So, when the death panel decides it's time for you to go, you'll probably also be arrested for tresspassing if your found on hospital property.

How could she be cold to the touch after just 15 minutes?
The human body at room temperature takes something like 12 hours to equilibrate.

If she voted for Obama, then she assisted and encouraged the care that she was given. This is going to be an occurrence that happens more often as Obamacare gets closer.

If you want a view into hell, check out St Louis.

1. I’d wager it was more than 15 mins.
2. If she’s laying on a cold concrete floor she would lose heat quickly.

Plus poor circulation to begin with.

Parts of St Louis are very nice. Other parts would give hell a run for its money.

I’s one of Holder’s people, so no doubt Hussein’s handlers are working all the angles to milk all the political capital they can out of this.

That doctor, the hospitals involved, and the STL city govt will be making Ms Brown’s children wealthy.
Too bad Mom had to suffer and die in such a terrible way.

Her blood wasn’t circulating right before she died. Really sad. I hope she has someone to sue everyone for her (I am not the suing type but those involved deserve it).

Funny, I read the first sentence and thought she could have blood clots. I have no medical background.

Once peripheral circulation shuts down, the skin gets cold quickly. Peripheral circulation can shut down in the dying process long before the heart stops.
The core may still be warm, but the periphery loses heat fast.

The poor woman knew she was dying. The doctors just didn't want to deal with her. They probably interpreted it as drug-seeking behavior. Drug-seekers can be very loud and persistent. A person who knows she dying might be loud and persistent too. Without tests, I can imagine it is difficult to tell if someone has a deep vein thrombosis as it appears she did.
Not excusing - you never just turn someone away who had the history she did of a leg injury (sketchy though the details are in this report). I've dealt with a couple of cases where people were discharged without proper care and subsequently died of a thrombosis or embolism. I've had at least two where they died in the hospital from clots - all of them as a consequence of some lower extremity injury.

Another death attributable to the WOD.

That is one stupid remark.
I’m guessing you also blame Trayvon’s death as a result of the WOD?

Oh please, the ER personnel took one look at this homeless person and assumed she was seeking drugs and from that point on did not really attempt to listen to her or properly question her to make any determination beyond their first impression.
This attitude is inculcated in medical personnel due to the WOD and the fact that they will be criminally punished for over prescribing controlled substances.
The drug seeking behavior of addicts in ERs is a result of the WOD.
Laws affect behavior, tax laws, drug laws, traffic laws... they all have intended effects and unintended effects.
IMO, the unintended effects outweigh the intended effects to the point that the WOD is a net negative to the safety and happiness of the average citizen.
