A Los Angeles hospital will pay $450,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging that it “dumped” a mentally ill homeless lady in the street, wearing only simple paper pajamas. The city sued the Gardens Regional Hospital and Medical Center in April 2015, stating that its employees had driven the 38-year-old woman suffering from schizophrenia and other mental disorders to a welcome center for the homeless in the city's Skid Row district, then left her there in her paper hospital pajamas. Feuer announced Monday that the city and hospital had settled the suit, which alleged that the same woman had been abandoned in the same way at least five times before.
