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. |

I would get fired if I was the one that had to inform the family of her passing. RIP.

trash never cares about family, because they breed like chickens and have no attachment.

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

That tops my heroin OD at Grandma's this afternoon.
Edit: Not mine, but a patient on the Medic unit today.... |

Low regard for human life seems to be becoming a more prevalent mentality. I'm glad I'm old.

Maybe she was a total bitch. Having worked in senior living, this is also a possibility. I was going to say the same thing. Maybe there's a reason not one person in the family came with her? |

View Quote 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. |

Maybe she was a total bitch. Having worked in senior living, this is also a possibility. 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."

now they can go to the flea-market and get shirts made with her face on it.

That makes one stop and think.
Be prepared for family to sue the hospital. |

I thought my family had some issues but damn some of these stories really take the cake.

The more I observe human nature, the more I appreciate my dog.

View Quote 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 |

But when you notify them they'll flood the ER doing the full-on hallelujah dance and carrying on like they were the most important person on the face of the earth.
