this is where the great human side of fr can be found. you're too predictable. A latin-sounding name and you're a scum and a freeloader and hospitals are right to dump you in the gutter. Are you people serious? the first 5 posts are positively sick. wonder where it goes from here. get back to us when it happens to your kids.

Oh, great. So I guess the hospitals can count on you to put these people up with free room and board?

I'm sure they'll be happy to taxi them out in your direction. What's your address?

This person is mentally ill and a paraplegic.

What would YOU like us to do with the ill and suffering?

Sheesh!

If this story is true, and only as it appears, shame on the hospital. But, we don't know all the details, truly...maybe they did try to find someplace, and he actually refused to go to any. Most hospitals do contact local churches, homeless shelters and places, YMCA's, etc. for temporary housing. Could it be that he did not want to go there? Many homeless, esp. those with mental problems, cannot be forced to go to those places. They are afraid. It is a bleak picture, for sure.

Seems that this is not far from when many diseased people during the Dark Ages were left in the gutters to rot and die, and spread disease. You would think by now we could have a better solution even if these people are difficult to convince.

No, I don't think that we the taxpayers or hospitals have to provide everything, but he must have come in the hospital with clothes, what happened to those? Unless, they were so soiled and covered with bugs, etc. that they had to get rid of them. Often homeless people who are taken into the hospital have clothes, socks, shoes that are stuck on them and loaded with "critters." In which case any church, Goodwill center, etc. could have at least provided clothing. However, to me it just seems there must be more to this story than meets the eye, than that they simply dumped this guy without trying anything.

Your buddy Hitler had a plan for the handicapped. It sounds as if you would favor it.
