Where exactly is the shoddy journalism, pray tell? It seems to be that the
actual thing that never happened is the OP (and many others that have replied here) even bothering to READ the article. Allow me to help with a couple of quotes:
"Due to COVID 19, CRMC emergency staff contacted 43 hospitals in 3 states in search of a Cardiac ICU bed and finally located one in Meridian, MS.,". And then this:
"DeMonia's daughter, Raven DeMonia, told The Washington Post that it was "shocking" when the hospital told the family there were no ICU beds anywhere near Cullman, a town of about 16,000 some 50 miles north of Birmingham."
The entire article, updated 9/14/21, is here:
