A lot of beautiful places are ruined by being populated heavily with morons.

I do agree on that; America itself is a beautiful country. However, being populated by morons makes it nigh unlivable. You got lawsuits for $60 million dollars because of a single missing pair of pants, among more of the most retarded reasons people are getting sued for. It's just... crappy. Freedom and rights seem to exist only to screw you over and don't work for you at all unless you're in a large corporation or can afford a good lawyer. Then we got things like this article where people have a New Yorker*-like approach to pain and suffering. Nobody gives a shit about anything anymore unless it acts against them as an inconvenience or if they think they can gain something from it.

On the topic of the article itself, that was just plain horrible. If I was ever in that kid's position though... I have a bit of an anger problem, so chances are I would summon up some energy through adrenaline and whatnot and go beat a doctor up until they do SOMETHING to help. Even if it involves giving me morphine or something. As long as I don't feel the pain.


* New Yorker behavior: Best example I can give is Men In Black II, during the subway sequence. Which is the funniest scene in the history of mankind, and also oh-so-roflmaoing true.

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.


You've got to be kidding me... The NHS has its problems but it's still a damned fine health service compared to the USA's.

I live in America, and I think it gets stupider and stupider each day. Like they don't really care about the people, just money and power

Another thing was that this little kid called 911 because his mom fainted, but the person on the other end of the call said "Stop joking or I'll tell her what you've been doing." He calls again, and she says "Listen kid, we can't be messing around on the phones with fake calls." And hung up. Then she ended up dying

When hospitals bitch over who should control the area.. the NHS is not that good. Also, an electric fence without permission is legal (despite the fact it makes noises at times) because it's not enough electricity to deter cats which never jumped over that fence in the first place. XD

I probably live in a crap area, but heck.. I can only speak from experience.

On a more serious note... I really hope that hospital will get heavy fines and the persons involved get fired. :/


Fines and firing people can never compensate for a life, especially not a mom. But it gives a certain amount of wellbeing.

Yeah, I believe the guy who discovered Greenland named it that so people would move there with him. Of course, they'd have been pretty pissed when they actually got to Greenland.

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.

wtf! Lawsuit.

I'm glad about Canada's laws; if this woman were Canadian, she would be alive today (provided it wasn't 100% fatal what happened).

What, they aren't required to take every call seriously no matter how unbelievable it sounds? Sure hope I'm never attacked by anything supernatural. Or what if someone is being held hostage, and calls 911, only to have the kidnapper grab the phone and start making jokes?
