He'd better just make sure he actually gets IN the hospital.  There was a
big scandal in Chicago this year.  Victim of gang violence was either
dumped right outside the hospital, or maybe the injuring incident took
place right there -- and no one from the hospital would go out and get him.
 Apparently it was against their policy to treat people who weren't brought
RIGHT INTO the hospital.
