BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KTLA) ? A nurse at a retirement facility refused to perform CPR on a woman who had collapsed and later died.
The nurse called 911 around 11:00 a.m. on February 27 from Glenwood Gardens when the 87-year-old woman stopped breathing.
The 911 dispatcher instructed the nurse to perform CPR, but she refused saying that it was against the retirement facility?s policy to perform?CPR.
The dispatcher asked the nurse to find someone else who would be willing, but no one came forward.
Paramedics arrived several minutes after the call and took the woman to a hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
The retirement facility released a statement extending its condolences to the family and said its ?practice is to immediately call emergency medical personnel for assistance and to wait with the individual needing attention until such personnel?arrives.?
