Those stupid peons think they're afforded the same level of health care, medical response, medical effort and treatment as we and our well connected friends get!!!

Doctors in Italy battled for 40 minutes to save the life of "Sopranos" star James Gandolfini after the actor's 13-year-old son called for help, according to new reports.

Oh, okay Scott...
I just can’t get anyone to answer the question...Seems to be a thread full of those who run for the tall grass when asked uncomfortable and difficult questions.
Take care!
Instead of continually evading question at #31, feel free to answer it!
God bless them for what they do!

What the heck is the matter with you? What do you have against first responders?
Unless, of course, you’re an instigator and a troll trying to cut down the best among us.
Could that describe you? Seeing your posts, I think it does.
In a code blue situation the LAST thing the response team thinks is: "Gee, is this guy rich or famous? Guess we better give him extra good care."
And 40 minutes is quite reasonable for a code.
The only time I've seen a code go on for longer than that is on kids.
Why? You can often get young hearts started again.
Not often seen in obese adults with terrible CAD.
Gandolfini was a goner, and no amount of ACLS would ever bring him back.
But the Italian ER gave him a chance by at least trying.
Ping to nick.
Actually they probably would have. A friend of mine died pretty much the same way last month and they spent nearly an hour trying to resuscitate him.
Sorry but you’re just spouting vile class warfare leftist lies. You should feel shame spouting such filth.
I was 10 when my dad died of cancer at age 53. I was 53 when I was diagnosed with cancer, that will rock your world.
My mom died of cancer when was was 60, I was 30. Since than I lost my eldest brother to cancer and the middle brother has survived cancer (so far). I'm pushing 70 and still keep an eye out for the "guy with the scythe". I stay current on all screening and diagnostic testing. Currently wondering if ObamaCare is going to be the undoing of my winning streak...

You think celebrities, Congress and the superwealthy are afford the same exact level of medical effort, care and treatment as everyone else?
Yes or no boop?
Funny how you bring a picture of them in to support your class warfare commie crap.
Oh it's dico-stu....lol Feel free to answer the question everyone else is avoiding stu!
>>You think celebrities, Congress and the superwealthy are afforded the same exact level of medical effort, care and treatment as everyone else?<<
Yes or no?
I notice you’ve spun the question, a classic example of leftist BS from a liar.
Let’s look at your FIRST version of the question:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3033672/posts?page=2#2
Would they do the same for a non-celebrity?
Of course lots of people pointed out that the answer to that question is yes they do, 40 minutes is pretty standard for a code blue unresponsive call. Then then you decided to change the question to your new one, which is much broader, and of course we all know the answer to that is different because it includes on going care which is still generally covered by what you can afford.
But of course as a commie class warrior you don’t care about that. You’ve got an ax to grind and you’re gonna grind it even if you have to change the actual question being asked. you’re a commie symp, feel shame.
Sounds to me that you aren't man enough to admit you went READY! FIRE! AIM!
As it has been pointed out, nobody is disputing there is one set of care for the rich and famous (according to what they can afford) and the regular guy. What they ARE disputing is that when it comes to some guy dropping dead of a heart attack...everyone pretty much gets the same amount of care....which was your ORIGINAL point....that he got worked on LONGER because he was famous.
YOU have been given now a mountain of testimonials that show this just simply is not true. And I'll add one more:
Back on May 24th, 2004, my best friend dropped dead of a heart attack at his house at about 11 PM. Between the house, ambulance and the hospital...they worked on him for over an hour. They were still working on him when we got to the hospital. He didn't make it. He was not a rich man...an actor...a politician...and we were at a level III trauma center...and they worked on him 20 minutes LONGER than Gandolfini.
So yes...there is (and certainly will be in the future) a difference in long-term care. But if you continue to say that Joe Schmo, husband and father gets less life saving work done than someone like Gandolfini...you are either ignorant or too prideful to admit you stepped in it. And frankly...you insult all of those emergency workers who do this for a living.
Wrong...Not one person here answered the question truthfully. But it seems you came the closest.
What they ARE disputing is that when it comes to some guy dropping dead of a heart attack...everyone pretty much gets the same amount of care.
Pretty much???
LOL!
No sale.
why not?
I have no idea...It seems to be a big mystery as to why the rich/celebrities, etc., receive so much attention and the best of care!
yeowza~
As a physician in Mississippi, treating Joe Jackball for 25 years, I will tell you that the most disadvantaged farmer or the grandest trial attorney gets my exact same effort and was afforded the same attention, thought, and time. The wealthy may be able to fly back and forth to Mayo, afford 24/7 home nursing care etc.,but I try as hard as I can for each patient. If Obamacare denies a patient admission, or chemotherapy based on beancounting as opposed to the patients needs, we can only do what we can do. Please dont impugn my efforts, I have stayed up all night working on Mr Jackball and probably have a true charity rate of 1 of 3 patients. If you’d like some justice, come to disadvantaged and underserved areas and pitch in. Compassion and honest effort beats a solid gold IV or a beautifully appointed office anyday.
oh, ok. i thought you might know something about the Italian health care system.
