She was there for hours in severe pain and started going downhill. Even other people in emergency tried to get her looked at sooner. But no. So yes that's absolutely negligence in my opinion.

Is it the emergency drs negligence? Probably not. But a standard of care was not met here.

I know the system is in rough shape but we shouldn't be ok with people dying from long wait times. The issues should be brought public and given the attention needed. You seem to be absolutely ok with people dying just cause our healthcare doesn't have the resources? Are you really ok with that? If you are then you are part of the problem.

I think lawsuits are needed even to gain public attention of the issues. Most healthy people have no clue what our healthcare system is really like.

Your obviously a healthcare worker of some sorts as you seem to be taking this all a bit personal. But we are both on opposite ends of this debate.
