|
one at the foot, how were they stationed?
|
Ms. Brennan:
|
Well the way that particular area is set up, there is a like a shelf area
|
-
|
with drawers to the patient’s right hand side. I believe two of them were
|
|
standing leaning on that shelf towards the right hand side. I believe the
-
|
|
third person was towards her feet.
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
Okay, so there were two on one side, and one at her feet. What kind of
|
|
reaction did she have to these people being there?
|
Ms. Brennan:
-
|
Urn, I felt that the first person that came, she felt fairly comfortable. She
|
|
had stated to me that that was her friend.
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
Okay.
|
Ms. Brennan:
|
After the two other people had come by, I do not recall any chit chatter
|
|
from the bedside. It was quite silent. I did not hear her speak with them
|
|
herself. No, I did hear her speak with the first person. Um, when the
|
|
first woman came in. But when there were two other individuals at the
|
|
bedside, I did not hear her speak.
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
Okay, then you were around the bed enough to notice any
|
|
distinguishable difference between her talking to the first one, and then
|
|
not talking at all when the other two arrived.
- -
|
-
Ms. Brennan:
|
Yes. In that location where she
was at, there was another
bed close to
|
|
that, which is right across it. There’s no
-
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
Barrier
|
Ms. Brennan:
|
-
Barrier, thank you, other than uh, maybe just a drape that comes by so
|
|
you can hear chit chatter and I had gotten a new patient. I had
|
|
discharged one at the bed next to her, so I was in that area quite a bit.
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
What’s the distance between where she was laying and I’m assuming the
|
|
drape was pulled and closed? How far were you from her?
|
Ms. Brennan:
|
Probably um, less than 15 feet. Because the room is quite small and the
|
|
other bed that’s next to it is probably about 25 feet.
|
Det. Carrasquilo:
|
But when they spoke you could hear them. Did you hear them clearly?
|
Ms. Brennan:
|
No, I could not.
|
-
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
But you could hear the noise.
|
Ms. Brennan:
|
Yes I could.
