Hospital Takes Legal Action Following Threats

Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City is taking legal action after the safety of its staff was allegedly threatened. KOCO reports that the hospital decided to take legal action following a protest and social media posts that criticized the care provided to a COVID-19 patient. Attorneys for the hospital say that the situation began last week when a now-deceased COVID-19 patient's wife started researching treatments. Doctors refused to provide certain treatments requested by the patient's wife, and the couple's pastor took to social media and hosted a protest outside the hospital.
