A man recently died of a heart attack in my local ER’s waiting room 10 minutes after showing up complaining about heart pain. The only reason he died is they didn’t have enough staff on hand. This was a couple of months ago, in the US. A few nurses walked out crying and never came back when it happened. My sister used to work at the hospital as a nurse and she quit because of similar things that were a regular occurrence. It’s all about saving money. “Just In Time” healthcare.
