    When people like [NAME REMOVED] have had a stroke and has been in the hospital before with surgeries and has pain in his back and his back legs give out on him and then he has a stroke, just because the person wants to go, doesn¿t mean that that person should be released. I¿m in North Carolina and I can¿t just get there really quick. But I believe that he should¿ve stayed in the hospital for at least a couple days.
