TOPICS: VetsCoR
KEYWORDS: hospital; veterans
As if the upcoming 4th of july wasn't patriotic enough. the staff at the Albuquerque VA hospital following SOP to dispatch an ambulance to a heart attack, reulted in the death of the veteran.

The heart attack occured in the hospital cafeteria the ER was in the next building a few hundred feet away no personnel with portable lifesaving equipment was sent the ambulance arrived hundreds of feet away in 20 minutes the veteran had died by the time medical help arrived IN THE FREAKING HOSPITAL

I am sure the new VA CEO will send condolences and a free box of procter and gamble soap.

I was visiting somebody and became faint in a hospital. I asked the nurse for water and instead she ran and got a doctor. He said they could do nothing for me unless I went down to admitting and got admitted. (We’re talking about a glass of water.) I went down and sat in the lobby until I got better and somebody took me home.

Maybe he was next in line for surgery after a sex-change operation, you know those have priority now.

Va has really strange operating procedures with emergency's, its like they have not been trained for them, they operate on a doctors office mentality.

This vet was just at the hospital for some routine tests. He was walking around, waiting for his appointment, when he was stricken. The Albuquerque VA hospital told the widow nothing about this 30 minute delay getting her husband to the ER. They just told her he had died at the facility. The first the wife heard about the delay was when a friend of hers called her after seeing this story on the local news last night (I know this because my wife was that friend who called.) The widow was already devastated, and of course it was much much worse when she learned the death might have been avoided.

Dear Forward the Light Brigade,

First, your English Composition needsa work: Bush’s, not ‘Bushes’.
Second, your wording indicates that you are a sore loser, since your choice, Gore, did not win.
Third, what about the Vietnam, Korean, and WW2 vets? Why neglect them? It is obvious, by your wording, that you don’t give them any thought, because it does not fit your political view!

Enjoy your Independence Day, brought to you through the blood and deaths of many military members, and veterans, like me!

Hospitals now have AED's everywhere.....and most people at them are trained in CPR.

That said...why we have to call 911 doesn't make sense. I worked at a hospital that the Maint. Dept responded to visitor problems. Never made sense to me....

I'm sure it's insurance and liability issues.....

Dear Osage,

I have fat fingers, and I lost power in a storm, so I am a little tired.
