<p>A patient at a <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/kentucky/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kentucky</a> hospital became so enraged at the discharge process taking too long that she allegedly choked a nurse.</p>
<p>Mykeisha Johnson, 35, was a patient on the third floor at the University of Louisville <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/hospital/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hospital</a> and was set to be discharged on Saturday when she was allegedly getting annoyed with how long the process was taking. When a nurse who happened to be making her rounds at the time walked past her room, Johnson pounced.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/how-does-that-happen-parents-say-newborn-nearly-bled-to-death-after-hospital-circumcision/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">More from Law&amp;Crime: ‘How does that happen’: Parents say newborn ‘nearly bled to death’ after hospital circumcision</a></strong></p>
<p>According to a police report obtained by local <a href="https://www.wdrb.com/news/crime-reports/judge-keeps-10k-cash-bond-for-woman-charged-with-assaulting-nurse-at-uofl-hospital/article_3518ef7d-4d6e-4c8a-b596-65f08c81cf8c.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox affiliate WDRB</a>, surveillance video showed Johnson choke the <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/nurse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nurse</a>, slam her to the floor and repeatedly punch her in the face. Staff eventually pulled Johnson off the nurse.</p>
<p>Johnson reportedly said the nurse had nothing to do with her prolonged wait, but she was “the first person available.” The nurse went to the emergency room with pain in her neck, back of her head, leg, abdomen and shoulder. Though she never lost consciousness during the attack, she said she was “in shock and didn’t remember everything,” the affidavit reportedly said.</p>
<p>The hospital released the following statement to local media outlets:</p>
<p>“UofL Health does not tolerate any violence or abuse against its staff, patients, or visitors. LMPD has made an arrest and is handling the investigation. Our employee was treated and released.”</p>
<aside class="o-callout__recirculate o-callout"/>
<p>Instead of waiting to be discharged from the hospital, Johnson now has to post bond to be released from jail. She’s facing charges of assaulting a health care provider, wanton endangerment and menacing, per court records. As of Tuesday afternoon, she remained in the Jefferson County Jail.</p>
<p>A judge added the wanton charge during a hearing on Monday, WDRB reported.</p>
