As a result of Beatriz Quijano's negligence and perhaps racism, my mother-in-law, Frances Green, ended up as an inpatient for what should have been a routine, hour-long gallbladder removal.

Day after day went by, and the personnel at the Antelope Valley Hospital kept Frances hospitalized, because she couldn't or wouldn't eat.  She had lost about twenty pounds in about two weeks, when Beatriz Quijano neglected to schedule a surgery appointment for her, as per Surgeon Doctor Yih-Dar Nien's orders.

On the morning of Tuesday, August 4th, however, as Frances was walking the hallways of the second floor for exercise and diversion, someone threw a snake, which landed inches in front of her feet.  She screamed and yelled at the ladies who had laughed, and one of whom had apparently tossed the snake at her feet.  Although the snake was a rubber toy, in the moment it landed at her feet, she believed it was a real snake, and nearly had a coniption.

After reprimanding the medical personnel who had apparently thought this prank was funny, she called my wife, Libertad Green, so we could go remove her from the Antelope Valley Hospital.

When we arrived around noon, a petite, dark-haired lady introduced herself to me, my wife, and my wife's parents as the Manager of the Nurses on the second floor where Frances was hospitalized.  She tried to persuade Frances to stay, and told us that she knew who had thrown the snake at her feet, and that it wasn't a nurse, but a "Case Manager."

When I initially heard my wife mention that someone had thrown a rubber snake at Frances' feet, I thought it must have been one of the numerous Spanish-speaking children visiting Frances' room-mate, in blatant disregard for the three-visitors-at-a-time rule.  I was shocked to hear someone identifying themself as a manager of nurses admit that it was another person with the word "Manager" in their job title who had done this.

I created another scene and left.  Unfortunately, the Chief of Security, Timothy Lidberg, decided to try to pass a sermon to my wife and her parents after I had long since created a scene and departed.  As a result, my wife and her parents are more upset with him than whoever it was who threw that snake at Frances' feet.  They became so upset  that they didn't even wait for me to pick them up in a car, but started walking a half block in the High Desert sun and heat, after Frances had just had a medical apparatus removed from her liver to accommodate her release.  They didn't even wait for the discharge papers because Timothy Lidberg upset them so much.  Another manager, a large female, actually put her hands on my wife to physically restrain her from escorting her mother out of the hospital.

Medical professionals indeed!
