My apologies if this has been diaried, but a search came up blank. I feel ill. I'm shaking. This is what health care has come to in our country? Dear god...
From CNN's headlines
Esmin Green, 49, had been waiting in the emergency room for nearly 24 hours when she toppled from her seat at 5:32 a.m. on June 19, falling face down on the floor...
surveillance footage showing a woman falling from her chair, writhing on the floor and dying as workers failed to help for more than an hour...
Security guards and a member of the hospital's staff appeared to notice her prone body at least three times, but made no visible attempt to see if she needed help.
This woman was mentally ill. She needed help desperately. She was in a HOSPITAL for god sake!
I'm sorry this isn't much of a diary, but I'm sitting at my desk at work trying very hard not to cry from the rage I feel. I am truly ashamed of my country.
