Hillsborough County Administrator Mike Merrill acknowledged in a press conference on Monday that "we did in fact fail to provide good care to this woman".

"My guys did a lot of things wrong here and we take responsibility," he said, acknowledging that the medics had failed to even check the woman's vital signs.

He added that medics also falsified a report to claim they were unable to locate the patient.

"If it's a culture of racism," he added, "that's something that needs to be fixed or for the sake of good care for our community."
