Whos to say they dont already do this stuff behind the scenes.

This is how I feel like healthcare works in a place like canada.

Your either worth helping, or not, but how does someone determine that. Just by looking and measuring something like blood pressure?

I read about this kid that died waiting for help the other day.

Finlay van der Werken’s life is now a collection of memories closely guarded by his parents. The 16-year-old is remembered as a loving son, a devoted older brother and a loyal friend.

In early February of 2024, a migraine kept Finlay home from school. His mother, Hazel, said this would sometimes happen if Finlay was getting sick. But his condition got worse, and Hazel decided to take him to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.

“He was crying out in pain a lot, and just kind of looking at me, like get me there somewhere,” Hazel said. “You could tell he didn’t know what was going on, but he knew it was not normal, so I drove as fast as I could.

Hazel says he would not see a doctor for hours, despite telling the nurses Finlay was not doing well.

“When I went up at three in the morning, they said, well, we only have one doctor, but there’s another one coming in at four. I don’t know where that one doctor was,” Hazel recalled.

In reviewing the hospital records, Martin and Hillier lawyer, Meghan Walker, said, “Finlay was triaged at almost exactly 10:00. He wasn’t actually seen by a physician until 6:22 in the morning.”

According to the statement of claim about what happened, when he was seen the following morning, the doctor said Finlay “was experiencing sepsis/pneumonia with hypoxia and he was at high risk for acute deterioration.”

His oxygens levels, which the lawyer said hospital records show had been dropping throughout the night, were also a concern.

“I remember just saying to Finlay, like Finlay we’ve got to get, you know, we’re looking at this screen that’s got his oxygen saturation and I’m like, we have to get it up,” Hazel said.

“His breathing was so shallow by this point, and he said, ‘I can’t do deep. It hurts too much,’ and I said, you’ve got to try, you got to try.”

Finlay eventually needed to be intubated. The decision was made to transfer him to SickKids hospital in Toronto. But before that could happen, he went into cardiac arrest. The statement of claim said “the contributing cause of arrest was listed as septic shock, pneumonia.”

Killed by negligence, and im sure the family was likely talked into donating his organs, fuck that. You kill someone you shouldnt be allowed to take shit.

Why was this kid not worthy of the help? I think people would be shocked how many people are actually dropping dead waiting for help, either from something acute like sepsis, or something chronic like cancer. Starting to happen in rural america too. Looks like many hospitals are closing after covid and leaving people to go 50 miles to see a doctor.

At least in america, this family would get a payout.

They wont get nothing here, not even a sorry because if someone said sorry, that would be an admission of guilt.
