Insanity in Health Care

This is one of the most disgusting things I've heard lately...

Woman Dies in L.A. Emergency Room Waiting Area

And if the article isn't enough to piss you off, try checking out the audio of the TWO 9-1-1 calls made by her boyfriend and by another person in the ER waiting area:

1st Call

2nd Call (This one gets really interesting around the 1:00 mark)


As if I wasn't worried enough about having to be seen in an ER....

I listened to that the other day just after it happened... Can you believe the 911 operator... Telling the women in the second call that it wasn't an emergency...

You would THINK, that the 911 operator would be very concerned that they are getting calls from these people in the ER and would of sent, I don't know, possibly the cops out to check it out.

I mean really, would it of been that hard to act human and show a little concern for this poor woman.

I heard about that yesterday from a friend of mine.

That's a load of BS. The woman was VOMITING BLOOD!

*sigh* I hope that 9-1-1 operator gets fired, or at least reprimanded.


People these days.

I know, this totally horrified me. The 911 operater needs a new job, one where there is no interaction with people so that pesky emotion "compassion" need never make an appearence.
