A disabled woman who refused to leave hospital grounds after being discharged, telling Knoxville police she was having a stroke and dying as they tried to take her into custody, was “treated like trash” before she ultimately died on 6 February, her family claims.
Lisa Edwards, 60 – who used a wheelchair and had previously suffered a stroke – had been discharged from Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center on 5 February but refused to leave, prompting security to call the Knoxville Police Department.
