An officer working an extra job at Erlanger Hospital, 975 E. 3rd St., was told by the hospital's security director that a doctor wanted to discuss a situation that had occurred the previous day. The doctor explained he had a patient in critical condition. The doctor spoke with the patient's mother about possibly taking him off life support as his situation was not improving. The mother became irate and began to blurt out gibberish and not make any sense. She threatened medical staff saying, “If they even think about taking him off life support, there would be hell to pay." After the mother made some concerning comments, the doctor expressed worry and requested to file a report in case anything happened. The officer suggested that if the mother continued to make similar comments, it may be necessary to inform the police.
