ORLANDO, FL—In a major and positive turn of events, Ruby Cintron, the woman shot
in the eye by a stray bullet on New Year’s Eve, will meet with executives of
Orlando Regional Medical Center and host a news conference at Orlando Regional
Medical Center, tomorrow, Thursday, January 12, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. EST. Ruby
Cintron will be joined by leaders of the Consejo de Latinos Unidos, a national
non-profit organization that educates and assists uninsured Latinos and others.
MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA SHOULD MEET AT ORMC DISCHARGE ENTRANCE FOR ESCORT.
“We have met for several hours with top executives and medical staff of Orlando
Regional and are very pleased with their open dialogue and honesty,” said K.B.
Forbes, Executive Director of the Consejo. “Although there were some possible
errors or miscommunication at the time of Ms. Cintron’s discharge, we now
believe ORMC did the appropriate intervention on her eye and, unknown to us
beforehand, did a critical surgical procedure on New Year’s Day that may have
saved Ms. Cintron’s eye and vision. We also now believe that Ms. Cintron’s
discharge was not motivated by her lack of insurance.”
