Thread: E.R. NIGHTMARE.

[quote="SOSADFORUS"]And they wonder why we are fed up and sick of illegal immigrants and want them out of our country.

Any OBL's or pro immigrant rights groups who read these very sad story's, and you can bet there are millions of them accross this country, would call you racist, bigots, Zeno's and anything else thay can think of because as far as they are concerned Americans have no right to complain, we are suppose to sit back and watch our country be over run with illegals.[

and!!! pay for all our invaders expenses!!

He couldn't possibly be a good old red-blooded, tax-paying American citizen!

Disgusting.

I am Native American and I am mistaken for Spanish all the time. Once in the hospital, I was asked if I spoke English. I also get a lot of evil looks and lots of remarks and treated harshly. I understand and I seldom say anything. Sometime we have a good laugh about it.

This isn't right Dyehard39. Especially considering who YOU are and what you fight for. Unfortunately, there's plenty of white trash in this country. I wish I could do something about it.

My husband said they HAD to respond to these asinine calls. They had no choice.

Illegals are using paramedics as their home-visit doctors. They know they have to respond. They also know they don't have to pay for the paramedics call. They just ignore the bill. They don't have a valid SS# for hospitals to report delinquent payments, so they get off scot-free.

But us US citizens, with valid SS #s, have to deal with paying for paramedics' responding (aside from paying taxes for 911 on our phone bills). If we don't pay, it goes to collection, ruining our credit.

So, from this day forward, I AM NEVER GOING TO GIVE THEM MY SS#. I WILL FAKE BEING AN ILLEGAL. Might as well use the system that is against us. Maybe with more unpaid bills, the govt will FINALLY LISTEN.

Same thing in Albuquerque. An EMT friend said they use the paramedics like a personal physician making a house call and lie to dispatch to get them there ahead of other calls. Nobody ever speaks English and he said there's usually 10-15 in a trailer or small house. When they call 911 they get a Spanish speaker but most EMT's don't hable so it's not an easy job.
He said their favorite is to say baby isn't breathing but when they get there, baby has a cold. What a waste. They abuse the paramedics when they don't want to go to the E.R. or the car is broken down. Pitiful.

It really P>O me to see them take advantage of hospital, ER, Paramedics... My children have no insurance.. Last week my son came home from school. With severe stomache pains. We rushed him to ER.

They thought it was (one second thinkin of the name) Appendicitis. After further testing they believe he has pockets that hold infection in, on his colon/intestine. Anyway we took him to the family doctor the next day. Which the doctor tried to set up a appointment with a specialist. Which he was denied due to lack of insurance.

The next day the family doc called us and told us he got us in somewhere. However he cant get in to them until Novemver 15TH. To set up for a lower gi test.

We will then set up payment arrangements.....As we shall with the ER/hospital for his visit there.

So it just infurates me to no end.

After reading the comments on this thread, I had to calm down prior to posting. My blood is boiling! Legal American citizens can't receive medical treatment, while illegals not only receive emergency treatment, but also specialized care.

A friend who works in an oncology department of a DC hospital said they routinely provide "free" cancer screening and treatment for illegals. How many legal Americans are in dire need of specialized medical treatment but don't receive it due to a lack of insurance or inability to pay?

I am reminded of the Mexican girl a few years ago at Duke Univ. Hospital. She received two heart/lung transplants although they knew she was an illegal alien. Services were rendered free of charge. Unfortunately, her body rejected both procedures. Four legal citizens may have lived had they received the two hearts and two lungs given to her.

While I certainly have compassion for her, legal citizens should have priority over illegals for organ transplants. Many, including the sister of a friend, have died while on the waiting list for an organ. This is wrong.

I was there for 12 hours in severe pain from the swelling . I never knew a sprain could hurt so bad .

I was so mad because most were not emergency.

Be sure when you go to any doctor to make sure they wash their hands before they touch you , because they can spread anything from staph to flesh eating deseases just touching you after touching someone who has some of these very contagious desease's.

You are so right NoAmnasty-I went in for a sprained ankle 2 years ago-the doctor told me to sit in the chair in the office-when I finally got called-I said NO.The doctorlooked peeved off and asked why-thats when I pointed at the BLOOD COVERED CHAIR and said "You sit in someone elses blood"
She sprayed the chair w/ cleanser and BAREHANDED WIPED IT CLEAN WITH A PAPER TOWEL.

To add to everyones stories of having your name mispronounced-mines Italian and I'm constantly dealing with the "Latinization" of my name.

Rawhide!

Y'alls stories made me remember something,about a year ago my Dad was put in Inova Fairfax here in northern Va. I visited him every 2-3 days,had to cut through the women and childrens part to get to his room-out of the few months that I did this I ran across 2- count 'em 2-American couples having a baby there.
EVERYONE else was non-English speaking,most were Latino with a few that I couldn't even guess the language they were speaking.Just about every one was NOT a first timer-one couple had few the oldest kid maybe 3.
Ahh,our tax dollars hard at work.

Rawhide!
