Death after two-hour ER wait ruled homicide

I found it interesting that on the preprinted juror's verdict worksheet the manner of death choices (with one circled) are "homicide", "suicide", "accident" and "undetermined". No "natural causes" or some other similar term is available as a choice.

Having never worked for a medical examiner or served on a jury for an inquest, I have no idea if this is typical.

This is going to happen more and more in the coming years.... until the ptb and the medical establishment get the guts to say "No, Mr./Mrs. Whinybutt. Your sinus infection is NOT an emergency - call your PCP in the morning. Oh, you don't have a PCP? Find one.... in the morning. Good bye."

Also, the rash of Un/under-insured people using the ER as a PCP HAS to stop - like right now!

It is unconscionable that people with emergent conditions like MI, SOB, or even a serious lac requiring sutures have to wait for hours for treatment because our ER's are crammed full of the slightly sick, chronically lame, or the insufferably lazy. Oops! I almost forgot: the severe LBP x 3 months that HAS to have some IV narcs RIGHT NOW!

Gimme a break.

This doesn't surprise me; you should see all the illegals using the ER as their doctors office. This takes time away from patients who have the right to be there in the first place.

Ouch.... everybody has the RIGHT to use the ED when they are sick.
