Lawsuit: Hospitals Refuse Woman In Labor

By Edward Bills

ADVERTISEMENTS

A lawsuit was filed last week by a Las Vegas woman against University Medical Center and Valley Hospital, claiming the hospitals refused to admit her for severe abdominal pains that turned out to be labor. According to the lawsuit, employees at both hospitals ignored Roshunda Abney, who did not know she was pregnant, for hours before she decided to leave without help.
