Reply to comment by ripstep1 in ‘Major Trustee, Please Prioritize’: How NYU’s E.R. Favors the Rich by goodguyfdny

I can't believe you can make a comment like that with a straight face.

> These people clog up hospital beds for no reason other than to receive a single dose of ceftriaxone each day.

Okay, so what? If he needs it, he gets it and is out in a few hours. That's the hospital literally doing its job.

Also, the remark "we should send him to a city hospital" is deeply bothersome. Why exactly should he go to a city hospital? Isn't he already in a hospital that should give him adequate care.

No. I am talking about people who literally sit in hospital beds for months getting daily ceftriaxone

Okay. Didn't even know that was a thing tbh.

That being said, I don't see any indication that this was the case with the undocumented immigrant.
