"Big Elevator" is to blame. No one takes the stairs anymore - why else would her body go unnoticed for weeks?
A print article said that opening a door to the stairwell triggers an alarm, and nobody heard anything!
San Fransicko? The hospital staff was probably having sex with the body for the past couple weeks.
Guess they ran out of empty beds.
Either that, or the poor woman tried signing up for Obamacare and became so frustrated by continuing to be shut out, gave up and ended it all, ahead of the death panels.
The Age Of Irresponsibility. It’s nobody’s fault. Never is.
“Right now, we are exploring implementing positive measures to ensure that unfortunate occurrences like this neeeever happens again.” (And now let’s all forget it, especially you over there little miss perfect who I guess has never made a mistake in her life), always says the spokesman who drew the short straw.
Dead patient in the hospital stairwell has been there over two weeks covered in maggots? Bah, that’ll blow over in a day or so. Not to worry, we’ll take about three minutes of pain on the 11 o’clock news then they’ll go right to sports and weather with Chip Stormgale. Maybe the news will cover this again nine months from now when our insurance settles out of court.
Nobody ever loses their job no matter what happens, unless somebody says something that’s construed to be racist.
ok, obamacare is the worst thing to happen to the United States of America, but how in the world can you claim that the death of this woman is the direct result of obamacare since she died before it was implemented? I understand your premise, but zerocare began to kick in 10/1 and this poor woman was dead before that date.
Hope the hospital doesn’t put the extra 17 days on the bill.
This gave me an idea. Build a place like this hospital to hold death row inmates. Build all kinds of one-way “exits” that lead to hallways with locked doors. No one to blame if someone just happens to wander in to one of these.
Are we supposed to assume she died immediately? How long did she suffer, trapped in the stairwell, possibly crying out for help? Was she alive when they were “searching” for her?
They found her after a detective said “something’s wrong, it just doesn’t smell right.”
