LOS ANGELES — When Parham Saadat saw a bloodied man outside Encino Hospital Medical Center, his first thought was that the man was a patient seeking treatment.
But then he realized the man was wearing scrubs, and there was no one around him rendering aid. Saadat and his coworker, who were leaving work at a nearby dental office, ran across the street to help the nurse.
"He tells us, 'There's somebody inside, a patient who stabbed me,'" Saadat said. "'And he's stabbing other people inside.'"
