There is 'lazy and careless" medical staff then there are people who just don't give a damn about their fellow humans.

What we can expect when DMV quality healthcare is implemented here, thanks to Barack Obama.

And it will exacerbate the problem when government begins running things here.

I went to a small Tea Party rally at Boston Harbor last week, and this was what I had to say about that:

[IamConservative]

General rule in my family; when one of us has to stay in the hospital, someone stays with them 24 hours a day. Make sure everyone entering sterilizes their hands, check any meds they bring in, read the chart and make sure you understand the treatment plan from the doctor - make the general staff follow it. Your loved one is just a job to most of them.

"His mother Rita Cronin, a civil servant"

Very sad that she had to live the nightmare of her paymaster. There is nothing "civil" about government and it's ambition, nor is there any "serving" purpose in it's true intentions.

In a world of government run healthcare, he was a bad ROI anyhow. The mean time between failures of that unit was too costly.

Is a patient too expensive? Kill him. Is a patient being annoying? Kill him. Is it inconvenient to care for the patient? Kill him. Is a patient too old? Kill him. Socialized medicine has it all figured out.

My family has always had a policy of never leaving a family member alone in the hospital. When my grandmother was dying, the children and grandchildren took shifts. When my mother had surgery and was in for almost a week, I stayed in the hospital while my sister stayed home and took care of the house.

Anyone in the hospital anywhere should have an advocate with him looking out for his interests.

This is beyond lazy or incompetence. Doesn’t it take like 4 days to die of dehydration? He was completely ignored for 4 days? His mom didn’t visit him for four days?

Something doesn’t add up in this story.

[Born to Conserve]

If you want a taste of what’s to come here in the USA, just talk to people who have had loved ones in “hospice” care. That’s were terminal patients are given “special” care. Yeah right. It’s where patients are abused and neglected so they die quicker and cheaper. Do not let a loved one enter “hospice”. You will get the worst medical services possible.

V is for Vendetta. Vendetta is murder as revenge for murder.

All his parents need to know is the names of those responsible. Then hire someone to carry out the revenge.

It will serve as a message to other negligent medical types.

In this case, the rulebook of vendetta would be that each of these medical people be kidnapped, and put in a locked cell to starve.

[ElPaseo]

Is this what we can expect with public care?
