Revision 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 that poor people or people with out insurance are not treated with proper medical treatment.


 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. This 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 hospitals that are provided to those who are uninsured or simply people who are just poor. I dont have medical insurance and i recently got into are car accident I had to wait over night in the hospital until I finally got to see a doctor. Even thought I was bleeding alot and had bruises and cuts all over me. There has to be a better option for people without medical insurance. 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. There should be special medical facilities for people without insurance.
