Woman Dies in Hospital Waiting Room  

This is so sad and it looked like the guy that walked past at the end did not even notice her there.

hi worldwise1 a big apathy. people at large are not humane any more. and it so happening in any hospital is all the more pathetic.
i think it is common in poorer countries and not so common in advanced countries.
but the life is a life and it has to be protected. people do not realise that if we an not give life we do not have a right to take a life away .
i am sorry for your daughter too.

I thought this story was horrible. To make matters worse, hospital staff tried to lie and cover it up. Simply deplorable. To me that means they were full aware of the situation. I don't understand why they didn't care about this person's life.

That is horrible to watch. I can not believe that that man just walked by her and left her there. I have known for a long time the hospitals were getting bad. You have people who go there for nothing more than a cold because of lack of insurance. I hear that they are cracking down on that though. Not sure if there is any truth to it. I once was in there for several hours waiting on a doctor to see my husband who was having seizures. I looked several times in the hallway and there were nurses and doctors just standing around visiting and laughing. My step dad went for chest pains and had to sit for hours. It is scary to know that some places he could lay in the floor and die.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I remember a discussion a while back about a woman who bled to death in the waiting room. I haven't ever gone to the hospital for myself and my husband is usually throwing up when I take him so they see him pretty quick. Its awful how hospitals allow things like that to happen. It just ain't right.

That is awful. I hope her family sues this hospital for allowing this to happen. Of course I had a uncle awhile back because of the hospital in my town gave him the wrong medication which was awful. My aunt is sueing the hospital here. Which I don't blame her one bit. The hospital in my town is terrible. I go out of town myself whenever I have needed help. Espically after the first time that my body had problems with a medicaition on was on at the time and I couldn't walk. I had to have a wheelchair just to get in. They sent me home and told me that I needed to contact my doctor out of town.

Life is so precious and to lose one is always painful. We have a long way to go before we can adequately take care of everyone and I don't just mean health care but livelihood and housing as well. In many countries the problem is food and we see emaciated faces with distended bellies. What is to be done?

This story hits close to home for me. My husband was just in the ER the other day because he was having a really hard time breathing. With every breath he was taking he felt like his chest was about to cave in. So we took him to the ER. You would think that someone who's having a hard time breathing and who you can hear wheezing for air would get prompt care. NOPE. They made him wait in the waiting rom for almost 2 hours, finally my husband just up and left without even being seen by a doctor.

We did get him looked at by a regular doctor, turns out he's got a severe sinus infection topped off with really bad allergies. The reason he started getting short of breath is there was a high pollen count that day and he'd been running in the park with our son for an hour. Lucky for him it wasn't anything serious or he might have died waiting on just being seen.

OMG that is really hearbreaking.I mean she was really ignored by them.Left there all alone.People walking pass,sitting around just so disturbing.
