Once she fell, Natasha Richardson was doomed (Vanity)

Posted on 03/20/2009 4:04:53 PM PDT by devere

It seems that there was no neurosurgeon at the local hospital, and no medical helicopter in the entire province of Quebec, so once she fell poor Natasha was doomed, even if she had asked for immediate medical assistance. It seems almost unbelievable in the 21st century, but that's what socialized medicine brings you. Death.

But, how does this also explain the deaths of, both, Sonny Bono and Michael Kennedy, who were two other people who died after crashing into trees while skiing in the U.S. instead of skiing in Canada?

She turned away the ambulance, saying she was fine.

Socialized medicine+a petty bureaucrat,not a doctor or even a paramedic, determines your level of medical care.

No medical copter available to peasants. If a politician (or somebody connected) fell ill, a military copter would be dispatched.

Terri Schindler might still be alive if Florida had socialized health care, so maybe there’s a silver lining?

Is it true that she walked away from the accident and only hours later collapsed?

Dr. Michael Baden appeared on Greta’s show last night. He said if she had went to the hospital in an ambulance directly after the accident, they would have done a CAT scan and most likely would have seen the bleed. They would have repaired it, and she would have been just fine.

he said for a couple hours she probably would not have noticed until the headache and nausea started. By then, it is probably too late from the pressure on the brain.

As soon as I heard this I told my wife that she was killed by the Canadian Health system. With something as small as the bailout mess with the bonuses, can you imagine what national health care would look like in the US.

Coming to America ... interesting thing though. In Australia they’re implementing our type of health care. A politician said “here comes American health care” ...
