Lsu Health Sciences Center - Shreveport: "Patient torture by university police is allowed. Doctors threaten you with more time for telling them. Patient advocate by phone won't allow grievances to be reported. Ochsners site complaint portal denied citizens electronic receipt of complaint. Blocking is done to all complaints made on social media. All employees & departments never respond to public outcry on social media. University police captain is on record acknowledging patient torture. Recently a missing woman's dead body was found at LSU hospital and a woman was captured after escaping in an emergency vehicle. Law enforcement, mayor, hospital, & media all know while suppressing outcry." - Jack
