Florida boy's appendix burst due to overcrowded hospital

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but was the kid saved? When I clicked on the link, the write never did come up due to my not having an account at the website.

God bless you always!!!

Yeah....It didn't say that he died.... Just that his appendix burst..... which is not all that uncommon. But according to the OP it has never happened in the history of mankind.....this is the one and only and very first incident and it's all Trump's fault and also global warming.

And guns. Don't forget guns
 
This wait is due to a Governor whose ignorance is causing the sickness and illness or a record number of children...The ACA has nothing to do with political ignorance.
Don't forget that Biden has failed to eradicate Covid so this death is also on him.....

OH....and the Sunspots! Just look at those Sunspots....that goddamed Trump! That son of a bitch...SUNSPOTS....I mean can you Imagine?
 
Wow....Biden and his human-trafficking migrants into FL filling up the emergency rooms with new patients is killing people.
Have you ever been in a waiting room in FL or CA?
I was the only motherfucker there that didn't look like he just got into the country.
Everyone looked just like the folks I saw when I was in Mexico....and none of them spoke English.
Gee....Biden ships hundreds of thousands of sick migrants into Florida to punish DeSantos....and they fill up the doctor's waiting rooms to get their free healthcare.
What could possibly go wrong???

The OP didnt say any of that you dumb piece of shit.
 

WOW! desantis' and his anti-mask and anti-vaccine stance is now even killing people who DO NOT have COVID. I can hear the first response from the MAGA side...."BUT HE DIDN'T DIE!"

desantis is a little trump. The only difference he is more dangerous because he may actually have a brain.

Tragic, but hardly unique. There is a report that a british woman died from liver cancer because she couldn't even get inside face to face for any testing due to the "lockdown" restrictions. Woman, 27, died of cancer after waiting months for face-to-face appointment
 
desantis is now the KING OF COVID! "Special needs" is not in his vocabulary. If he had a "special needs" family member, he would do what trump has done....hide them away and never mention their name.


For desantis is is "Survival of the Fittest." Screw those who have "special needs." That is their problem.


It's survival of the fittest for most in Florida.

While desantis has been vaccinated so survival of the fittest doesn't apply to desantis.

When did the republicans in Florida allow socialized medicine in Florida?

There is no socialized medicine in America except for the military. That is socialism.

A private hospital in Florida isn't socialized medicine.

It is capitalism and capitalism has caused health care rationing.
 
So ask yourself who was the author of this piece and what their motives are for writing it?

The author of this piece is one Jenny Deam.

IMO. . . I think she is pretty insightful. . . and, although I do not have access to the article in the OP, I am willing to bet, it is NOT meant as a hit piece on Desantis, but it is probably more an indictment of how the intersection of the government and health care industry are not precisely telling the truth about how this disease is being reported.

Any health care reporter that has a piece that is reported in Medscape AND another in childrenshealthdefense can't be entirely bad in my book.

Here is another investigation she was involved in.

Government ‘Flying Blind’ on Breakthrough Infections, as COVID Infections Among Fully Vaccinated Soar​


The CDC’s decision to stop tracking COVID in vaccinated people, unless they are hospitalized or die, means we have no full understanding on how the Delta variant spreads among the nearly 200 million partially or fully vaccinated Americans, or on how many are getting sick.

". . . Yet as spring turned to summer, scattered reports surfaced of clusters of vaccinated people testing positive for the coronavirus. In May, eight vaccinated members of the New York Yankees tested positive. In June, 11 employees of a Las Vegas hospital became infected, eight of whom were fully vaccinated. And then 469 people who visited the Provincetown, Massachusetts, area between July 3 and July 17 became infected even though 74% of them were fully vaccinated, according to the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

While the vast majority of those cases were relatively mild, the Massachusetts outbreak contributed to the CDC reversing itself on July 27 and recommending that even vaccinated people wear masks indoors — 11 weeks after it had told them they could jettison the protection.

And as the new CDC data showed, vaccines continue to effectively shield vaccinated people against the worst outcomes. But those who get the virus are, in fact, often miserably sick and may chafe at the notion that their cases are not being fully counted.

“The vaccinated are not as protected as they think,” said Topol, “They are still in jeopardy.”

The CDC tracked all breakthrough cases until the end of April, then abruptly stopped without making a formal announcement. A reference to the policy switch appeared on the agency’s website in May about halfway down the homepage.

“I was shocked,” said Dr. Leana Wen, a physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at George Washington University. “I have yet to hear a coherent explanation of why they stopped tracking this information.”

The CDC said in an emailed statement to ProPublica that it decided to focus on the most serious cases because officials believed more targeted data collection would better inform “response research, decisions, and policy. . . . ”

I guess most private hospitals don't accept Medicare or Medicaid?
 
Coat Hangers are going to be in great demand in Texas very soon. Yup, back to the dark alleys and uncertified doctors for all you women. But....those Texas good old boys can still bang away and then sue the people who try to help the women they have molested. Texass.....and no it isn't a typo.
With day after pills you Dimmers need coat hangers? Like Forrest, are you stupid or something?

With all due respect...how did you arrive at the conclusion that the author of the piece was "insightful" when you say you didn't have access to the article? Seriously?

From the other article she wrote.

LOL. You people will literally believe anything.
 
Come on, Mister Beale...there are 300,000 people on average that have appendicitis each year and 2 out of 10 end up with a burst appendix. One kid having his appendix burst while waiting in a crowded ER isn't indicative of a problem with the health care system in Florida or anywhere else! It's something that happens all of the time.
So I ask again...what was the agenda of the author of this piece?

I'll take "Things that didn't happen" for $800, Alex...
