THE SAME EMERGENCY - VASTLY DIFFERENT RESPONSES
San Antonio documented my forced medication reaction. Canyon Ridge ignored seizures for profit.
Loma Linda rushed me to Emergency and saved my life. The difference? Ethics vs. greed.

Canyon Ridge's Criminal Negligence
- FAILED to transfer dying patient to Emergency Department despite no ED on site
- Ignored documented Haldol allergy and forced injection anyway
- Witnessed seizures and respiratory distress - provided NO oxygen (Loma Linda gave 6L)
- Restrained patient during life-threatening medical emergency
- Allowed patient to black out without intervention
- Prioritized $1,800/day billing over emergency medical care
- Two doctors present provided NO emergency treatment
- Attempted to get signatures while patient was seizing
PATTERN OF SEVERE HALDOL REACTIONS
San Antonio (no knowledge of allergy): Pulse dropped 34 points (104→70), BP crashed (141/89→108/65)
Canyon Ridge (I disclosed suspected allergy): Seizures, blackout, no oxygen given
Loma Linda (accidental exposure): Laryngospasm, required 6L oxygen and ED transfer
San Antonio proved the allergy was real. Canyon Ridge ignored my warning with deadly results.

This Wasn't Malpractice - It Was Attempted Murder
San Antonio respected my allergy. Loma Linda saved my life with proper emergency response. Canyon Ridge watched me die for $1,800 per day.
When a hospital without an Emergency Department refuses to transfer a dying patient, that's not medical care - that's criminal.
