OK, so you’re another who beleives celebrities, politicians and the super-wealthy are afforded the same exact level of medical effort, care and treatment as everyone else!
Go it!
Did I say that? No. So let’s keep it within the context of the discussion, shall we?
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.
