Pemberton:
|
The only thing that I can think of that‘s real important and!
|
|
|
don’t know...there’s really no measurable way to do this I
|
|
|
don’t think.., is other than,! want to emphasize again that
|
|
|
I.. .it’s my impression that Dr. Minkoff didn’t know what he
|
|
|
was getting into. He took the call,. .and I’ve seen other
|
|
|
doctors do this too.. .where.. where they got a friend or an
|
acquaintance or whatever.., somebody’s gonna bring somebody in and they’re gonna look at them as a favor. And I’ve seen him do that before too.. .you know. Somebody’s banged up a knee.., somebody’s got a cold.. .somebody’s got a kid with a fever.., or whatever. I don’t think he had a decent shot when this girl came in. I don’t think he had any idea how serious her condition was. I don’t know what the proximity of where the address where she was at before is to other facilities, but it would’ve made.., only made sense that she should’ve gone to the closest facility quickly.
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
What if I tell you that the proximity was about three minutes
|
away.
|
Pemberton:
|
Yeah, that’s.. ,that’s crazy.
|
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
Morton Plant Hospital... .three minutes.
|
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
Maybe less.
|
|
Pemberton:
|
That’s crazy. I honestly think if he had any idea that she
|
was in that serious a condition, that’s what he would’ve
said...you need to call 911.
|
Det. Carrasquillo:
|
Or take her to Morton Plant.
