California woman dies after nurse refuses to perform CPR
"A California retirement home is backing one of its nurses after she refused desperate pleas from a 911 operator to perform CPR on an elderly woman who later died, saying the nurse was following the facility's policy."
"Is there anybody that's willing to help this lady and not let her die," dispatcher Tracey Halvorson says on a 911 tape released by the Bakersfield Fire Department aired by several media outlets on Sunday."
"Not at this time," said the nurse, who didn't give her full name and said facility policy prevented her from giving the woman medical help."
