Officer, I was thinking, I have a lot of kind of “generic” questions about life as a LAPD Officer, especially one working Central Division/Skid Row. And I’ll bet some of the other downtown readers have questions too- maybe I’ll need to do a little “moderating” but I think everyone could ask decent questions w/o [...]

After my last post about how I abruptly left the Good Samaritan Hospital, I wanted to convey to you how positive my experience actually was, and how I lost my fear of emergency rooms and hospitals due to the people that provided the immediate care to me at that facility.
