Sicko revisited - This time it's real



I remember this well from last year.This is really a tragedy and a scandle.How is it that the US spends double what other countries do on health care and this kind of thing goes on? Insurance companies ,HMOs' suck up to much of the money for profits is the answer.Universal not for profit health care system is the needed reform.We will get it,it's inevitable but till then some will suffer as this story shows.
 
They said that the director of security, a couple security guards, and some nurses were fired. What's that gonna do? Their replacements are still not gonna give a rat's ass, not to mention the other current staff members who couldn't care less. They're also gonna have to check the waiting room every half hour. The one security guard in the video checked in a few times, didn't he?

he checked to see if she was dead yet so he could clean up the mess. This just reeks of lawsuit!

What does the Bush administration have anything to do with this? It's something that's clearly a matter of the hospital's internal ineptitude. Blaming Bush for what happened on the video is the same thing as me blaming Dave Thomas because a cashier at the local Wendy's was an asshole to me.
 
"I think it reflects deficiencies in the human character," he said, pointing to historical examples in which bystanders stood by as tragedies unfolded.

Oh bullshit. The reason why bystanders dont do anything in America is because the completely fucked legal system.. and especially when pertaining to medical treatment..would sue the complete-utter-**** out of anyone if they could. They want to wag fingers and assign blame... well fuck that!

Being in the medical field was a complete waste of my life some years ago. So much red tape, so many things you werent allowed to do, such a fear of a lawsuit or losing your credentials in civilian life..

Honestly, America brought this upon itself. It's perfectly legit to point fingers at the administration for ignoring the obvious issues our medical system has. Outrageous costs, ludicrous requirements and contradiction everywhere you turn.

I had a teacher in high school whose *******-in-law was sued because he saw a man get hit by a car, and he went over to help the man. As a result of the accident, the man's leg was amputated. He promptly sued everyone involved in the accident, including my teacher's *******-in-law because he was, technically, a "first responder" to the accident. What the fuck? You try to help somebody who just got hit by a car, and he ends up suing you for it? That's a load of bullshit, but it's the reason why people don't just help others anymore.
 
This kind of incident isn't what really matters when evaluating the American health care system. And after all, the LATimes article only mentions two such incidents, so that's not bad, PLUS the LA incident involved (apparently) Spanish-speakers, so if you can't explain to the 911 operator why your girlfriend is being ignored at the hospital while she's laying on the ER waiting room floor, ******** *****, then you can't really expect to have your needs met, can you???

No, what really matters is that REAL Americans never have to wait even 10 minutes for any kind of procedure or operation. We can't have waiting lists!!! We don't want to end up like THE CANADIANS!!

Anyway...this story is insane. Did I get that right, that the Rodriguez woman was actually taken from the hosp. in a cop car, and then died afterward?? What the hell !!??

When I responded before I had goggled the words "Martin Luther *******" 1st as I do remember that is what this hospital has been called by the locals in LA.I didn't find that on goggle but I did find an original story on this case that cited numerous deaths similar to this at this hospital.
And to people who say you can't blame Bush or other politicians for the health care system we have I would ask why not? If they are the ones supporting the current system blocking universal health care then blaming them seems fair to me.While bad things may happen even under universal care the evidence is clear from the other countries who have it which one results in better care for the majority overall.
 
You expect me to believe that an 911 operator in LA can't speak Spanish?

while you apparently seem OK to let non-English speaks die without police and emergency response, I have a feeling that LA county services are a little bit more realistic about their demographics.

the real problem is that people can't afford to pay their high medical bills, and so hospitals can't afford to pay their staff, if they can even afford to keep the hospital open at all. Most cities have just one ER with a couple doctors, so take a number and hope that you don't get yourself in a life-threatening situation on the other side of town.

Anybody working in a hospital doesn't need to speak to a patient to know that lying on the floor ******** ***** is not a good sign. The minute she fell from her chair she should have been attended to, if only to get her off the floor.

As for the whole "REAL Americans" comment, I'm pretty sure that one's coming back to bite you in the ass, unless you were being sarcastic (it only just occurred to me that you might have been).

As for the US health system, people back home ask me about it all the time, and I just tell them, here in this great country, people die because they can't afford a doctor. It's sad.

I for one don't care if he was sarcastic or not. Its true either way.
 
It was this week even on tv over here. I actually thought that that could never happen, but it seems again that mankind never stops to amaze itself.

because its bushs fault our health care system sucks ass; he said he was gonna make THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM SO IT WOULD COVER everybody who needed medical attention would be taken care of regardless if they were rich or poor.. and that video is a prime example of

A) people don't get help when they are pratically dying!!!
B) not only did the lady die... nobody in the hospital did anything to help the lady just to exagerate the point that nobody gave a fuck!!

lets see whats wrong with that?? a hospital in the USA lets somebody die in their emergency waiting room and nobody flinchs to help her??

that sound like something that would happen in a third world country.. where death is welcomed just to stop the pain and misery..

I think that has allot to do with bush and his inept administration.. health care reform.. :bs:

all the rich republican types always say its the left wing demorcrats always complaining about bush and his administration!! well thats because demorcrats are the closest thing resembling a government body that even gives a fuck about POOR CIVILIANS WHO NEVER GET ANY HELP FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION?? all the rich REPUBLICAN FUCKERS with silver spoons in their mouths always stick up for bush because nothing he does affects them.. what the fuck do they have to worry about?? NOTHING!! MOSTLY POOR PEOPLE ARE THE VICTIMS.. WHO GIVES A FUCK?? HUH?? :dunno: thats why its bushs fault!! but bush has fucked up everything else so why not give him more credit for a great fuckin up job he's done!! :rolleyes: sorry for rambling but bush has fucked poor people for 7 and half years.. and its very aggravating that people actually support that retarded peckerwood.. cuz it doesn't affect them cuz their rich or well off anyway!!! sorry if you don't see the bush connection or believe their is one...
