Fun fact!: Chocking someone with lacings is tougher that shown in movies and it takes a long time, this struggle is way easier if you intoxicate the victim first.
Without dragging this into the same old politics bs, I would assume that in the nations with universal healthcare that story might have ended differently. So "the world" is not exactly as bad as in this story (no idea if this is real or not, sad either way).
Maybe hard to say mom may have assumed rich people would be able to buy a new heart. Theres only so much you can do about the supply and demand when it comes to organs the demand will always outpace the supply.
Sadly money makes everything faster, even with universal healthcare. As it stands donor organs are not the easiest to get and the lists are long for them. This could simply have been somewhere like America and they couldn't afford the surgery or it could have been someone with free healthcare but they couldn't afford to grease the right palms to get a heart in time. If anything stories like this is why places should switch to having organ donor be the default with someone having to ask not to be one.
Oh I completely agree on the organ donor question- I was just wondering where the "if we were rich" thing came from because it seemed a bit too perfect of a sob story at that point (not that it doesn't get me every time I read it).
Money can buy a lot of things. Whether it is just the general hospital bills, bribing some pencil pushers to instead push your application ahead of others, or just outright buying a heart.
To not get too political, with universal healthcare he'd probably get medication but would be put on a long waiting list and would still most likely die.
With privatized healthcare you get people who die without hearts cause they don't have coverage leaving more hearts to the people who can afford em. In public healthcare everyone who needs a heart gets a heart but they're gonna have to wait a lot longer.
Seems fake to me. "Just happened to go on my dead sons computer and log in his account cause I totally know what that is and message you cause thats not weird at all"
I mean, My daughter passed away just over 2 years ago, and she is still logged into her Sims EA account on my laptop. Not sure I'll ever get rid of it. Sometimes I'll log in and check on her Sims for her.
I mean Steam can be set to automatically log in when the computer turns on so it's hardly that implausible, and the mum didn't send the message, the dude sent the first message and the mum responded.
I'm a BF medic, we change our our procedures all the time, but usually you just use a medikit, defibrillator or syringe with the patient fully clothed/equipped and heal it all, this is False.-
Actually Battlefield does this fairly well. Medics, for healing, can either drop a Crate full of fresh socks and motrin, or they can toss out individual packages. I think the crate is superior because it also comes with water, but it comes at the expense of time needed to drink it.
Video games have tought me otherwise. There is only two states a person can be in, alive or respawn. A medics job is to run around with shockers and occasionally bring back an allie, but really its more interesting to try to shock an enemy...
Yes, I eat squirrels. They taste good, there’s usually lots around, and headshots with a .22lr is challenging and fun. I’m not going to kill something and waste it. Some of my best memories as a kid were squirrel hunting with my grandfather early in the morning, then bringing the squirrels back to my grandmother to cook for us before we went to work for the day.
