i had an accident. i was sent to NUH. pretty prompt medical attention though. i went in at around 10:20AM, and by 11:45AM i was out of NUH :bsmilie:
from what i know, many patients tend to exaggerate the severity of the situation, being a person that's been in-and-out of hospitals more than 10 times in my whole life :bsmilie:
you'll hear stories that this happened, that happened, and patients with only minor cuts make it seem as if they would die the next moment if a band-aid wasn't placed over the boo-boo.
i would agree with Shizuma and hanzohattori.
in the past, when people suffered and wanted to die, they could. just because medical care hadn't reached the advancements of today. however, with today's technology, even if you wanted to die, you couldn't.
but people tend to expect that Doctors and Nurses can DEFINITELY do something about it, i.e. cure all illnesses. but sorry, they're not God.
i would say that this culture of entitlement is very wrong. we live in a privileged society now, not one built on entitlements. we're privileged to have what we have, but a lot of people out there thinks that the entire world revolves around them.
and this culture of suing people because they didn't do what you expected/did the right thing but something bad happened? please... that's so passe. and i would blame the Americans for that. their Freedom Amendments? rubbish. it allows their people to run amok and do what they want to do.

This may be just greed, but it shows how selfish humans have become in the past 3 decades.
