Documents Reveal Fatal Pattern Of Patient Dumping At Los Angeles General Hospital
Internal records and witness accounts reveal fatal patient dumping at L.A. General, where a conserved, fragile woman was discharged to the streets.
On a chilly December afternoon in 2024, staff at a small Skid Row harm-reduction center watched in disbelief as one of their longtime participants, a probate-conserved woman named Jamie Louise Kreitzburg, was released from Los Angeles General Medical Center.
“She has nowhere to go, and you’re discharging her to a tent,”
Jenn Elizabeth, Jamie’s biggest advocate, who co-founded The Sidewalk Project where she serves as Director of Trauma-Informed Services & Engagement, told the hospital. Her conservator had begged doctors not to discharge her, warning she was too impaired to survive on her own.
Advocates stood by the phone, calling frantically to stop it. But by the time they reached the charge nurse, Jamie was gone. The nurse manager didn’t argue, admitting it needed to be reported.
