Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) was just trying to lend a hand.
Jackson was attending the White Deer Rodeo when a young girl had a medical emergency.
The former White House doctor tried to lend a hand.
He ended up getting put in cuffs for his efforts.
Lock Him Up
According to Jackson, a family member summoned him to help the 15-year-old girl.
She was having some type of medical episode and the family did not see any “uniformed EMS providers on the scene at the time.”
Jackson’s office stated, “While assessing the patient in a very loud and chaotic environment, confusion developed with law enforcement on the scene and Dr. Jackson was briefly detained and was actually prevented from further assisting the patient.”
The officers soon realized they had made a mistake and that Jackson was a medical professional.
His office continued, “He was immediately released as soon as law enforcement realized that he, as a medical professional, was tending to the young girl’s medical emergency.”
Linda Dianne Shouse explained what happened on her Facebook page.
She wrote, “I have never been more disappointed in our Rescue Team!!! I got called to render aide to my 15 year old cousin that was unresponsive at the White Deer Rodeo tonight!!
“She is not from here and was seen at the ER last night as she was told for dehydration and anemia!!
“I assessed her and she was NOT dehydrated! She was responsive to my voice but not aware of her surroundings. Respirations in the 40s.
“As I assessed her I noticed she looked as tho it was hypoglycemic episode.
“My cousin who is a BSN in a trauma hospital, myself and an ER DR [Rep. Jackson] were working on her.
“Had her responsive to her whereabouts! ER Dr agreed with me that she was seizing due to possible hypoglycemia. Sheriff’s department put a blood pressure monitor on her below her waist.
“I rose it to heart level and as she is awake and respirations are slowing down I placed a small piece of gum in a ball UNDER her tongue to give her some sugar. (Better than nothing).
“Deputys screamed at me and not listening to any thing US medical Professionals had to say, they punched me in my chest and forced me back with a palm to my face as well causing me to fall backwards!!
“ER Dr was thrown to the grown and ARRESTED!!! I am beside myself!! Prayers for Bailey!!!!!”
Not exactly a glowing review for the local first responders.
