Canadian woman dies in emergency room after seven-hour wait; husband says she was 'neglected'

Allison Holthoff, a Canadian woman, spent hours in a temporary waiting room before doctors started administering IV fluid and ordering tests, but it was too late for her.

And the US is close to having the same system thanks to obummer and the loony left

People 'do' die in ER's. I think the problem is much bigger in America due to the poor and middle class relying on ER's so heavily. And too, as I mentioned when this thread appeared yesterday, people in America die when turned away from an ER on account of cost considerations and presumably 'class' considerations.

But! It's free! It's universal!!

Of course, it isn't 'free', and universal doesn't equate to quality.

True, people do die in ER's, but a 7 hour wait? The problem is not "much bigger in America due to the poor and middle class relying on ER's so heavily." If that statement is true, it only makes the lady"s death that much more telling since the ER she was in was not being used heavily by the poor and middle class so should have had plenty of ability to help her.

LOL

maybe there were a lot of illegals who needed treatment in ER that day? they're more important than Americans, some say

In inner cities citizens believe that calling EMS is a right to front line service. And a percentage call for a taxi ride by the medical squads. to not take a citizen may mean potential racial accusations. The women working in the ER's may be African American and some will tell or question the EMT's/Paramedics why they take/took someone there. The price is free even with Oxygen. The inner-city hospitals though may not have the great reputation if only due to the amount of business they get. In recent years and decades citizens have been taken to hospitals much further out. Someone pays for this. Working class people are actually charged even with massive local taxes.

Underneath the big headline for that write up is this.

Doctors told family the woman had 1% chance of surviving and would not pursue surgery.​

I once saw it said that country music legend Randy Travis had a one percent chance of surviving his health issues when they were first dumped on his plate. This summer, it will be a decade since that health decline of his and he is still here.

God bless you and him and that lady's family always!!!

P.S. A massive stroke is what Randy suffered according to his Wikipedia page here.

Socialized medicine sucks

Exactly like capitalist medicine.

Exactly like capitalist medicine.

I dont think so

No capitalist hospital would ignore an emergency room patient till they died

The capitalist hospital knows the ambulance chasing vultures aka personal injury lawyers are waiting to pounce

In the socialist hospital all the employees get paid the same whether the patients live or die

Thats going to cost those hospitals a lot of money

In a socialist system it's just business as usual

Whether it costs them or not, it disputes your previous claim.

Not at all

It will happen less when there are consequences than when there arent
