Best health care system in the world my fuckin ass!

24. Sorry Bud...

..it worked in 2007. I saved my Mother's life too, by taking that one picture. Care couldn't possibly get any worse than it is now. She had just had a fucking giant cath shunt taken from her R top chest that was used for dialysis while in the Hosp. She was being prepped to go home. She was in ICU. I asked the nurses to come and take care of it, because it was bleeding through. That happened three (3) times. It was still bleeding and Mom's blood count was already dangerously low because of her condition. I didn't know what more to do, so I remembered that I had the camera in my bag. I took it out, pointed it toward Mom and clicked. They flew in there in about 10 seconds and didn't say a word to me. They called down to the cath lab and told them they were bringing her back down, and away they went with her. The bleeding was stopped by stitching her up! She had to stay an extra two days to get her blood count back up. They didn't sue me, and I didn't sue them. And Mom lasted 9 more precious wonderful months.

What would you have done? Let your Mom bleed out and die right there in front of you because the staff was incompetent or overworked and because you was afraid to open your mouth in fear of being sued by the hospital? Even had I known that they could have sued me, I would have done the same thing.
