Poor woman. Not to mention poor family. I hate it when people act like this.

I can't leave America, not when there are stunts like this going on. America's reputation is so bad, I can't leave, because no other societies will accept Americans. (from the sound of it, anyway)

I am not surprised that a hospital acted like a dick to her. A St. Francis hospital gave pneumonia to my grandparents and bad drugs that killed them.

And they still want us to pay a huge bill (since they thought they lived).

Fuckers.

Really now, I don't see any relevance between this event happening and the fact that it happened in the United States. There could be just as uncaring hospital staff in any other country. The fact that it happened in the United States has no bearing at all

See why I don't trust doctors?

But really, you're going to pin the mistakes of one hospital on the entire fucking country? I swear to Cod, some people will find any excuse to insult a country...

Cod?

If you want a compliment. Compare the UK to the US.
The UK is lamer.. at least around here.

I work at a nursing home, so I know how insensitive people can be. When you're dealing with death all the time some people seem to find it difficult to find worth in life. It's not comforting but it's true and I sometimes find myself feeling the same way. I've worked mainly when I've had vacations from school since last year and I've found that you get conditioned to death. Fortunately though, the love from those living should always be felt and recognized to overcome your fear and sadness. That's the beauty in being human, we are animals.

HOORAY SINGLE INTELLIGENT POST

This could happen, and DOES happen everywhere. Just because Canada / wherever in Europe gives a great health care plan on paper doesn't mean that the doctors and hospital staff never act retarded.

But bashing US is fun.

On a more serious note... I really hope that hospital will get heavy fines and the persons involved get fired. :/ I hear about people get mistreated now and then... but not in a such obvious case as this one.

You know what, there probably wasn't anyone available to help. At least here, hospitals are severely understaffed, and I hear this is true of many places. They may all have been responding to other emergencies.

However, it doesn't excuse why the civilians, police, and security guards didn't even try to help. Nor this:

Last week, federal inspectors declared that patients at King-Harbor were in "immediate jeopardy" of harm or death and gave the hospital 23 days to correct procedures or lose certification. It was the fourth time in less than four years that the hospital had received the warning.
Warnings are useless if they're all you give.

US or not, all I gathered is that the janitor did a fantastic job of cleaning up the vomit.

Yea, saw it on CNN this morning. Raised an eyebrow but not really too impressed given this day and age.

Maybe, but it's quite cliche nowadays. I can go anywhere on the interwebs and find a dozen people bashing the US. (Sometimes for good reasons, many times for shitty reasons)

How about we bash somewhere else for a change? I've been disappointed in Greenland ever since I learned that it's actually field of snow, I say we start bitching about them.

Someones bound to bitch that their planned "winter wonderland vacation" will be screwed.
