A friend was here, and her husband just passed away. She is blaming the hospital for not doing enough to save him. He was an alcoholic for many many years, and his liver failed. She felt like they didn’t try to help him. He was just pretty much cast aside to die, after a point when they knew they couldn’t save his life. I wanted to tell her that nationalized health care won’t have any treatment for people like him. None at all. Nothing.
If the guy needed a transplant, the system here would not have helped him either as he would have been ranked way down on the priority list of those needing livers.
