Newspaper Posts Video of Controversial Patient Death
This week, the Los Angeles Times posted online a security camera video sent anonymously to the newspaper of a May 2007 incident in which a dying patient was ignored at Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital's emergency department. Los Angeles County has maintained that the tape is "confidential, official information" and refused to release the video.
