed that this Dr. was drunk and never changed their impression of the situation Had the EMTs been allowed or demanded to do a neuroligical status check they could have immediately identified signs other than a drunk driver situation. For the Officers to transport the Dr. to the station rather then a medical facility is a travisty and grossly compromised his chances of recovery. The fact that the Dr. had stopped taking his BP meds needs to be considered, but, even if he had been on the meds, a medical emergency like a stroke cannot always be prevented. There are 3 parties involved and 3 parties responsible, at different levels, in my opinion.

Previous medical issues are irrelevant. If the police officer did not allow the EMTs to properly examine the person and rule out medical causes for his behavior, that officer delayed treatment of a serious condition. Prompt treatment is critical in stroke patients.

He had had strokes before. They did what they could & didn't see stroke signs. His family is just after monies
