Plenty of blame to go round

Won't help the dead woman though. It takes a lot of stupid policies and a lot of not caring for this sort of thing to happen. Here's the story...

Reading the comments there was illuminating as it pointed out something that in retrospect should have been obvious: Many women are primary care providers for both elderly and children, as such will often hold prescription drugs not their own.

I think your title is spot on.

Plenty of blame indeed, not least of which the "War on Drugs".

I've picked up medicine for my aunt and mother. Most recently when my mom was in rehab and she literally was unable to pick up her nose spray.

When I pick up medication they have me sign for it so I'm not sure how me HOLDING a drug would be illegal.

“She had a medical release from the hospital stating that she was fit for incarceration,”

translation: they didn't want to bother dealing with a person in this much pain so they pawned her off on the cops.

that hospital should be closed

Presumably under normal conditions they would simply have questioned her, maybe called the other person in question and left it at that... Possibly they thought she was going through withdrawal from a drug, but regardless the hospital had no business releasing her until they had found the cause of her symptoms.

Heads should most definitely roll over this.

Perhaps her insurance had lapsed and her credit was bad.
