$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hat was supposed to be a honeymoon and week of vacation has turned into a nightmare for a couple who work at Erlanger Medical Center.
Eric Wright was arrested by a Chattanooga Police officer when he rushed his wife Aline to the emergency room at Erlanger with stroke symptoms.
The couple married this last Sunday and were taking their only vacation allowed for the year at Erlanger when Aline got very sick Wednesday night. Her face was drooping and her speech was slurred. Eric is a medic and served tours with the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan, while Aline is a registered nurse. Both knew they had to get to an emergency room fast.
...
"Before we reached the front doors of the emergency room, the sliding automatic doors, the policeman got between us and the door and started to say to my husband I am going to arrest you," Mrs. Wright said.
Mr. Wright said as he carried his wife around Officer Jim Daves his colleagues in the ER helped them to a room to begin immediate evaluation and treatment.
"The officer followed me into the emergency room and repeatedly entered the patient room to approach me and repeatedly interrupted the patient care," Wright said. "The other medical professionals had to push him aside and inform him it's not appropriate and he needed to wait outside."
What kind of person would interfere with an emergency rush to the hospital? I think you know.
