The lead singer of the Four Tops said a Detroit-area hospital restrained him and ordered a psychological exam after refusing to believe that he was part of the Motown music group.
Alexander Morris, who is Black, filed a lawsuit Monday against Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital in Warren, alleging racial discrimination and other misconduct during an April 2023 visit for chest pain and breathing problems.
Hospital staff “wrongfully assumed he was mentally ill when he revealed his identity as a celebrity figure,” the lawsuit says.
Morris is not an original member, but he joined the group in 2019.
The lawsuit says a nurse finally believed Morris was in the Four Tops and the psychological exam was canceled.
The hospital offered a $25 gift card as an apology, but Morris refused to accept it, the lawsuit says.
Oh yep, you’re right about the dementia angle. And even if they were Four Tops fan… you just joined in 2019! Who’s gonna know??
Maybe the hospital could have had someone google his name first before they went all stupid on him.
That would be the logical thing to do, right? Right???
The object in everyone’s pocket that could tell them in seconds probably
Wait wait wait you want people to actually use the sum total of human knowledge they have in their pocket? What a nerd!
