Answer 1

What’s is so bad is how unconcern the other people are in the video! What has happen to humanity? It’s like the guy that was hit by a car last week, no one tried to help, this discuses me!

Answer 2

It is heartbreaking. To them, she seemed invisible, but to others she was someone's daughter, perhaps mother, wife, sister... how can anyone be so apathetic.

May she now rest in a better place and may her legacy be that steps are taken so that this never happens again.

Answer 3

i don't think this would have happened in an earlier generation. People waiting in clinic rooms would be chatting & asking about each other's health. People were more humane. Today we are all so scared of "stranger danger" that we'd rather shut our mouths & ears & hearts to those we don't know. This case is a stark, cold result of such selfish behaviour.

Answer 4

I saw the video footage of this on the new this morning.

I was horrified, not only by the staff, but by the other patients who just sat there and did nothing to help this poor woman.

How sad, Our society is so disgusting.

Answer 5

Sadly - I'm not suprised this happened.

Nowadays - people couldn't care less about anyone but themselves.

How tragic.

Answer 6

what a sad world we live in//

Answer 7

you would have thought someone would offer help wouldnt you?

Answer 8

Really very tragic.  I am surprised at the hospital staff's laxity in the US.

Answer 9

What a sad indictment of today's society.  At times  I feel ashamed to belong to the human race

Answer 10

Its quite frightening to see something like this happen.  I hope all the staff involved get their just deserts

Answer 11

Society is so cold and inhumane at times, and this is a perfect example.  This is just so very sad, but unfortunately I, like so many of us, are not surprised....The hospital personnel need to be held accountable and prosecuted, not just fired.
