Bleeding internally, 'screaming in pain,' Brampton woman spent 5 days in hospital hallway

Just my daily reminder to Americans why you DON'T want a healthcare (or any other) system like Canadas.


Overwhelmed ER leaves woman with internal bleeding on hallway stretcher for 5 days

Her name is Jamie-Lee Ball, but for five days last month during severe overcrowding at a Brampton, Ont., hospital, she was "Hallway Patient No. 1."

Although she was bleeding internally and in "excruciating pain," Ball spent five days in a hallway of Brampton Civic Hospital on a stretcher with no pillow and just three thin curtains between her and a busy public area.

"It was really surprising," Ball said in an interview. "One of the comments that my mom made is that she felt like we were in a Third World country — deprived of a room, just lying on stretcher in the hallway."

On March 25, Ball was suffering from severe abdominal pain. Having undergone major abdominal surgery in February, she worried it could be a complication and went to the emergency room at the Brampton hospital.

Ball could tell the ER was busy, and not long after she arrived the hospital announced it was under "Code Gridlock," a state in which a hospital is essentially full and patients can no longer be admitted or moved to a bed.

I don't approve of this for a minute but your idea of healthcare if you're poor = die at home.

How is that better?

In 2007, Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital let a woman die in the ER. She had a perforated bowel, she was bleeding and screaming in agony. It was so bad, other patients tried calling 911 to get paramedics to take her to another hospital. No one would come because she was already at the hospital. The staff sent out a janitor to mop up the blood around here. The poor woman finally bled out and died. It was a mercy.

This complex was called the King Drew Medical Center. As a result of this death, the Charles Drew family withdrew their name and support. After failing EVERY inspection, the hospital was closed with Maxine Waters screaming that closing the hospital was caused by racisim. White people didn't want poor black people to get medical care. It's open again now.
So, Canada isn't alone. Poor medical care happens every time democrats are in charge.

Every healthcare system in the world is struggling. It's called too many people chasing too few hospital beds. It's happening in America as well, ask anybody what the ER wait times are, and how they have to drive around to get treated.
