The incident involves two workers with Mid-Atlantic Regional Ambulance, a Virginia Beach company.

Just after 9 a.m. Aug. 9, two Mid-Atlantic workers brought a visually impaired man into the lobby of Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, left a note with the receptionist and left, according to a hospital spokesperson who pulled the information from an incident report filed by the patient care supervisor.
