Veteran Jonathan Montano was brutally beaten to death by VA police in Loma Linda, CA for trying to leave the hospital after waiting 4 hours with a needle in his arm.
His widow recently filed suit. The couple had been married for 44 years.
“The summoned VA Police Department police officers then stopped Jonathan Montano from leaving the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, by tackling him to the floor, slamming his head on the floor, and kneeing and stomping on his neck, and otherwise brutalizing and restraining him,” the lawsuit said.
TO READ MORE SEE PAGE 2:
If he was released they could have removed the needle in his arm. If he was leaving without being released by his doctor it should have been documented. You can’t hold a person against their will unless they’re on a psyche unit. If the patient gets an infection from leaving with needle in arm or just needle in arm, the nurse can be sued for negligence.
sad

I would think if he waited that long and wasn’t getting help he would have the right to leave,am sure civilian would have left way before,people get upset waiting for an hour.
