Trans woman dies after doctors can't decide what ward to place her in

[Morphine Prince 109,647]

Alesha was admitted to the hospital after being shot by a criminal gang which, according to the group, extorts money from transgender people.

She was admitted with eight gunshot wounds, according to local media, but the tragedy only got worse after she was brought into the place where she should have found care.

According to posts, staff were too confused about which ward to admit her to, to tend to her wounds.

They wrote: “Hospotal [sic] staff in LRH ia extremly rude and impolite. Transgender are abused and made fun of.Operation theater staff is commenting on our dresses and looks.

“WTF is wrong with these people. A male operation theater staff asked me about my telephone number and wanted to know how much i charge for dancing party…….”

In critical condition, Alesha was asked by a doctor whether she had real breasts, for her phone number and how much she would charge for a dance, read the posts.

After being turned away from the women’s ward in the hospital, Alesha was placed in a room near the toilets in a men only ward. 

The medical director of the hospital allegedly intervened to move her to a more suitable facility, but the local trans group alleges that the delay in administering life-saving treatment led to her death earlier today.

It's a possibility, but given there were eight gunshot wounds I think the odds are a death would have occurred no matter what happened.

It shouldn't matter in these situations, put them in any ward, mens or womens. Just save their life

People can live from worse and have in the past...  What is definitive though is that any delay in administering aid is a negative, and thats what happened here and it was unnecessary.

I hope they get their asses slapped with a huge lawsuit!

Why the hell do they even have men's and women's wards in the first place? This is so heartbreaking
