Unfortunately, no surprise. I watched a friend who was in severe distress, turned away from a VA Outpatient Clinic with them saying that we just needed some rest. He has a history of heart ailments. I told staff to call 911 if they weren’t going to treat him. The medics said, as I suspected, “congestive heart failure”. He died a few months later. RIP, Denny. Memory Eternal.

congestive heart failure has NO CURE except a heart transplant....what did you expect them to do?.

..knock off another patient and take the heart and give it to your friend?....

was he willing to go to an extended care facility and have 24/7 care?....probably not, because that would cost money and he would probably have to "spend down"....

people expect to live forever as long as others pay for it....
