I was brought there by a group of criminal ruffians, who had just violently assaulted me. I had been in my own car, pulling into a parking space in a private hotel lot, when several unknown cars sped towards my automobile. Their speed & direction frightened me. I drove my car forward to escape their pursuit, but I was unable to get away. After over 1/2 hour of being trapped in my car while they hit it with their vehicles and caused it to be totaled, I lost the battle to escape being carjacked.
One of the men took a glass cutting tool and use it to cut & crack the driver side window. Then he reached in and unlocked the car and they dragged me out of the car. I thought I was going to die.
They loaded me onto a stretcher, cranked me up a ramp into the back of the antiquated ambulance. The gurney was not affixed to the sides of the ambulance and there was no one in the back with me. So I was shifting and bumping around in the rear of the vehicle.
I was driven to Parkview Care.
I was in total shock. I found myself @ an unfamiliar place. I have no recollection of having my cell phone, my purse or anyone explaining to me what was happening.
The gang passed me off to a pleasant young woman, who brought me inside. I was in shock and covered with glass. I can't remember if she was an RN, or a nurses' aide.
I know no one undressed me or put me in a gown, but I was covered in shards of glass from the shattered window. There were sharp little pieces of glass sticking into my face, in my hair, in my clothing, in my underwear, in my shoes, pricking me everywhere. I was very cold, battered and bruised.
The personnel were quiet, detached & uninformative.
I have a vague recollection of being attached to the standard temperature and blood pressure devices which read out on the monitor.
Hours passed, at some point a Physician Assistant came in and we spoke. I know I was cold, tired and very afraid. I prayed.
I seemed to have no authority. No one asked me to sign any consent forms. Various random medical diagnostic test were ordered.
No medical treatment was provided. After midnight my husband was contacted and he came and picked me up and took me to a local hotel.
We eventually received an exorbitant ambulance, and hospital bill. read more
