Police say 63-year-old Joaquin Rivera spent nearly 80 minutes waiting in an emergency room after complaining of pain down his side. But they say he died of an apparent heart attack at Aria Health's Frankford Campus before seeing a triage nurse.
Surveillance video shows three people talking with Rivera before he passed out and then taking his wristwatch.
The whole story is here - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34227560/ns/health-more_health_news/
I figure there is a special place in hell for people like this.

Sometimes I wish that hell was like as it was written about in Dante's Inferno. I think there was a place where the people were eaten alive, but not sure since it has been a while since I read it. Then there was the one where the people were emerged in some boiling liquid. Anyway 60 minutes is not that long to wait, but then if Senor Rivera needed help and was having a massive heart attack, there should have been a nurse or orderly watching.
After all he should have been seen to first instead of having to wait for an hour.

I heard about this story and its really disgusting that someone would rob him like that. I don't understand why he had to wait to be seen by a doctor. Once you are complaining of pain down his side you would think the staff would take him right away. This is a very sad story and I hope karma comes back to the person who stole the watch and gets him real good.
