HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - When a patient aboard a city ambulance allegedly attacked two medics outside Queen's Medical Center a week and a half ago, one of them had to begin an anti-AIDS cocktail.
But the hospital refused to immediately draw blood from the suspect to see if he was infected with AIDS.
This is the second time in six months that city medics in the ambulance based at Queen's reported being attacked by a patient they were treating. Sources said both suspects were men who are mentally ill and/or drug users.
