Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Rob-Your-Dying-Ass-in-the-ER Hell on Earth.

Poor bastard was probably a Skins fan.

Going into the ER and saying "Chest and arm pain" usually grants you a pass to the front of the line. Wonder why this guy sat there waiting...

It isn't like it was Christopher Walken's watch. That would be disturbing.

If only we had privatized health care.....oh wait.

Philadelphia is a cess pool of liberal corruption. It is Detroit Lite.

So now he has REALLY nothing to live for, eh?

They are getting ready for Obamacare?

/Just to see where it will go.

Pft, amateurs.

Over here they get to you while you're drowning on your own blood trapped in your wrecked car.

It's not like you're going to need that watch where you're going anyway...

Politics tab is over there ------->

when three people realized the man was unconscious, they stole his watch instead of going for help.



He should have hidden his watch. Yeah. You know where to hide a watch.

Ever been to an Emergency Room near the ghetto? It is ridiculous. I don't know if medicaid pays out better for emergency room visits or what but I once had to wait with a little girl and a clearly broken arm for 3 hours as such emergencies as menstraul cramps, colds and headaches were there. It made no sense.

The "City of Brotherly Love" is the same as Fox News: Fair and Balanced or the slut in high school that told everyone she was a good girl.

A hospital worker stole the watch off my father after he died. Kick, replies, etc.

While that may be true, that has absolutely nothing to do with this story.

I just thought it was full of black guys on the down low.

Aaaaaaaaand WE'RE OFF! Ladies and gentlemen, Nemo's Brother coming strong out of the gate and into the first turn it's NEMO'S BROTHER *IN* the lead!

On a completely different topic. Check out NeeKo's much better remake of Jay-Z's crappy Empire State of mind song. Link (new window)

This makes me think of a drinking game a friend came up with one day.

was it these people who robbed him?

Once while traveling through west Philadelphia I started getting severe stomach pains, so I went to the emerg and they wouldn't even let me in - the security guard said "we're full, go to Mercy Hospital, they're taking patients."

I was like "no you have to let me in, I can't drive and I feel like I'm going to die". The security guard actually grabbed my arm and pushed me back to my car by force. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, she said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."

Here's a hint of gold
Stuck into a tooth
Pardon me M'sieur
You won't be needing this no more.
Shouldn't be too hard to sell.
Add it to the pile
Add it to the stock
Here among the sewer rats
A breath away from hell
You get accustomed to the smell.

Well someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends
Bodies on the highway
Law and order upside down
Someone's got to collect their odds and ends
As a service to the town!

Here's a tasty ring
Pretty little thing
Wouldn't want to waste it
That would really be a crime
Thank you sir, I'm in your debt
Here's another toy
Take it off the boy
His heart's no longer going
And he's lived his little time
But his watch is ticking yet!

Well, someone's got to clean them up, my friends
Before the little harvest
Disappears into the mud
Someone's got to collect their odds and ends
When the gutters run with blood.

It's a world where the dog eats the dog
Where they kill for bones in the street
And God in His Heaven
He don't interfere
'Cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet
I raise my eyes to see the heavens
And only the moon looks down
The harvest moon shines down!

I prefer Master of the House if you're gonna do "Les Mis"

The reason they knew he was robbed was because the Hospital found his pockets empty when they went to rob him themselves.

If anybody is the TRUE loser here its the hospital.

We gotta get an American Health Care tag for Fark.

the next tag should be a Texas tag

Psumek What is that from? I definitely remember seeing Sinbad in that.

Sin_City_Superhero: when three people realized the man was unconscious, they stole his watch instead of going for help.

That watch? In Philadelphia, it's worth fifffffty bucks.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Obama-Care.

The worst thing I've ever seen in an ER was a man with his cut off thumb in a jar full of ice screaming in pain while he waited for an hour in the waiting room while law and order was on the television. They sure like to cart in teenagers who need their stomachs pumped on a nightly basis though.

ARRRRGHHHHHH! Got me.

I thought Philadelphia was the warmer, safer, gentler neighbour to Camden in New Jersey.

Am I mistaken?

Philadelphia: The city that loves you back.

Gordon Bennett: I thought Philadelphia was the warmer, safer, gentler neighbour to Camden in New Jersey.

Am I mistaken?

It is. Camden is just that horrible.

My wallet was stolen from me at Stanford Hospital.
So wealthy areas have thieves too. Always assumed it was staff. And no it was not on my person at the time.

I've been to Philly's Presbyterian Hospital ER (West Philly/U City) twice. Both times got seen relatively quickly despite my not being close to death. Of course, by the end of the day, the place does tend to fill up, and I would not want to be there at, say, 11 pm on a Saturday night.

I Googled the hospital in TFA and it's not where I expected - it's up in the Northeast.

/still think this place is 100x better than Camden
//11 years in Philly, never been a crime victim
///nor served on a jury, thank Bob

I was born in Camden and grew up walking around there, Philly and Newark any time of night I damned well pleased, so I'm getting a kick out of this.

/White as can be, too.

Is this an example of how the U.S. provides the best health care in the world?
