Re: Docs to Shooting Victim: Come Back Monday

If you don't have health insurance and it's not an emergency, New York City's Fund operates The Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic. They are trying to triage the situation and prioritize instead of getting the job done. Any Texas doc I know of will get 'er done. People in NYC will put off tomorrow what can be done today, UNLESS it is profitable. Since free health care for the poor isn't, they'll just sit on it until Monday, even though it will only take a second to remove the bullet. Judging from the X-Ray, it is a very simple procedure that only requires a set of tweezers, a bit of debriding, and stitching. It's a 5 min job in experienced hands. Thanks to Obamacare, you may expect triaging, delaying, and prioritizing for all.

Just another reason why I turned down offers in New York City. Thank God I'm a Texan.

Per the article, violent crime is up in NYC where there is gun control while crime is down in the South where there is concealed carry. Imagine that....
