An Orlando woman plans to sue Florida Hospital, saying the facility did nothing to help her after she claimed another patient molested her while she slept in her hospital bed.
WFTV's Angela Jacobs spoke with the woman and her hospital roommate, who both described the incident, which they said happened in October 2013 in the room they shared.
“When I close my eyes, I see him,” Deianeira Brown told Jacobs. “I see what he did. I don't sleep at night hardly no more.”
It’s the image Brown has seen in her mind -- that of the man she said crawled into her Florida Hospital bed just hours before her gallbladder surgery.
“I don't know what he done to me,” Brown said. “I know he had my gown all the way up. He was on top of me.”
Brown said she tried to push the man, who she said was naked from the waist down, out of the bed and started yelling for her roommate.
“It was scary,” said Brown’s roommate, Susan Knox. “It was confusion.”
Knox told Jacobs how the commotion startled her awake, and how, panicked, she ran for help.
“I started screaming for someone to come in, because he wasn't supposed to be in our room,” Knox told WFTV.
Hospital staff managed to get the man -- she believes was a patient -- out of their room, but Brown said her nightmare was far from over.
“I asked them to write it up. They never did it,” Brown said. “Everything I asked them to do, they never did nothing. They treated me like I done something wrong.”
While still recuperating, Brown filed a complaint with hospital security.
She also went to Orlando police and reported the incident herself.
In letters obtained by WFTV, attorneys for Florida Hospital acknowledged an incident occurred.
So when Jacobs asked the hospital to explain how the incident was handled, a representative said privacy laws prevent comment on any patient's specific case, but also sent the following statement:
“Florida Hospital fully cooperated with the law enforcement investigation and have been advised by them that the matter is being closed with no charges being filed against anyone.”
The hospital also referred media to the Orlando Police Department’s investigation.
While OPD did confirm the case was closed, it couldn't yet confirm details of the investigation because an OPD spokeswoman said the lead detective working this case is on vacation.
Brown claims that police told her the man who wandered into her room that night on the second floor of the hospital won't face charges because he was mentally impaired.
But the fact any man was able to crawl into her bed is why Brown and her attorney won't let Florida Hospital off the hook.
“I can file suit to find out what happened. And I'm probably going to do that in this case if they don't come forward,” said Brown’s attorney, David Best. “The facts speak for themselves. If that happened, they were negligent.”
Meanwhile, Brown wants to make sure what she said happened to her does not happen again.
“I don't want nobody else to go through what I've been through,” Brown told Jacobs. “I have to live with that for the rest of my life.”
Florida Hospital sent WFTV the following statement:
"The Orlando Police Department and Florida Hospital thoroughly investigated this allegation and determined that no crime was committed. The version of events reported to the police and to Florida Hospital a year ago is dramatically different than what is now being claimed."
