IF they found out she had no money, I am not sure what to think.
(didn’t watch the video per FR standards for commenters).
Why should hospitals be forced to care for people who won’t pay? I am not sure that is ethical, either.
I am sorry this lady suffered and died. But I don’t think assuming everyone else is going to take care of you is the answer.
I understand the part about hospitals are not a charity but it depends on whether this hospital is a county hospital or not, IMO (i.e.. one that is normally required to deal with this kind of patient money problem).
I DID watch the video and the officers’ and security detail’s actions and attitudes were, frankly, “I could give a shit about you.”
I’ve BEEN in hospitals like this. Foreign educated doctors, bad English, uncaring attitudes and are constantly at the mercy of what a hospital administrator might say about non-paying patients. Or, if it’s not a county hospital and the patient doesn’t have means to pay they do the very MINIMUM required by law and start looking for St. Elsewhere to take them.
