Woman dies in hopital waiting room

Is is true. These people sneek across the boarder, take our benefits, jobs, want to vote and get free medical and social sercurity. I have no pity for them at all. Yes the hospital was wrong, very very wrong. But so is sneeking across the boarder.
Hospitals lose tons of money on these people The Drs and nurses are fed up with them and some don't care about them either. The ER is overrun and understaffed.

That also happened to one of our employees here. He was having a heart attack and had been in the ER 30 minutes and no one had seen to him. The wife had to get help and by then it was too late. Very sad state of affairs. And this is a totally different subject but a lot of the ER overcrowding is from the immigrants. This told to me by an ER employee. They don't have to pay for anything. We foot the bill

The woman who died was NOT an illegal immigrant.

Last summer I went to the hospital with the same problems she had. I am a blue-eyed blonde with good medical insurance. I was seen immediately. Admitted to the hospital for less than two days my bill -- just for the hospital -- was over $13,000.

I truely shudder...knowing what pain I was in...to think of this woman lying on the floor of the emergency room with a perforated bowel. What a horrible, horrible, painful, undignified death.

And the discussion turns to "these people"......

May you never find yourself one of "these people" who do not have medical insurance. May no one ever speak of you with the heartlessness and callousness with which you speak of others.

My grandfather was a poor immigrant. He died in hospital. He bled to death internally due to a botched surgery.

So I guess to some people he was one of these people...who don't deserve decent medical care....

Yes Sara, the woman was not an illegal immigrant. It shouldn't really
matter one way or another, she was in horrible pain & died
on the floor in a HOSPITAL & nobody lifted a finger to help her.

I found this article in which her family spoke out about this woman's
life & what she meant to her family & those who knew her.

Having a 'little' experience in what goes on in a hospital.....

I have seen people act like total AHs in an ER.

This woman should have been seen IMMEDIATELY, that said-

I have sat in an ER waiting room to be seen myself. It did not bother me to sit for a few hours because my cold, headache or ???? was not life threatening.

I have seen parents SCREAM at nurses or sit in the waiting room pi$$ing and moaning about, "That person went before us and WE HAVE been waiting here for one hour!"

YOU STUPID COW, THe person who went before you almost cut his hand off with a power saw, your kid has an earache. That is why it's called an emergency room - emergencies go first.

As far as insurance goes-

That is the reason, along with lawyers, that the healthcare industry is out of control.

To research and develop, market, test and finally introduce any medical device or medication cost more because of insurance.

I can turn on the TV set at any hour and see a commercial about "If you know someone who has fat ankles becuase they had to stand in line at the supermarket, call the law offices of Dewey, Cheatem and How!"

Last year there was a pacemaker recall-you should have seen the scramble and the lies told.

There was a little blurb in the news. Then the reps from the company were in the operating rooms to help change all the pacemakers they could, in the fastest time possible.

Why? just in case of a lawsuit.

--------------------------------

Back to the ER...

There are many people who come into an ER that do not speak english! There in lies one problem, Another is the universal RED CROSS. In many countries that signifies medical care......It's not like the Good Old U.S., where go see the specialist, often in another building, to get help.


The health care system is in shambles - this woman was not let down by the system, she was in an area where her life could have been saved. It's the people in that area, at that time who are to blame.

But overall the change has to come at the top-that means we have to kick the emm effing lobbyists who are in bed with the politicos in Washington.

They spread the money and the law makers introduce stupid laws that help the big med companies make more money.

ALSO BEWARE THE FAT SCUMMY MAN THAT MAKES MOVIES ABOUT THE HCS.
