A Damn Shame

This is so messed up until we have no words. A wheelchair-bound man died from a bladder infection after waiting 34hours in emergency.
Via Aol:
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Sept. 25) — Canadian officials want to know why a wheelchair-bound man waited for 34 hours in a Winnipeg hospital’s emergency waiting room before dying from a bladder infection, according to CBC News and CTV News.
Sinclair’s family has reacted with shock and outrage. “He’s my blood,” his cousin Robert Sinclair told CBC News. “I don’t like to see any of my blood relatives die for no reason and I believe that.… It was for no reason. The guy sat there for 34 hours for what reason?” Get the full story from CBC News.
In June, surveillance footage showed a woman collapsing in a New York hospital waiting room and dying as staffers failed to help for more than an hour. Esmin Green, 49, had been waiting in the emergency room for nearly 24 hours on June 19 when she fell on the floor. Watch video from that incident below.

Mediaoutrage- That’s a shame and criminal charges should be pressed against whoever was responsible.

The hospitals throughout this country need a total overhaul just like Wall Street. This is senseless.
