The woman who died in the waiting room

The reading The woman who died in the waiting room by jeneen interlandi newsweek,july 12,2008. Is about how a woman was ignored in the waiting room of a brooklyn hospital and died due to bloodclots in her legs. The writer is is trying to state how people across the country who are poor or uninsured are for the most part neglected from proper medical treatment. I agree with the writers statements and facts.


 The writer states how public hospitals across the country have had issues with providing phsyciatric care to poor and uninsured people since the 1960;s. Th is statement makes a lot of sense due to what I see on the streets. I'm always seeing drunk homeless people passed out right on the sidewalk. And it always takes for ever for the ambulance to assist those people. As oppose to a regular person getting better assistance. I always wonder if those homeless people passed out on the street ever get any real treatment when they get to the hospital. If two security guards and staff members ignored Esmin green in the state she was in I guess in a lot fo areas it;s no better for those homeless people.

The author also states that the unfortunate mentally ill should be provided a place in society. I feel the same exact way the writer does. The reading also mentions how the unfortunate mentally ill patience wait twice as long as other patience. In my opinion they should have special hospital that are provided to those who are uninsured or simply people who are just poor. This country puts all its money towards building jails,they should have enough money to make this kind of hospital possible.

Therefore I feel that we are all human. One person shouldn't get treated better because he or she has more money than the other person.
