There’s so little true irony in the world. So when we run across it we should take the time to savor it slowly, like one would a fine wine or quality cigar.
If someone is a poor surgical risk to start with, moral and rational medical triage needs to acknowledge that delays will most likely compound the patient’s risks, not improve them; which is what seems to be the case in this report. She needed the operation and most likely could have only gotten weaker without it; and thereby only have become less of good surgical candidate with each delay. The chances of the progression to that outcome seem obvious to a rational mind, but not to a bureaucracy.
