Here are a few more details on the incident at Abington Hospital. It seems that this new intelligence is contrary to my earlier speculation that the emergency already existed at the time of the husband's initial demands. <<The hospital, citing patient and personnel confidentiality, has disclosed few details of the incident, but Clark revealed what the hospital told his group. According to Clark, the woman was brought to the hospital while in labor. Hospital officials described her husband as a "belligerent" man who demanded black employees not help his wife. Later, as the woman developed complications, the husband also asked black surgeons to stay away, Clark said, and a sign was eventually placed on the woman's door asking anyone of "color" to check with a nearby nurses' station before entering the room. NAACP leaders were notified of the incident Sept. 13 - the same week the incident occurred - and hospital Vice President Richard Montalbano attended the chapter's Sept. 15 meeting to discuss details surrounding the incident. But Clark said Montalbano was unable to answer some remaining questions, prompting another meeting with officials.>>
