Tell it to this guy.
was paramedics union?
Think of the money
Saved on the hospital stay...
A Success Story!
Yeah, the patient died,
But that’s not really the point.
They saved the money!
Shameless attention grabber!
Ouch!
Called at 1:00 AM
They arrived at 4:30
Nothing to see here...
Britain’s Last Export
Of any value is the
Cautionary Tale.
How DARE she die without government pre-approval!
Some people will die to get a little attention.
And then when the jury awards her relatives the damages, the judge can tell the paramedics, “Stop being a drama queen.”
Some ER doctors here aren’t that much better. Just the other day one asked why parents brought their kid in who suddenly had two seizures and another one on the way to the ER. It was like they were wasting his time.
Well, it’s not only the UK. I think it has to do with the fact that some health professionals don’t take women’s complaints as seriously as they take men’s.
A few years ago my husband called the paramedics when I was having trouble breathing. I was a week post surgery and the paramedics didn’t think it was worthy of investigation, thought it might be anxiety...why they came to that conclusion I’ll never know. My husband insisted I go to the hospital...diagnosis pneumonia in both lungs and a week long stay in the hospital on IV antibiotics.
I was ready to trust the paramedics and figure maybe it wasn’t that serious. So I think it might be a gender thing with certain health professionals figuring women are being...how did they put it, “drama queens.”
Just my 2 cents.
“David Tubb realised something was wrong at 1am when she appeared unwell and dialled 999 “
He might as well dialed ‘666’...
Holy cow, I didn’t know “heartburn” could kill? Your stomach can burst? Of course, everyone and his brother knows that the British govt controlled health industry is a joke and an accomplice to murder but this is the first time I heard that acid indigestion can, over time, cause your stomach to explode.
Who told this older lady (63) to drop dead? A Muslim ambulance driver?
If that was my Mother or Grandmother I can tell you Exactly Who else would be laying there also.
The other part of the story is the lack of treatment of her ulcers. Pretty easy medicine. A bit puzzling, in fact.
Tell it to this guy.
Well she did comply with the paramedics demands.....
Poor woman.
I my years as a paramedic we could not refuse care or transport to anyone who called 911 regardless of what we thought about the lack of urgency for their medical problem. The reason ...we feared being sued for failure to act. If the government is providing the service they have an immunity from law suit.
