It really comes back to a point I have been driving recently. People scoff especially what I call the 'Dead Beat' crowd here on FR, because their hearts have become so harddened that they can no longer see the difference between the poor, the ill and the slouthful.

To the poor and the ill the bible instructs us to help as we can:

'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'
Matthew 25:45

"Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker;"
Proverbs 17:5

But the the Bible has plenty to say about the Slothful:

"04 The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing.
Proverbs 20:4

"For while we were yet with you, we gave you this rule and charge: If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
2 Thessalonians 3:10

He was in a cell in a medical facility. My opinion why he died aside from the physical reason why he died, is - he died because he was quiet.

It appears the guards were medical people and my guess it there were patients there who were NOT quiet and they spent their time on those - why worry/check on a patient who was quiet? One may have walked by, saw the patient was quiet, so he moved on.

If you are in a regular hospital, except for the techs who show up a few times a day to take your vital signs, if you are quiet, they leave you alone. If you need the nurse, you punch the button - and wait - you best not be dying right then, cause those buttons are answered in order unless you are in intensive care where they will charge in if you punch the button.

In the interest of humanity, I'll tell you how to get OUT of a hospital:
You are scheduled to go home that day. Nurses know it and they don't care when you get out of there. (Maybe you got immediately out, that is the exception not the rule). They have a stack of forms they have to complete and get a doctor to sign before you can leave. In their minds, you are already gone so they leave you to rot in your room.

So, husband could get out of hospital, he was in the wheelchair and I had gathered all his things, then we sat, and sat. I had enough and he needed out of there. Told him I was pushing him in from of nurse's counter and he should ask for a coke. Pushed him there and he said he wanted a coke. That made one of them have to do something. I said, “It's almost time for lunch. Do you want him to eat it here or should I take him back to the room?”

Within ten minutes, we were out of there. They knew I wasn't going to shut up so the only option for them was to get him out - and they did the work, took off to get doctor signature and we were gone.

The moral of this story is: IF YOU ARE QUIET, YOU GET NOTHING. CAUSE THEM SOME SLIGHT AGGRIVATION, AND YOU GET SERVICE. If you question my methods, I was in seven different hospitals with him in one year and four of them were one right after another. Houston hospitals and Montgomery County hospitals. I have been in the battlegrounds of hospitals over and over.

I have other methods I used to get what needed to be done in a hospital but I won't go into those. Send me a Freepmail if you want to know. :o)
