He said the man appeared to be in a lot of pain and discomfort as he waited for hours in a wheelchair but eventually appeared to fall asleep.
“The ER attendant came out to check on people and checked on him,” Staples said in an interview Wednesday. “She scurried back to the ER very professionally, not to raise any alarms and came back with a few other people. They wheeled him to the back and as they did, they called a Code Blue,” he said, referring to the hospital code for a cardiac or respiratory arrest.
