Why would anyone terrorize a hospital? So much for "we're all in this together."

| 5. Heard from hospitals on NPR ... |
|
this afternoon ... they were terrified of people trying to break in.
People in the streets are desperate, trying to survive ...

| 6. Do you have a link for that info? |
|
I assume that the anchors would have known that. Or at least a producer would have corrected them about that by now.

Technically, its called Memorial Hospital now. It was Baptist back when I was stuck there in the 70s for a week after an accident.

| 11. OK, I found a link saying that the hospital had been closed, |
|
but didn't say anything about evacuation. Hard to know what's true between reporters reporting innuendo and anonymous posters on Internet forums. Not to doubt you or your info specifically, but you know what I mean... it's a crazy situation all around. http://www.latimes.com/features/health/medicine/la-sci-health31aug31,1,2337725.story?coll=la-health-medicine |
