Woman dies in ER

Seriously what has the world come to?

Health care costs and overcrowded hospitals are one thing. Letting someone die face down in the Emergency Room alone in over an hour after a 24hour wait is insane.

While that poor woman toppled from her seat and lay unconscious with her face on the floor not one of the patients sitting a few feet from her felt compelled to raise an alarm. They left her laying there until she died.

If you've seen the shocking footage you probably thought you were in the wrong movie after all. You see a guard rolling past in an office chair as he checked out the body laying there and without even getting up to check what was wrong he rolled past the room.

I am normally not one to wish harm on others but I really hope that wicked bad karma befalls all of the horrible people watching on as someone amongst them died without summoning help.

Health care should be a right not a privilege!

I saw it too. SO SAD. I just have to wonder what was going on in the minds of the people who looked at her and walked away!

I just don't what's wrong with people today. That was some heartbreaking footage to watch.

I'm not waiting for karma, I'd like to flog those people until they drop for their shameful behavior.
