My grandmother had a heart attack the other day and had to be brought to the emergency room. My mother went to visit her today and told me that the hallways were full of ER patients. While I wasn’t there to see for myself, you would think this kind of thing would only happen after a natural disaster or some other kind of mass casualty event.
Why were the hallways stuffed with patients without their own rooms? It turns out that, during the past few years, at least 5 hospitals within the broader area had shut down, with no new ones were built to replace them. The profit motive has driven the healthcare administrator ghouls to give up even the pretense that they’re able to offer timely care.
Death to Amerikkka!
A couple weeks ago I went to the hospital for an unrelenting cough that was starting to tear my back and rib muscles. Got there, had to wait over 3 hours from them to take a couple X-rays. Then told me it’s probably just allergies and then they didn’t even have any basic cough medicine and told me to pick it up at Walmart which I couldn’t because it was past 11pm and they were closed. Billed me $400 dollars and now I’m 99% sure it was a covid cough and not allergies.
