Like this one, though this one is more infuriating than anything.  A 65 year old man was experiencing diabetic shock on an Amtrak train in Arizona.  The crew decided that the guy was drunk and disorderly and threw the guy off the train in the middle of a fucking National Forest!  Now they can't find the guy.  Brilliant. 

Are the people working on these trains really not able to identify diabetic shock?  You would think that these crewmembers on the train would know what a diabetic shock is and looks like, or any other basic health emergency, even without training, this is pretty commonsense.  This is doubly true given how many people are diabetic. 

UPDATE:

The guy has been found.

He's in the hospital for dehydration.  He was found wandering near the tracks.
