This Case Involved a Large-Chain Hospital in Los Angeles, CA.

Standwell was admitted to the ER for a UTI and muscle weakness. Due to severe understaffing and funding shortages, Standwell was left on a gurney in a hallway in the emergency department for over 36 hours, without being repositioned and turned, causing a severe Stage 4 bedsore on his sacrococcyx (tail bone) area. After months of substandard treatment and several surgical debridement procedures, Standwell passed away while still a patient in the hospital.
