Yet no hospital had reported these vacancies to the EOC.
Meanwhile, the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office yesterday said that it had begun an investigation to see whether charges should be laid over the matter.
"The way [the medical personnel at Jenai Hospital] handled the case was strange indeed," spokesman Lin Bang-liang (林邦樑) said. "We are trying to work out what took place and what went wrong."
Lin said that if prosecutors discovered sufficient evidence of medical personnel mistreating the patient during her transfer, resulting in permanent mental or physical damage, they would be charged with negligence and face a jail term.
