Baylor killed my father on the final day that his Medicare was going to run out. All this time I thought I should have sued the pants off them for doing so. I wanted to throttle the witch that ran the panel that decided it was time although he showed a marked improvement and his neurologist did not want him moved to palliative care.
Last year I was in an accident with a subdural and subarachnoid hematoma and two brain bleeds. The usual procedure for such things were not followed. Instead of relieving the pressure to my brain, they let my lie there in ICU. They moved me into palliative care after a few days and were shocked that I got better on my own. I did not have insurance. I have since heard a bazillion times from various doctors that it is an absolute miracle that I not only survived, but am not completely disabled. I was given excuses for the reason they did not treat the subdural hematoma such as the hospital was infected with a flesh-eating bacteria that they were afraid would get into my brain if they performed surgery, From reading this article, I think the decision is apparent. “No insurance? Let her die as opposed to spending money in an attempt to save her life. I now see that getting insurance if living in Texas is a necessity.
Sounds like you’re creating Texazuela down there! Everyone speaks Spanish in Texas so the “transition” should go without a hitch. With the unfunded public debt, they are trying to find any way they can to cut costs, even if that means dying a “little early!”
