Actually Scott that was the closest appropriate facility to where the incident took place, it is closer than the tub in the med center and there are no other hospitals in the area so therefore the Medics made the proper decision.

I am king of "foot in mouth", or I think I am. Maybe I'm just court jester?

Please PM me with any decent Crow recipes.

Haha. My mistake.


I just deleted this huge post explaining how far away the hospital was compared to Taub and Memorial SE!

Somehow, when I first read this I interpreted it as Memorial SW.

My bad. I fail reading comprehension 101.

I could not for the life of me understand why they took him all the way over to Southwest.

I am estimating there were probably a dozen or more trauma centers nearby. What are the odds that 'none' had room?

I'm not exaggerating when I say that they passed the world's largest medical center to take him to the opposite side of town. In good traffic, that drive is about 25 minutes to that hospital. There are several hospitals by NASA, downtown, and the med center, all much closer.

It could be that the press was wrong as stated above, but that just NEVER happens, right??

If they were accurate though, it's a very weird scenario.

Besides the obvious with this story... here's part that was odd to me.

"As police tried to separate the two men, they noticed the 42-year-old was having trouble breathing and called paramedics. The man was taken to Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital, where he was pronounced dead."

That hospital is a LONG way from where this incident took place. There are plenty of hospitals MUCH closer including the entire Med Center which is literally the world's largest medical center. I guess they didn't think it was serious?? Strange.
