"Liberal socialist medicine at it''''s best, and this is what you get if you allow Hillary or anyone else to create a "Universal Health" system" Posted by lorinkundert at 12:47 PM : Jul 02, 2008

You don''t even know what a "Universal Health" system is.

Doctors looking at this video thinking "better she dropped dead on the waiting room floor rather than while they were treating her...at least they won''t get sued"

The day we stop suing the crapp out of doctors, will be the day they''ll actually give a crapp about us"

IT is an OUTRAGE! And some are correct this is a result that can happen more often with universal healthcare- less qualified doctors, everyone only caring about themselves- oh, that''s right- that one things already exists!

I''ve heard of New Yorkers being rude, but this is just ridiculous. Hopefully this problem isn''t systemic.

gbdmd, you want our premiums to go up again?

New York City seems to have joined the 3rd World.

And for a previous poster, hospitals do NOT do the best they can. Private hospitals run with minimum possible staffs while owners and shareholders pocket the profits. And you don''t even want to think about subjecting someone to a public hospital.

Infections run rampant, because nurses can''t be bothered to wash properly between patients. Patients receive the wrong medications and the wrong dosages because the can''t be bothered to double check work that is critical to the patients'' health .... and life.

Trust me, unless you have a life threatening condition, or a chronic condidtion that may progress without treatment, you don''t want to roll the dice for your life by being admitted to a hospital.

If what you''ve got won''t kill you, they''ll try to find something that will! LOL

Do not listen to this liberal rubbish. Hospitals do the best they can.

"Liberal rubbish"... What exactly is liberal rubbish about leaving a woman to die while waiting for care, she then actually dies, and her body is left unattended while hospital personnel ignore the body.

If this is an example of hospitals doing the best they can... then it''s time they did better.

"patients who complain too loudly are sometimes handcuffed, beaten or injected with psychotropic drugs. "

Are they running a Nazi camp down there ?

The fired employees have been absorbed in another facility under the same management. Well, that''s a fitting punishment huh ...

[georgew1956]

that is why I and many others live in smallville usa.
people live differantly in big city''s and we in smalltowns live the way internet people like to see human beings live. get over it they will never change.
its there way of life. its no big deal to them to see people lieing on the floor where we would have died to help this person.

[Over the next four months, the hospital will attempt to shorten the median waiting time to around 10 hours.]

from what ... 24 hours? this is absurd ... maybe they need more than four months to get to a 10 hour median waiting time.

Do not listen to this liberal rubbish. Hospitals do the best they can.
