Let me make my point another way. After a couple of days when the infection was obvious he didn't go back to the doctor because they had discharged him. You state one of my points, "He would have been treated if he had gone back when the infection became apparent." Socialized medicine does "suck". I never stated that healthcare workers are monsters.

Discharge only means that the care ended. It does not imply a hospital stay. If you break your arm, they put a cast on it and then discharge you and send you home. The word discharge does not mean that he stayed there overnight in this case.
