           "The women who died in the waiting room" written by Jeneen Interlandi, talks about a 49-year-old wome, who passed away in a waiting room of a brooklyn hospital. She fell out of her chair and was struggling between two chairs for 20 minutes, while nurses and security cameras failed to help her. After 40 minuties, a nurse went to check up on her, but by that time the helpless woman woman passed away. "Public hospitals across the country have struggled to provide acute psychiatic care to the poor and uninsured", I completely agree with the author's statement.
            Sometimes it makes me wonder why people especially highly educated people fail to understand the meaning of the word "emergency". One reason why i agree with the authoers statement is because last summer I had to make a trip to the emergency room in my neighborhood. My younger cousin fell off his bike and got a pretty deep cut on his forehead. I somehow managed to stop the bleeding, but we all know how kids react, when they get injured. I rushed him to the emergency room and was waiting there for good 3 hours to be seen by a nurse. Finally, one nurse came give him stiches. I am aware of the fact that our economical condition isnt that stable now, but we cannot compromise people's health.
           Many people cannot afford medical insurance, therefore they cant make regular visits to the doctors. Even though their illness can be cured with just regular medication, they happen to make more visits to emergency. After spending so much moeny for the medication, along with the hospital bill, I really dont think the service is worth it. I always see nurses mostly taking their time and doing their own things. The question I ask is how long does it take to just devote little of your time to check a needy patient? If you have a chance to cure someone that why not?
           Many questions will rise and many comemnts will be make because heakth is our first concern.
