Why would you even start an operation if you didn't have enough blood on hand?

Why would you even start an operation if you didn't have enough blood on hand?Because that is the standard of care in third-world countries like England.
(Sorry to my British friends, the formulation was too nice to resist. I love your country dearly, it is the land of my ancestors and I dream constantly of going back there, but as far as medical care goes, nope.)

“...she would still be alive if the blood had been available sooner.”
Stating the obvious. Who writes this?
The poor woman would be alive if the surgeon hadn’t puncture her jugular.
Prayers for the family.

Government health care at work in the UK, which is slowly becoming a third-world country.

No decency in regards to the facts. At the very least the reporter could have shown more respect for the grieving family.

AND BRITISH CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS LIKE MR. HANNAN ON FOX NEWS THE OTHER DAY REFUSE TO CONDEMN THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE AND DEMAND AN END TO NATIONALIZED HEALTH CARE.
WE MUST NEVER ALLOW OBAMACARE BECAUSE ONCE WE GET IT PEOPLE WILL ACCEPT IS AS NORMAL LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY INCLUDING SO-CALLED CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICANS.

“This hospital is supposed to be the cornerstone of the NHS in Manchester,...”
Lenin stated: “Medicine is the cornerstone of the arch of the socialist state”.
He never said “medicine is the cornerstone of the health of any nation-state and its citizens”.
They are just noticing the difference even though they never made the proper distinction using educated, discriminative thought.

Well this just can’t be true. I keep seeing RATS on TV saying everybody in Britain loves the National Health. Of course, this dead woman isn’t going to complain.
To: Lorianne
They will have plenty of blood on their hands soon enough due to the death cult that is slowly invading their demographics.

And this is what obama and the libs want for us. It's all quite logical. Kill off the older generation with inferior health care and redirect the resources previously spent on the elderly to buy off a new constituency.

This is outrageous! Although the patient would have bled out pretty fast if the vessel had been an artery, any 100+ bed hospital in the US would have had sufficient blood on had to save this young woman. Even if she had been AB neg (the most rare type), they would have had at least a couple of units on hand and would have been able to use O neg as a back up until more could arrive from the Red Cross by Highway Patrol if necessary.
I know this because I am a Medical Technologist who has been the one in Blood Bank working to save such a patient. EVERY patient, young or old, insured or not would receive this kind of care. People in the US expect this. Those who are clamoring for a national health plan have no clue what they are really asking for.

Picture Obama as the surgeon and Uncle Sam as the patient with the punctured jugular.
