At least she received "free" health care. /sarc

[TXBlair]

I wonder what they did with the leg. Weird.

Poor girl. Smh…

[JayGalt]

Canada & the UK are so proud of their 3rd world Country level health care systems.

How about the USA, ever wonder what percent of medical professionals secretly harbor hatred for white males because of DEI brainwashing?

Wonder how many angels of death are out there kicking plugs or administering wrong doses who will never get caught

Long pork BBQ.....................

Terrible. I don’t know if it applies here, but I’ve heard Women on birth control pills who smoke have MUCH bigger risk of blood clots as well as strokes, heart problems.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Probably more upset about the tattoons that went with it.

That’s what going to hospital gets you. He should have gone to the hospital.

[Round Earther]

She got off easy.

Hospital stays usually cost an arm and a leg.

I think I know this young woman. She told me this story at IHOP where she was waitressing.
She hopped on a plane, fled England and moved here, the name on her nametag was ‘Peg’.

So many American doctors chopped off the wrong leg that they now have to use a magic marker so they don’t screw up.

I have to wonder if her long wait time at A&E (Brit for Emergency Room) was because of all the ‘newcomers’ clogging the NHS system, or if it was the incompetence of foreign staff NHS seems to be hiring?

Not a Brit, but I tend to keep up with news from the U.K.

her leg had been amputated after she waited 16 hours for surgery

That reminds me of a punchline:

Waiter, this food is terrible, and the portions are too small.

22 and suffering from deep vein thrombosis. I had her pictured as a big fatty who couldn’t get off the couch.

But still, that is usually brought on by long periods of sitting in somewhat cramped conditions. At least thats what I recall.

Noor Qurashi Just noticed the writer’s name.

Probably similar to the names of all NHS's doctors and nurses (and here in the USA as well, if we're honest).

Too bad she didn't realize they were pulling her leg, for real.

[coloradan]

She got 25% off!
