The government and union employees who are currently pushing really, really hard for ObamaCare might want to read this story from Britain.
A young woman died in hospital after waiting almost two hours for a blood transfusion that could have saved her.
Sally Thompson, 20, bled to death after a doctor accidentally punctured her jugular vein during a bungled procedure.
Despite an urgent request to the blood bank at Manchester Royal Infirmary, she died one hour and 45 minutes later, before any arrived.
Speaking after her inquest, her father John, 62, said she would still be alive if the blood had been available sooner.
The retired farmer said: ‘This hospital is supposed to be the cornerstone of the NHS in Manchester, but they couldn’t get any blood for two hours.
‘We have never had any answers about why it took so long. I feel very let down by the hospital.’
Here’s the thing, Ms. Thompson happened to work for the local council – she was a government employee. This is the care she got. Food for thought.
My very sincere condolences to the Thompson family over this horrible loss.
