An elderly Puerto Rican/New York Rican woman came into the ER tonight by ambulance with no family.  She had a sudden onset of weakness.  Paramedics said the family was in a giant shouting argument about who should go to the ER with her since no one wanted to go.  Apparently everyone won, because no one came.  Sitting alone for a couple hours with no family to keep you company.    

She died 2 hours later.  

Don't ever fuck your mother over for Turkey.

No idea.  She was in a different section of the ER than I was working.

At least she spent her final hours actually surrounded by people who cared about her.

Low regard for human life seems to be becoming a more prevalent mentality.

I was going to say the same thing. Maybe there's a reason not one person in the family came with her?

My father in law would "forget" his insulin on holidays. Like clockwork. The last time I was around for it, my (now ex) wife followed the ambulance to the ER, saw that he was attended to, and left. He was shocked and pissed off at her "neglecting" him; she pointed out that if he was capable enough to choose not to take his insulin, he could deal with his own emergency care.

Keep in mind this was probably the third time she had gone to the hospital with him, and she's one of 5 children plus his wife. One day I jokingly wondered if one day his wife would find him passed out and simply not call the ambulance. My sisters in law replied "We're surprised it hasn't happened already."

They're right up there the f*ckers who treat the ER like a kennel for their elderly/demented relatives.  

They drop off grandma at the ER right before thanksgiving/christmas and promptly leave-town/disappear.  No phone number, no way to contact them, and you can't send grandma home even if there is nothing wrong with them.  

Happens every year.

We had one years ago that was having a no-shit MI and the family called all of the cousins BEFORE  calling for an ambulance. .....  then screamed at the EMTs for "Taking so Long"..... Abuela lived, but it was a close one
