And by that point, Shankwella was on a couch in the living room.

The doctor could immediately tell that she was in really bad shape.

And the doctor told investigators that Shankwella was disheveled.

She had a knot on the right side of her forehead, broken blood vessels in her right eye, and she could not get out any words.

Like she is only managing to make sounds.

And the doctor told everyone there that Shanquilla needed to get to a hospital, but they all refused.

But remember, she can't speak, so she can't advocate for herself.

The only connection to her family is through her friends.

And the doctor said that they all seemed reluctant to even call her family and let them know what was going on.

And the doctor also said that her boss, the doctor's boss, told her that she had to get permission from the friends to take Shankwella to the hospital, like she wasn't allowed to make that call herself.

And according to the doctor, they keep saying that Shankwella was just dehydrated.

She needed an IV.

So according to the records, the doctor told police she tried to get them to call for help for at least an hour.

She even told them that there are hospitals that will take Shanquilla, help Shanquilla for free if money is the issue.

Which is what they said to her mom, that the funding was the issue.

Right.

It was only once Shanquilla had a seizure that someone finally called 911.

Then Shanquilla went into cardiopulmonary arrest and emergency medics arrived about five minutes later.

The doctor, the emergency medics, they worked for an hour to stabilize her.

They gave her 14 rounds of CPR, five doses of adrenaline, and they used a defibrillator on her six times.
