| Description | A senior student at Delton High School near Orlando, Florida nearly died last week after a school nurse refused to give him a doctor-prescribed asthma inhaler, even after he passed out from lack of oxygen.
17-year-old Michael Rudi told Orlando news station Local 6 on Monday that as he lost consciousness in the nurse’s office, she closed the door on him, leaving Rudi wondering if he would even wake up.
The nurse, who was not named, was apparently following school policy, even despite Rudi’s name appearing on a prescription for the inhaler.
Students are not allowed to possess prescription drugs at Delton High School, so a release form signed by parents is required by school officials before medicine can be dispensed — something Rudi’s folks had not done. |
