Pregnant Woman Duped By Bogus Valet

Never thought this would be the scene of Grand Theft Auto. (HT Blog.camera.org)



This one falls under the public service file. From the Boston Herald:

"A pregnant woman rushing into Lowell General Hospital’s emergency room handed her keys to a seemingly helpful man who said he was the valet and offered to park her car.

Only one problem, cops said. Lowell General doesn’t have valet service.

Lowell police Capt. Kelly Richardson said the woman was suffering from labor pains when she drove herself to the hospital at 3 a.m. Friday morning and parked outside the emergency room doors.

A man clad in what appeared to be a uniform shirt walked out of the ER as the woman arrived, claiming to be the hospital’s valet. He told her she could not park in that spot, but that he would gladly take her keys and move the car for her."

This guy is pure swamp scum!! Taking advantage of a woman in labor. I hope the cops find this guy and put him under the jail.

The Moral ot this story: Hospitals do NOT have valet service. Some folks are really out to con you during these tough economic times. Stay aware.

Small, but deadly in great numbers. (HT U of Minnesota)



A 76 year old man was bitten hundreds of times by ants when he was in the ICU. So much for hospitals being places of cleanliness. Yet another reason to stay healthy and stay out of hospitals.

What Some Businesses Do For Revenue

The Hospital. (HT Camera.org):



A hospital in the UK rented out one of its wards to a filming company. The production "generated substantial income for the hospital". I think they should do a better job of vetting who they do business with.
