Let& #39;s talk reality.

COVID creates this very situation: your closest hospital can& #39;t take more patients so you ambulance to a distant hospital and there you die.

Hurricanes create this very situation: flooding destroys your closest hospital& #39;s emergency generators and... https://twitter.com/slashdot/status/1306595341458837504">https://twitter.com/slashdot/...
Let& #39;s CONTINUE to talk reality.

Black people in general die needlessly in hospital ERs. Here& #39;s CCTV footage of a Black woman who died in ER. She laid dead for HOURS.

A nurse got fired for manipulating her ER records in a coverup. https://youtu.be/MCuNl67Me98 ">https://youtu.be/MCuNl67Me...
Now let& #39;s review the HISTORY of reality.

In WWI, Marie Curie offered to melt her two solid-gold Nobel prizes to fund what the French Minister of War DETESTED -- saving lives & limbs on the battlefield. He relented ONLY to stop her going to the media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1W4MHlEqZE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
And since we talked about France in WWI, let& #39;s recognize the history of this dead patient& #39;s home country: GERMANY

Teutonic hospitals pre-WWII straight up KILLED their own German citizens w/ infirmities, retardation, or born to "Zigeunerin" mothers

And since we& #39;re talking about history, let& #39;s review the horrific U.S. policy of SEGREGATED HOSPITALS

Black patients couldn& #39;t go to the nearest hospital if it was for whites only

In many cases, Black patients went to the BASEMENT for lifesaving help https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/07/30/desegregation-the-hidden-legacy-of-medicare">https://www.usnews.com/news/arti...
Okay, enough history; let& #39;s talk TODAY& #39;S reality

Hospital medical files are RIFE w/ errors

I considered linking to the #anecdote of patients who overdosed on radiation treatment

But instead I chose this #analysis from NIH& #39;s Nat& #39;l Library of Medicine:

Let& #39;s continue to talk about reality.

Racist patients w/ life-threatening issues QUITE OFTEN refuse to visit the nearest hospital, or they leave ER, when they discover their attending physician is a POC or Jew or Muslim or Hindu or... https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-doctors-deal-with-racist-patients-1516633710">https://www.wsj.com/articles/...
Okay, let& #39;s wrap up our #cybersecurity talk on the reality of patients dying NEEDLESSLY in hospitals

If you think today& #39;s hospital #ransomware story is "significant"

Then you MUST answer the question I& #39;ve posed multiple times since #WannaCry& #39;s debut: https://twitter.com/vmyths/status/1260318310744371201">https://twitter.com/vmyths/st...
