In Bakersfield, California at Glenwood Gardens nursing home a woman collapsed and was having problems breathing. The 87-year old woman, Lorraine Bayless, went down in the dining room and a nurse called 911. The dispatcher told the nurse that she had to give Bayless CPR but the nurse refused to do it because it was against their policy. The dispatcher was telling the nurse that the woman would die if she did not give her CPR and the nurse still would not do it. The nurse would not even let someone else at the nursing home give Bayless CPR. Who cares about a stupid policy at that point, how could you let that poor old woman die right in front of you, especially if you could have stopped it.
