so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

When I had a life threatening post operative internal bleed, an ER sent me home three times.
All three times they made it clear my “attitude” wasn’t appreciated.
That I was “wasting their time”.
On the 4th visit they threatened to have security remove me.
My then bf got loud & a doctor noticed.

With Canada's ER problem that is now in the global public eye, we can't afford to be flippant about preventable infectious diseases like COVID & influenza, because they contribute to surging capacity in ER. Airborne mitigations now
I am positive that severe overcrowding was a major factor in delays to care, and that his prolonged waiting did NOT improve anything in this pt's case.
The institutional response will be to try to blame one single HCW for this tragic outcome...
