The Spotlight, a Pamplin Media-Owned newspaper, states on 12/4 that Emanuel followed incorrect restraint and resuscitation procedures in the death of Glenn Shipman. What the story fails to mention is that textbook procedures may have been difficult with this patient since he was 450 lbs., psychotic and had been tasered by police prior to hospitalization. None of that justifies negligent care of course, but it does underscore the difficulty of caring for such a patient.
The article also mentioned that Emanuel was losing its JCAHO certification. According to an indirect source (the spouse of an Emanuel employee), Legacy sent an email to its employees stating that Emanuel has passed JCAHO certification.
