  It happens all the time. You’re thinking of emergency life-saving treatment. They won’t let you bleed out on the hospital steps. But insurance denies necessary care for chronically ill people because it’s deemed unnecessary by them.

  Just one example

  Not on paper, but they absolutely fucking will in person. They’ll tell you your fine, they’ll tell you the wrong thing, and then they put off your appointments and then your dead.

    They have a duty of care. The doctors are not administration. Administration cares about profits. The doctors just get paid regardless.

      ON PAPER They have a duty of care. In real life all they give a shit about is you not dying in front of them. If you’re lucky. Sounds like you are. Maybe in your happy little corner of the fucking world it’s all morphine and triage, but here DOCTORS in the emergency room will only do enough to keep you from dying in front of them. You’ll have a stroke and they won’t do any follow up care and you’ll have another one two weeks later and you’re dead, because the doctors wouldn’t let you make an appointment in time.

      Also they’ll cut off your fucking leg because it’s cheaper than reconstruction, and not just because reconstruction is impossible le.
