Ya, I just watched that today, and it is completely ridiculous. There is no reason that someone should be waiting in the emergency room for an entire hour without any sort of treatment.

Well some hospitals are like, that almost the same thing happened to my Grandfather in january, he was lying on the table in the ER the **** doctors didn't want to do anything, and he died withing 20 mins from internal bleeding and they billed us 40.000 for **** they never even did...*****.

St00f Happens. The docters dont care if she died. The doctors get paid a hell of alot of money to do nothing, theyd get paid less if they did anything at all. :shock:

Its LA....Hospital staff should be purged and new doctors brought in.

only way you can get treated in the hospital is to call 911 and actually have an ambulance pick him or her up. driving there does nothing.

Still that shows that many doctor's don't do anything and still get payed, I think hospitals need to start having better policies.

Afraid it's you, link works.

Don't you have to pay for hospital treatment in the US? That shouldn't be happening if there charging you.

Here the NHS hospitals are kinda crappy but yeah..nothng like that happens + you cango to a private hospital if you're willing to pay.

that is really messed up...Hospitals need to adopt new policies. Docters don't even care about thier patients and it's not right! They figure that the longer they keep you there the more money they get. And if you die there, it's just more cash for them that didn't really earn.

You may as well learn how to perform surgery yourself... At least you'd get some form of medical treatment right away...

Sometimes it isn't the doctor's fualt and some doctors do care. Some hospitals just happen to have too many patients and not enough doctors. But that's the problem. Most doctors don't seem to care. The patient should always be the number one priority. It would probably help if more people went to medical school too.

Yeah, they still keep billing us and we don't send em no money...They didn't earn it.
