Stroke Victim Deported While Unconscious After Hospital Discovers He's Undocumented

Wladyslaw Haniszewski was at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey when he suffered a stroke that left him comatose. However, when hospital staff learned he was an undocumented immigrant from Poland, the stroke victim was deported to his native country -- while unconscious.

According to The New York Daily News, Polish officials were furious when they received the 69-year-old Polish immigrant under the circumstances.

"Imagine being carted around like a sack of potatoes," Ewa Junczyk-Ziomecka, Poland's consul general in New York, told the outlet.

Haniszewski, though undocumented and uninsured, had resided in the New Jersey town of Perth Amboy for the better part of 30 years. He was previously admitted to the New Brunswick hospital by a friend for symptoms relating to his blood disease before he suffered a stroke this month.

When Haniszewski finally awoke, he found himself at a hospital in Boleslawiec. Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital had deported the stroke victim to Poland without first obtaining his consent, Polish newspaper Nowy Dziennik reports.

This is wrong in so many ways I don't even know where to start.
I guess 'First Do No Harm' has been stricken.
