That's just sad

This is interesting

happens more often than people think.

Real talk, would the doctor face any sort of charges from this?

*inhales*
OH NO NO NO

>she will never be able to grow up and get shot now
F

>inhales
That's where you're wrong, kiddo

It's pretty rare for a doctor to take responsibility for his actions.

This is the price of freedom. Forcing a doctor to treat a patient against their will is literally socialist communism.

>be Yuropoor
>have kid with asthma
>go to NHS hospital
>wait in line three weeks behind hundreds of Pakis and Syrians
>kid dies

a girl will never know the joy of getting shot in school when she grows up now
RIP

The doctor would sue that kid's family over difamation

Its really not a meme, I almost cut my finger off doing some work at home with no insurance. The hospital only stitched it up and gave me some shots and one oxy and charged me like $4,000. Now I cant afford to have the tendon and ligament fixed and have maybe 20% use in the finger but now my grip strength is gone.

It doesn't even sound like an American problem, just a problem with the staff itself.
You're joking right? I make that much in 6 months

In the Netherlands your total medical expenses cannot exceed 385 euros a year.
We also have mandatory private insurances, but instead of having a maximum budget you only pay the initial amount.

No

>In the Netherlands your total medical expenses cannot exceed 385 euros a year.

That'll be $10k, plus tip

No. I also drove myself to the hospital because an ambulance ride without insurance is a fucking massive charge.

He can be charged with manslaughter.
If he'll be convicted is unlikely however.

Shit sounds like those ancap memes

It's a felony to turn away a patient who has life-threatening symptoms. Regardless of the conditions.

Only reason it's unlikely that he'll be convicted is because he likely didn't notice it, or the nurse was plain incompetent.

All medical expenses are covered by your insurance, but the first 385 euros you spend are considered your "own risk".

That’s not what you claimed.

I thought you Dutch had great english. Guess not.

I hope you are voting Bernie in 2020.

>dutch having great anything

I usually just pay the pizza delivery guy to stitch up my wounds.

>go to hand specialist pay $280 just for looking at the hand, no xrays, just for him to touch it.
>get told nerve damage, chipped bone, torn ligament and tendon.
>ask why my gf is crying, tell him I dont have insurance.
>"ill just use something to numb your hand, you just have to make sure not to look why i do the surgery instead of anesthesia

>It's a felony to turn away a patient who has life-threatening symptoms. Regardless of the conditions.
This reminded me. Isn't it against doctor ethics to turn patients away, no matter the context?

I really don't get American conservatives, it's like they unironically take pleasure in being cruel and spiteful.

They're old, that's pretty much the only joy they can get out of life by that point.

No joke but there is a certain element within the religious right that believes misfortune and poverty are an expression of God's resentment against you while their elevated position is an expression of God's favor.

It really is. America is a mixed bag, honestly. it's possible to get a lot of wealth and land if you're lucky but at the same time we have a fanatical anti-communist population that gets duped time and time again into voting for policies that harm them.

The logic behind this is that we embraced our roles as workers because of our religious faith and because of corporate propaganda. As a whole, people will go after what they perceive their self-interest to be. For Americans, this is "don't be a leech and work your butt off an you'll get rich/go to heaven." But Euros realize that they instead can just go and demand that the business owners give them shit and create a more equal society. And so far, the Euro method is the one that's working. If America's poor decide to start accepting "free shit" and demanding more, then they'll do much better.

This wouldn't have happened if she was armed

made me kek, fag.

Looked up the story.
"Malpas area of Newport"
This was in Wales.

Phew. That's a relief. It was just a Brit.

he'll made you dead hombre

I'm sorry you have issues with your father, user, and I sincerely hope you can work things out with him.

yeah I thought gp sounded too familiar to be used in the us

Gp is used her meaning general practitioner

Yes. But in time you learn than doctors have no ethics at all.

Here GP's are free and everyone has one as a family doctor.
And there is an emergency GP center in case yours isn't on duty. Like if you need to see one during the evening for example.

Holy fuck

nice clickbait

Not to put the blaim on you but why don't you have an insurance? Even if you don't work, are insurances that expensive in the US?

I think people just skip on insurances because they can. It's an easy way to save money. And nothing ever happens to anybody anyway.

Yes. It was enough where I would just have to risk the no insurance and hope I didnt get cancer.

is it because of the relatively low population in Netherlands? Here it's relatively hard to find a GP to take you within a week, even in Paris.

Underrated

that's because poor fags with a bunch of problems are the most active posters on Sup Forums. lots of yous though

We're basically one big city. So maybe it's the benefit of everything being nearby.

if you are employed why would you skip on insurance. it is not that expensive and why take the risk.

My relationship with my folks is great actually, but I can't say the same for boomers. They have contempt for younger people because they see them as lazy and fail to understand that the world that currently exists is not only different than the world they inhabited at the same age, but a world that's worse off directly through their actions. The world will be better off when the last boomer croaks.

Wow that really sucks.

It is expensive, although it can change on the area you live.

The biggest mistake Americans have made is to raise the cost of the hospital too much. Fuck, it's not covered by insurance. What kind of crazy guy did this?

hospistals are as expensive in Europe than they are in the US

I think the problem probably lies a lot earlier in the process. Maybe you shouldn't send your doctors into debt as they go to uni.
If education was cheaper you'd have more doctors and they wouldn't (initially) have to charge everyone out of their asses to pay off their debts (and keep charging it afterwards).

This happened in the UK though, specifically Wales.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-43196732

We capped our prices for each action during a procedure.
The insurance companies are more powerful than the health care sector lol.

Jews gotta jew.

>not covered by insurance
what? are you a literal kid?

Can a doctor be sued if they are unavailable to help someone?

I guarantee you, nobody in this thread will even care to read that, because the tone has already been set

A better solution would be to encourage Nurse Practitioners as the norm.

ITT: Why can't I force the American taxpayer to pay for my gender reassignment surgery? So unfair.

I think you just found the cure to asthma.

>Its great living in the most free cunt in the world, so free I can die if I can't afford my treatment!

Not OP, but if a guy thinks he's a woman and if it makes him happy living as one, who are you to deny him that happiness? It even said in the Declaration of Independence that "Man is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Which is weird because I thought the OP was sarcastic, apparently not.

It doesn't say women are entitled to it though.

That's the thing with this flag. You can find random news, and make a "be american thread" and shitposting immediately ensues and after a few posts nobody remembers what the OP was about.
Here is a good example:

Dont trust doctors here. My mother was feeling extremely sick last month due to the flu and internal bleeding. She went to the hospital twice, the first time she was given pills. Flu was gone but she still felt terrible. Few days later on the second visit they had to do a blood transfusion and they sent her home the next morning. She was able to walk around for once, but after a week she was just as bad. My dad was always irritated that they wouldnt explain the issue and hardly helped her, so he flew her to Mexico in a days notice and that night they were preparing her for surgery while giving her blood. Had her uterus removed and I believe they said they found some tumor-like things on it (Ive hardly had time to speak to her so Im not entirely sure what the issue was), but my dad says the doctor was pretty fucking surprised the Doctors here didnt notice something that serious.

maybe he's a poorfag
But those surely don't exist in murrika

this

THIS

MAGA

>the pursuit of happiness
is not the same thing as
>you have the right to be happy
you fucking dumbshit

irrelevant. he said hospitals are not covered by insurance. that's just stupid. as for poor fags, they sure exist. Sup Forums is full of them. almost everything posted about this country on Sup Forums reflects a poor fag's point of view.

Thats the case everywhere on earth desu. As a patient you have to do your own research and push the doctors around otherwise they wont do proper research and just file you away as a another case of [random innocent problem].

You have to do a scientific education to become a doctor. But there is nothing scientific about how they treat their patients. Nurses arent allowed to diagnose but they often have a sharper eye for it than doctors. Because they spend more time with patients.

Why do conservatives hate trans people so much?

Because Mexican healthcare is free and one of the best in Latin America. Lots of gringos travel there for health care. Their doctors are well trained since their medical education is top notch. Also there are literally no wait times in Mexico and medications are almost free.

I immediately knew it was America. That shit doesn't happen anywhere else in the world.

>Also there are literally no wait times in Mexico and medications are almost free.
user, i...

...

Kek

And people still have the nerve to complain and bitch here.
If these retards only knew what it's like in the U.S. of Mutt then they wouldn't threaten to report you because they had to wait a whole 1 more hour for their FREE FUCKING SURGERY.
t. med student

They just don't care. Here in the United States, we have a really strong "every man for himself" attitude. That's why we love small business; we love the stories about people succeeding by themselves without any extra input. That mentality had leaked into our politics, and now we have millions of Americans who just don't care about each other.

I've never objected to helping deserving people. Problem is, SJWs' idea of "deserving" people is a bit different from yours and mine.

They probably know, since most Mexicans are absolutely horrified about life conditions in America. No healthcare, no education, criminals, cops murder people and ambulances don't take them. Poor people just die in America and nobody gives a shit. That doesn't happen as much even in Latin America. You guys in Mexico are on the right track.

shit dude

vaguely reminds me of a cuban guy who lived next door when i was a kid who only had 3 fingers left and one of them had a toe grafted on at a weird angle

What's in that link? She is clearly an amerimutt. Are there even white people in America?

how...?

maybe in minnesota or wisconsin

If that's true, why do millions of the buggers keep trying to move here? :^)

burgers moving where? to mexico? you are confusing me!

...

Ah shit buggers not burgers. Because of your propaganda obviously. TV, music, the Simpsons. You convince them you are a paradise

The government owes you the protection of the law and a basic social safety net. That's it.
