How can I get a life threatening disease in which I have to be hospitalized?
So, getting a disease in which will kill you from the inside is better than ending your life quickly? If you really think this then you need more help than just someone who's suicidal, Talk to someone. This isn't healthy.
Have you ever been in a life threatening situation?
Hi, yes I've been in a life threatening situation. When I was in seventh grade I was hit by a car and became unconscious. However, everyday when a person goes to sleep they are 60% dead, and there is a chance they won't wake up the next morning. But to look on the bright side every day is a fresh new day, to change and grow to become a better person.
Waiting at an ER, who should get seen first?
Well the system is screwed as of now. Did you see the news about the woman dying in the ER? Makes you wonder who the hell is in charge of hospitals! You figure that if things are these bad they should hire more trained people. Maybe it is time for the government to help with hospitals (Not doctors, most of them are filthy rich). In any case, more important cases goes first. That is why I try to evaluate hospitals near my work and residence. So I go to the good ones where you get attended more decently than the ones that get crowded with people. The idea of first come first served is ludicrous though. It is against medical, professional, and human ethics. Lets switch the tables around. If you were a homeless man, would it be more important the smashed thumb of a kid or your life? Would it matter if you are homeless? If you had shortness of breath and possibly be dead in a few minutes due to the illness rather than what you see, would you be letting the kid with a smashed thumb go ahead? Without air, you will be dead in a couple of minutes compared to the thumb smashed. Even if you take into account gangrene, it will take more times for you to die than the others if they happen to have a serious illness. But as I said, it all comes down to the quality of the people in the ER and the hospital. You go to the ER in the slums and you will die just like the woman who waited for hours on end even when she dropped into the floor and layed there dying for hours. I think we need to address our medical issues and help our people in need.
