Probably saw his Obamacare deductible.
Obamacare Death Panel, 3rd mobile division, automotive unit.
First victim of Obamacare.
When your times up, it’s up I suppose.
What we’ll never know is if his stay in the hospital would have saved him.
Well its a good bet he wouldn’t have gotten hit by a car if he had stayed in the hospital.
He had a meeting with Dr. Death.
Since no reason was given for why he was in the hospital, nor what drugs they were pumping in to him, we might never know as this story will probably not show up on any major news outlet.
What I truly want to know is HOW YOU REMOVE an IV that may be a necessary skill we might need. My last hospital stay was a nightmare. They blew 3 veins in the ER by using to large of IV starters. 4th one the nurse up stairs started and it blew too. Then they got the ultra sound guy, he found the last vein, a roller, did not have the knowledge how to stop that, just kept digging at my arm until he could get the starter in, the IV was to big, and hurt the whole 2.5 days it was in. I’d of pulled the thing out if I knew how, as the pain was that bad. Never had any ER or day surgery use IV starters that big before that they blew veins.
Future of 0’care 1 size fits all.
Lends credence to the theory that when your time is up, your time is up.
Sometimes people leave for a drink, drug or a smoke.
He may have learned that he had something terminal and decided to just end it?
That "for some reason" made me chuckle. Yeah. He did it "for some reason." Gotta love that insightful news analysis.
“advice”
That is one of the things I have always had a problem with as well. A few years ago, if I was conscious, before I let them touch me, I told them to use children’s needles as small as they could. I have had to have ivs in my legs, hands, and even through a vein in my neck that required a surgical procedure last time.
sounds like you're really obese and have no visible veins. The one size fits all isn't what's going on. If you're really sick you MAY need a larger diameter IV in order to get a lot of fluid or blood into you. If its meds only then a smaller bore IV may do. If they needed to get a sonogram to see your veins and youre chronically ill then you might want to consider getting some tennis balls and squeeze them in order to get some veins to develop and reduce the subq fat hiding your veins.
I'd of just done a central line if someone was that hard of a stick. You'd have really complained of that. Sounds like that may have been what they did. Those go in your neck, under your collar bone or in your groin.
Of course when they pulled it out, I had no frigging idea it went down to my toes. ;)

Pertinent axioms to menorize:
1) If you want to stay healthy, stay far away from the Government-Healthcare Industrial Complex (Doctors, Hospitals, Clinics, &c.).
2) If you happen do find yourself in a Government-Healthcare Industry facility, SIGN NOTHING.
3) If you are expected to have to stay at a Govenment-Healthcare Industry facility, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO TAKE YOUR SHOES AND CLOTHES AWAY FROM YOU.
4) If you have any doubts, see #1.
” against medical advise”
Proof that we still need English majors.
Yeah, that makes me feel better knowing he had some reason. I’d hate to think he pulled it out for no reason at all.
