#16 – O-Troll,

No. You don’t pontificate about HTML, though I don’t know why. You pontificate on a wide variety of subjects about which you know less then nothing. You never back up a word you say with a link. So, HTML being something you know less than nothing about would be a perfect subject on which you could pontificate.

On one such post, by sheer dumb luck, you made a point. That puts you at about one in more than five thousand or so. And, even for that, I had to do the research because you refused to post a freakin’ link. So, post another five thousand meaningless replies full of complete and utter drivel. Maybe you’ll get lucky once again.

Until then, bask in the glory of your one and only point that you have ever made in your entire life.

Hah, hah. Paddy-O dumping on Scott in the quaint fashion of Mr Mustard, but with no where near the imagination and panache.

I guess we are influenced by our friends and our enemies. ((Associaties and nonconfreres.))

#16 Paddy-O, you should be more concerned about HTML matters. The DOCTYPE sniffing controversy is riveting.

I should hope so. I don’t pontificate on HTML matters…

Oh, you’ve come back to the blog.

Always good to know I was missed. Thanks.

How’s your high school electronics class going?

Better than your HTML class.

SpongeBad: Against the law. In the US, an emergency medical facility can’t turn away a patient because of their inability to pay. They can chase after your money afterwards, however.

So what’s with the “Horrendous tales from the American medical establishment” banner when this took place in the Formerly Great Britain?

And it cost him $10,000 for them to go 2 miles right?

You need to ride on the ambulance for a few runs to get a feeling as to who can be saved and who can’t…

By the time they are called, things have gotten way out of hand usually.

The motto is, call them sooner not later. It will save your life.

Paddy-O-Troll,

Trolling again!!

Clearly this is not a case of universal vs. non-universal health care. This is a case of despicable humans failing to do their jobs. These induhviduals were not personally going to profit under either system.

On the lighter side, the 999 ops are doing exactly what they are supposed to do, cooperate to prosecute these criminals for not performing life saving resuscitation on someone who had clearly called for just such services and had not chosen to die.

The 999 ops are to be commended for not becoming complicit in the crime by ignoring it.

Wow. A couple guys are lazy callous assholes who are being paid. Period. Whether they are being paid under universal healthcare or not hardly matters. Instead of condemning the individuals for being horrible everyone tries to make this a soapbox for their own position on healthcare. Oh these guys, who are obviously so sweet, would have saved him.. but their paycheck comes from the government, if only someone private wrote them a check they’d be concerned for their fellow man. Give me a break.

#7 – Very true. Though that is how it works in Canada, and I believe the U.K. (though have not had personal experience with the UK system).

#6, that isn’t a necessary requirement of universal health care systems. Perhaps the one in the UK, but that can be fixed by changing guidelines/laws.
