Third World?? Hardly!

“It’s like the third world in here,” proclaimed a well dressed random patient relation to by standing nurse and paramedic in an emergency department.  She appeared serious and genuine in her derision.  She had just witnessed a patient have a seizure in the corridor awaiting a bed.

Say what you like about the health system.  We all have our criticisms.  Some have legitimate basis.  But we are lucky and blessed to have our health care.  It’s the furthest thing from the third world you might ever see.

People from the third world would definitely show more gratitude at having such health care.  They would feel privileged, as should we all.
