Paris Hilton's Medical Condition Is Stable

In a statement at Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. headquarters, spokesperson Steve Whitmore announced that Paris Hilton's medical condition is stable and her condition will continue to be monitored.

Whitmore also made it clear that the decision to move Hilton from Twin Towers back to Lynwood around 10:55 PM last night was entirely up to the Sheriff. When TMZ asked if Nancy Grace or any other person in the media had anything to do with the Sheriff's decision, Whitmore said, "No, the Sheriff, after he gets consultation and receieves the best information available, makes the decision."

Whitmore also would not comment on how Hilton was transferred back to Lynwood Jail, and said that she would be staying there until June 25. Paris is being held in the medical clinic at Lynwood.

77. HOLLYWOOD TO THE BIG APPLE?

The new question now is; WHAT'S THE PLAN STAN? Is the plan now to say that Paris Hilton doesn't really have major Mental Health Issues, and will not require a long term Mental Health Care program? Is the plan still to have the party of parties for Paris Hilton in Vegas, were what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Were her mother can once more live out her live in the same body that a weaker individual one is dying?
Is the plan to ship Paris Hilton, the (GED) Educated, Panty Less, Crotch Shots Giving, Internet Porn Queen, Hilton Hotel Multi-Million Dollar Heiress, who has single handedly upset the two tier socially stacked legal system of Los Angles County and City, causing a political upheaval, to the Big Apple?
The Hilton Family is going to sent Paris into the loving embrace of Vassar Educated, Prada Wearing, What are you looking at, New York Society Page Reading, Old Money and New Mega Dollar Earning and Inherited, lawyer in a court of law and never defendants, part of the political system, Sister Hood?
The term 'SPECIAL TREATMENT" has an entirely different meaning on the East Coast than it does on the West Coast! On the West Coast were all for a little "SPECIAL TREATMENT", on the East Coast, that's sometime you want to avoid. And, the Sister Hood in New York will really give Paris Very Special Treatment.
Brother Barron Hilton got a New York City, Beat Down, and that's going to look like being welcomed with open loving brotherly open arms compared to the reception and treatment Paris Hilton will be walking into. Socially Paris Hilton would be safer walking naked during working girls business hours in Watts, East LA, or Hollywood Blvd. than in the Society of The Big Apple.

Very Respectfully,

78. Not to change the subject but the guy in the picture looks like he could be the son of the actor James Whitmore who was a very well regarded character actor in the 1950's and 60's.

79. A Latino woman dies while in custody after being arrested by the LA County Sheriffs Dept meanwhile Paris Hilton still recieving special treatment while in Jail!

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A woman who lay bleeding on the emergency room floor of a troubled inner-city hospital died after 911 dispatchers refused to contact paramedics or an ambulance to take her to another facility, newly released tapes of the emergency calls reveal.

Edith Isabel Rodriguez, 43, died of a perforated bowel on May 9 at Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital. Her death was ruled accidental by the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

Relatives said Rodriguez was bleeding from the mouth and writhing in pain for 45 minutes while she was at a hospital waiting area. Experts have said she could have survived had she been treated early enough.

County and state authorities are now investigating Rodriguez's death. Relatives reported she died as police were wheeling her out of the hospital after the officers they had asked to help Rodriguez arrested her instead on a parole violation. Sheriff's Department spokesman Duane Allen said Wednesday that the investigation is ongoing.

In the recordings of two 911 calls that day, first obtained by the Los Angeles Times under a California Public Records Act request, callers pleaded for help for Rodriguez but were referred to hospital staff instead.

"I'm in the emergency room. My wife is dying and the nurses don't want to help her out," Rodriguez's boyfriend, Jose Prado, is heard saying in Spanish through an interpreter on the tapes.

"What's wrong with her?" a female dispatcher asked.

"She's vomiting blood," Prado said.

"OK, and why aren't they helping her?" the dispatcher asked.

"They're watching her there and they're not doing anything. They're just watching her," Prado said.

The dispatcher told Prado to contact a doctor and then said paramedics wouldn't pick her up because she was already in a hospital. She later told him to contact county police officers at a security desk.

A second 911 call was placed eight minutes later by a bystander who requested that an ambulance be sent to take Rodriguez to another hospital for care.

"She's definitely sick and there's a guy that's ignoring her," the woman told a male dispatcher.

During the call, the dispatcher argued with the woman over whether there really was an emergency.

"I cannot do anything for you for the quality of the hospital. ... It is not an emergency. It is not an emergency ma'am," he said.

"You're not here to see how they're treating her," the woman replied.

The dispatcher refused to call paramedics and told the woman that she should contact hospital supervisors "and let them know" if she is unhappy.

"May God strike you too for acting the way you just acted," the woman said finally.

"No, negative ma'am, you're the one," he said.

The incident was the latest high-profile lapse at King-Harbor, formerly known as King/Drew. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is investigating claims of recent patient care breakdowns, including Rodriguez's case.

Federal inspectors last week said emergency room patients were in "immediate jeopardy" of harm or death, and King-Harbor was given 23 days to shape up or risk losing federal funding.

Dr. Bruce Chernof, director of the county Department of Health Services, which oversees the facility, has called Rodriguez's death "inexcusable" and said it was "important to understand that this was fundamentally a failure of caring." He has said conditions are improving, though.

A call Wednesday seeking comment about the 911 tapes from the department's communications office, which handles information about the hospital, was not immediately returned.

Dr. Roger Peeks, the chief medical officer at the hospital, was placed on "ordered absence" Monday, the Times reported. Health officials declined to elaborate, saying it was a personnel matter. Dr. Robert Splawn, chief medical officer for the health department, was named interim chief medical officer, the newspaper said.

I guess since her Grandfather could'nt afford to pay Sheriff Baca off she did not deserve necessary medical treatment prior to going to jail! If she were a white, rich, celebrity she would have recieve excellent medical care and lived instead of being dragged off to jail without being seen by a doctor!

80. Nancy Grace? What makes anybody think she had anything to do with the transfer? She's just a loudmouth, and most people can't stand her.

They should put Paris in a cell, not in another medical unit which is costing the taxpayers out the rear end. There was never anything wrong with her, except that she didn't want to be in jail. So what.
