lol totally. I wonder what was wrong with them, while their kid was dying and stuff.

she died later at home, read the fucking article you fucking nigger

If this were in America they wouldn't treat you unless you could pay. So it evens out.
Luke Lopez
That is a classic discrimination case. Good fucking job Dr. Rowe. Should have minored in law or been born Jewish.

In America, those who claim to have trouble breathing go to the front of the line. If you call them on your way, they'll likely even have a nurse waiting for you.
t. took child to ER for breathing trouble last week
Samuel Long
I find it hard to believe that the doctor was just like ehhh no I don't think I'll treat you even though I'm not doing anything else, what's the whole story?
Elijah Richardson
The whole story is socialism kills.
Elijah Campbell
Yea don't be late. It's hard to believe that the mother cared that much if she was late.

An emergency appointment is for when you just need to see your doctor about an issue on the same day. You book it early in the morning and they fill in any free spaces.
If it's an extremely serious problem, ranging from a bad cut to car crash you go to A&E. What happened in this case was:
Mum noticed her child was ill Booked appointment in the morning for later that day, so she could get seen to. She was late, so the doctor told her to fuck off home she wouldn't be diagnosed or looked at Later that night when the child was sleeping she had an Asthma attacked and died.
It wasn't an emergency situation like you'd go to A&E for. By the time it was the kid was already in bed sleeping and nobody knew she was dying.
Jaxson Torres
Nice job your Conservative government is doing to wreck the health system.
Ian Brown
Doctor was an evil cunt and the mother was a stupid cunt.
If your kid can't breathe properly then it's a fucking emergency, go to A&E.
Aaron Bennett
Since when do you get an appointment for the ER?
If it wasn't an ER where the mother had the appointment why didn't she take her daughter to the hosptal?
Something about this story is not making sense.
Juan Foster
There is no such thing as "free" health care

they're so fucking passive. I read the story and look at the picture of the little girl and I'm almost ready to fly over to England and strangle that "doctor" to death with my bare hands.

Women are made doctors through affirmative action, government paid schooling, and kept on through socialism and disgusting beauracracy. Most do less than 5 years before becoming stay at home mom's for 10-20 years leaving their retarded socialized system chronically understaffed.
Ethan Taylor
Absolutely. I don't understand how these cucks fail to go into a justly murderous rage over shit like this. Soulless weak-willed shits.
Isaiah Gutierrez
Britbong here. I have my own NHS story.
>Mum has extreme fatigue, chest pains and constant nausea >Goes on for months >GPs guessing over and over >They try her on all kinds of medications >Constantly adjust her diabetic treatments >They blame everything except her heart >They say it's her mental health meds that are causing it >They take her off it >She relapses back into mental breakdown >She has a cardiac event >Goes to hospital, told her valve is fucked >Gets operation >They refuse to put her back on her mental health meds to cover their mistake >Now she ran away from home, lives alone and is losing her sanity >Every time she gets ill and is bed-ridden I have to call her doctor to fight with their receptionist who refuses to send a nurse/doctor >''Your mum is only 56! She's young enough to walk 0.5 miles herself!''
I fucking hate our healthcare so fucking much.
Christopher Bell

Ian Phillips
She looks pretty sharp in the picture from the article. A suspension was a fair punishment. Don't be late to your emergency visit.
Yeah, because when you or your loved one is on the brink of death everything has to be neat and organized with no panicking and nothing to cause delays in-between. Give me a fucking break.
Medical emergencies catch everyone off guard. The girls family were probably trying to get their shit together, they were only 4 minutes late, fucking 320 seconds.
Henry Garcia
step one get the person who's dying in the car step two drive to the hospital
Yea you're right, they probably scheduled the appointment for 3 minutes from when it was made and they had to stop to get mcdonalds or take a piss or something.
Jace Sanders
>Honey I can't find her inhaler >Ellie can't breathe without it >We can't go without it what if it gets worse in the car >Can't find keys etc >What is traffic? >What is distance from house to hospital?

>Any breathing issues >Not an emergency I had asthma as a kid. One time it flared up pretty bad and my mom called the family doctor. She said skip the appointment and go to the ER now. I could still breathe with difficulty, but the ER staff jumped like they were in fire and rushed us back to a room once they heard "breathing issues". In 5 min I was treated and good to go. Granted, we had to wait like 45 min for the paperwork, but they were damn fast about it.
Britbongs pls
Bentley Adams
literally no. they treat you first and you figure out payment options later. lots of those payment options have extremely generous financing arrangements, too.
Joshua Foster
>calling your walkin or urgent care service "emergency appointments"
Nathaniel Mitchell
So what happens if you refuse to give your name, address etc to the hospital staff, how will they ever chase you for debt collection?
Justin Reed
they don't you fucking retard, the bongs already explained that urgent care is called "accident and emergency" or "A&E" over there.
emergency appointments are same day appointments.
Chase Sanders
you're nuts, that girl is white as it gets.
Christian Gonzalez
You need to sign off paperwork before they let you leave. Runners have to outrun orderlies, guards, and cops, so good luck. But why would you run? Insurance will cover most things, and hospitals have pay plans and special programs if you can pay right away or don't have insurance.
Isaiah Long
>if you can pay right away can't*
Luis Garcia
>liberals and foreigners actually believe this
Even if you have the flu if its not crowded you can walk into the ER and spend less than 30 minutes in triage and not have to pay much, if at all.
Brayden Anderson
>Be basement dwelling NEET >No job, no income >Exempt from taxes and provincial healthcare fees due to "low income bracket" >Go to emergency room the other day due to abdominal pain >See triage nurse almost immediately >Have blood and urine tests done within an hour >Within second hour have x-rays done >20 minutes worth of thorough ultrasound examination shortly after that >Wait for like an hour >Doctor arrives, discusses symptoms and test results >I have gallstones >Surgery booked in a couple weeks >Hospital visit went really well, I was home in less than 4 hours >All of this, literally free of charge
Was Sup Forums wrong about socialism?
btw both the x-ray tech and the phlebotomist were female Muslims wearing hijabs and they were professional and polite
Jaxson Murphy

That's where you're wrong, kiddo. The taxpayers had to foot the bill you fucking parasite.
Adam Richardson
>Surgery booked in a couple weeks In America you could have had that surgery in a couple of hours instead of weeks
>All of this, literally free of charge For you. Everybody else in your country had to pay for your lazy ass.
Christian White
Sounds like an extreme waste of resources. That being said I honestly believe suicide booths or something should be available after a layer of work programs.
Jason Johnson
Do you actually live in America? I bring cash with me to the doctor's every time I go, but the receptionist almost never even takes it. They just say, "We'll bill you," even if I wave the money in their face.
Eli Rodriguez
Britcucks and Canadians are pathetic. If you criticize the public healthcare system you are branded as a neo-nazi who doesn't care for the poor.
Nicholas Cook
Only because you had abdominal pain. Good luck getting treated if you have less obvious symptoms like fatigue.

Why the fuck did this cunt give her kid asthma then?
Landon Williams
ER nurse here. Can confirm. We follow the ABCs priority order. Airway is always number 1 priority, then breathing probs, then cardiac probs. If youre brought in by ambulance youll be seen immadiatly by the physician and rest of staff. The ER is usually filled with people who come in for useless stuff like headaches and stomach aches, they are usually the mentally ill. Last week i had someone who had been to the ER over 900 times in less than 5 years. Just looking up the pt. Info on them crashed the computer. Thats over 10 million in medicare costs.
Cooper Cook
This can't be real right? Bongland can't be this fucked up. Anyway, even though I can't say that this has nothing to do with free healthcare, it sure as hell doesn't have to be this way. In Germany you can literally just walk in on any doctor and he HAS to treat you no matter what. If you're sick you get treatment. Although hospitals ARE fucked up in that you sometimes have to wait a real long time. Of course you can always just call 112 and call an ambulance.
Benjamin Flores
Diddling the nurses.
He was referring to the doctor. Read the damn post you dumb leaf.

Briton had over 1,500 children systemically raped in a single city. The officials covered it up, allowed it to happen, and threatened / arrested parents to shut it down. The people responsible are walking around, living their lives, no security, no fear, as calm as Hindu cows... do you know why? BE EUROPEANS DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THEIR FUCKING CHILDREN! This "mother" is probably just bitching about her dead kid for jewbook likes.
Not a single retaliation was conducted for Rotterdamn. Not a murder. Not a fist-fight. No one even threw a fucking water balloon. The best thing that can happen to Europeans is that they finally end, once and for all, hopefully this century. Despicable people.

Carson Lewis

Luis Cox
Medic here:
NHS is full to bursting with superfluous staff members who achieve nothing - There is no true nursing shortage, only a lack of nurses and healthcare assistants willing to knuckle down and do some work. Standard of care is actually reasonably good from the medical/surgical side.
The NHS is first and foremost a jobs program for grossly overweight middle aged women - it provides healthcare as a distant second
