Five days have gone by and now they are announcing this?
Where is the camera footage? Isn’t there cameras outside ?
Yea there are camera’s outside now that they seen him leave the hospital grounds, now what is that info going to do to determined on where he is.
5 days, cameras, security guard….must be embarrassing losing a patient right under their noses.
It’s not a jail. It’s a hospital. If someone wants to walk they can walk.
It was his decision to leave the hospital. Yea it’s not a jail. Security cameras are usually not checked up frequently everywhere unless there is retired elderly have been hired to watch over the security cameras.
