A large Catholic hospital was in the news for ‘dumping’ indigent patients upon discharge by wheeling them in a wheelchair to a nearby city bus stop, transferring them to the bus stop bench, and walking away leaving them to their fate.

This was around 1998. I don’t recall the outcome, and I moved away shortly after that.
