/----/ Hey Libtards - here's your Eurostyle Gubmint heathcare you always demand. Maybe you don't care if your parent gets a cancer diagnosis in a public area by the fire escape and is denied pain meds, but normal people do.One needs to only observe Canada and the UK to learn what government run healthcare is about.
Neglected Parkinson's patient, 73, calls 999 for help... from his own hospital bed after being denied painkillers because he was 'not a priority'
The 73-year-old was denied pain relief because of staff shortages and even left lying in his own urine during his horrifying eight-month stay in hospital, he claimed. Other patients nearby were also shouting and screaming for help.
At one point Mr Wild, who also has Parkinson's, told his wife: 'If I am going to die in this hospital, let it be soon.'
A doctor who assessed Mr Wild described him as being 'the most neglected patient I have ever seen'.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) declared a state of "national emergency" on the NHS over spike in "completely inappropriate" patient care.
It revealed patients are being left without access to oxygen and enduring intimate examinations in inappropriate crowded areas.
Some are regularly treated on chairs in corridors for extended periods of time, sometimes days, the RCN revealed.
A survey of almost 11,000 frontline nursing staff across the UK shows the practice has become widespread, the union said. (Remember, libtards love unions.)
When asked about their most recent shift, almost two in five reported delivering care in an inappropriate area, such as a corridor.
And almost seven in 10 said the care they delivered in public compromised patient privacy and dignity.
The RCN is now calling for mandatory reporting of patients cared for in corridors, to show the extent of hospital overcrowding.
With the union's annual conference in Newport, South Wales, kicking off, acting general secretary Professor Nicola Ranger will use her keynote speech to declare a national emergency over the survey's findings.
Prof Ranger will tell the 3,000 conference delegates that the situation is a "tragedy" for the nursing profession.
"Our once world-leading services are treating patients in car parks and store cupboards.
"The elderly are languishing on chairs for hours on end and patients are dying in corridors.
"The horror of this situation cannot be understated. It is a national emergency for patient safety and today we are raising the alarm.
"This is about honesty and accountability. Care being delivered in front of a fire exit isn't care. Signing 'Do not resuscitate' orders in a corridor isn't care.
