Grandma Service Dog Academy ended up in the ER again today and is now in the hospital awaiting the implantation of a pacemaker. I saw again the uncaring attitude of the medical system when a diabetic almost passed out while standing. He was taken to triage and was given juice and crackers but was left alone in the waiting room in a wheelchair he was in to eat it. No sooner did the nurse walk away than literally fell again, this time right out of his wheelchair and people started gasping. As security came over they picked him up off the floor, set him in the wheelchair and he slumped over partially leaning up against the wall. The security started walking away from him and I screamed “You cannot leave that man alone. He cannot be left unattended.” After that didn’t get the reaction it should have I started screaming “Did he hit his head when he fell? Did anyone see him hit his head?” and everyone who had watched him fall, started looking around like they didn’t see anything like they were middle schoolers that weren’t gonna snitch on their friends. When the nurses heard me, ask if he had hit his head when he fell the second time they started running towards him. I turned around to the guy we were sitting by and joking with and said “I’m gonna to use my white lady privilege for something good today. He needs to be monitored.” A couple hours later he was still in the triage testing area being monitored by a nurse. I shudder at the thought that if I had not said anything that guy could have gone into a seizure and a coma all because some healthcare insurance CEO wants another yacht and is systematically dismantling the entire medical system to bleed every dollar out of people as possible.
