Not a Horror Movie: A Woman Was Forgotten at a Doctor's Office . . . and Got Trapped Inside for the Night
This almost sounds like a horror movie: A woman in New Hampshire went to urgent care recently, after suffering an asthma attack. She had been exposed to a cat, and is allergic to them.
Everything was fine at first. They gave her a shot, and said to hang tight, and they’d be back in a bit. But no one ever returned to the exam room.
About a half hour later, she started getting restless, especially since it seemed quiet outside the room. She popped her head out of the door, and realized that they’d FORGOTTEN ABOUT HER. Yeah, they locked up, and LEFT.
As soon as she stepped outside the room, the alarm went off. She called 911 . . . the police responded . . . and rescued her. Thankfully, she’s fine, and did not suffer another attack when no one was there.
Naturally, she says she “probably won’t” be going back to that office. The company has apologized, saying that the rooms are supposed to be cleared and checked before closing. Clearly, the employees dropped the ball.
(WMUR.com has an interview with the woman.)
