I have worked/visited hospitals in India; we did not have the private rooms, nor big fire doors. We had wide hallways for ventilation in the heat, large ward rooms with many people in them, etc. Crowded conditions, lots of family, no or few elevators. Winding passageways in some areas, no clear route out.
But lots of people get treated for things they would otherwise die of, or being crippled from; for little or no cost. Without all the drama that we moan and groan about with American families/visitors/execs. Totally different world and circumstances.
I feel badly for the families, and the staff.
