This is healthcare?
Can you even imagine going to a hospital for treatment and having doctors and nurses just walk around you. That the only person that came near you was the janitor to clean up the blood you were throwing up onto the floor? I think what is bothering me the most about this situation is the lack of compassion that I keep hearing in words and seeing in actions. Were the 911 operators really so uncompassionate or could they just not comprehend that someone in a hospital would need an ambulance because they are being ignored? The police that came and loaded her into a wheelchair to arrest her on a parole violation, were they not concerned about her medical condition? The doctors and nurses that are supposed to take care of us, walking by and doing nothing? How is that possible? We as a community are outraged about this, but for how long? When a certain blond non-talent socialite is the leading story for days cause she has to spend a couple of weeks in jail for a parole violation what chance does a poor woman with no health insurance have to maintain our attention long enough for us to really care enough to make changes?
