BALTIMORE, Maryland -- A viral video has caused outrage after a patient, wearing only a thin gown, was left in the cold at a bus stop by security guards outside a hospital, reports say.

Now University of Maryland Medical Center is being accused of "patient dumping," CBS News reports, which is often involves homeless patients or other people who are uninsured or have financial issues.

CBS reports it's unclear if those were factors in with this patient's case.

Imamu Baraka captured the incident in Baltimore on video Tuesday night, Fox 5 News reports. He saw the hospital's security guards wheel the woman to the bus stop and leave her there along with bags of belongings, reports say.

She was wearing a hospital gown and socks, with temperatures in the low 30s.

1. There is something terribly wrong with our culture.

3. The wrong people

are being put in charge. Look at the president and his cabinet!! As long as they will never be in this woman's position, they could care less. Not only that, they do not understand what it is like to be in need. Only rich people are important to the gop. Until money is taken out of politics (I men the millions of $$$ that are donated) we will not see any improvements. The gop, especially Ryan, are working right now to destroy Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Food Stamps. Who needs them? Certainly nobody in their families.

Remember what Jesus said "Fuck the poor". Or something like that.
