Re: Hospital refuses help to dying mother (4.00 / 7)

At some level, when someone starts throwing up blood for example, you leave the relm of this person could be a drug abuser and enter into an unequivical medical emergency. At that point the staff effectively participated in her murder without the shelter of lame excuses.

We are for Justice and Mercy, and Truth and Peace, and true Freedom. Edward Burroughs 1659

Re: Hospital refuses help to dying mother (4.00 / 6)

I dunno. They let Billie Holliday die handcuffed to a gurney. No one seems to care about suffering when it comes to addicts. Now it's not only something that's done, it's actually illegal to alleviate an addict's suffering, even if something else is wrong with them.

That said, I'm not saying this woman was an addict -- it's reprehensible how they treated her. The throwing up blood just goes to show how difficult it is to counter belief with reality.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
