Senior MP Ann Clwyd says her husband ´died like a battery hen´ in hospital
Telegraph ^ | 12/4/12 | John-Paul Ford Rojas

Posted on 12/04/2012 3:08:55 PM PST by Nachum

Ann Clwyd broke down as she spoke about the final moments of Owen Roberts, who contracted pneumonia after being admitted.[Snip] She said her husband was squashed against the side of his bed, his lips dry, and cold from a fan that had been turned on for a patient in an adjacent bay. A light had been flicked on in the four-bed ward and someone shouted out “anybody for breakfast?” just moments before he died., Ms Clwyd said. She painted a picture of nurses who treated her husband with “coldness, resentment, indifference and even contempt"

Anyone who did that to a battery hen (I guess they’re talking about compartments in a chicken coop) would get in trouble.

These persons are not the only ones to blame but they are a big part of it. Would you condemn a libertarian if he reported that he freely saw the sun rise in the east?

As you say, it is too late. O’Bummer won a second term and will allow mandates to drive insurance rates to incredible heights. The evil insurance companies will be blamed, and socialized medicine will be the only replacement.

The English people despise their brutish system. But they never get rid of it because they are so scared and feeble.

Coming to America.

Does MP Clwyd mean this isn’t what she meant when she voted for all that NHS stuff?

I say he got exactly what he deserved, and so did she.

“A rational person has to decide when to commit suicide rather than suffer.”

I disagree. A rational person should open fire on these Nazi health care providers and then flip the AK banana clip over to fire the next 30 rounds.

In Britain, if you are of means, like it sounds this woman and her husband were, you can afford a private doctor and a private hospital.

So, they apparently wanted “free” health care from the NHS so much that they “got what they paid for”.

Seriously, what do you expect from government health care other than the bare minimum, the cheapest everything, and understanding that the “culling” of patients is a cost saving device?

Socialized medicine’s big priority is “equal” health care, instead of quality health care. So if “equal” means you die in your own filth from starvation and neglect, socialists are fine with that.

In their sick minds, it doesn’t matter if 99% of people get good health care, if 1% don’t.

Someday the dems will wake up as if from a dream but it will be too late.

That’s why you take him home and love on him yourself, so he won’t have to die such an obscene death. If you love someone then you take them home to feel loved while they die. No sympathy for the woman, great empathy that this poor man was married to her and had to die like this.
