The unfortunate failure in the system was her admitted failure to get it looked at. Not the healthcare system. Did she look into Medicaid? ObamaCare?
The absolute JOKE that is American Health Care

Are you suffering from the hope vvv will consider the evidence you provided and modify his belief?Unfortunately not.
...from 1990 to 2009, the number of emergency rooms in the U.S. plummeted from 2,446 to 1,779 - a 27-percent decline. That number includes only ERs in non-rural areas, since rural ERs typically receive federal funding that keeps them open.Emergency departments are closing their doors: Why?

Well, that was fun.
I barely noticed last week's surgery because a pinched nerve made it feel like my arm was being electrocuted the whole time, with someone slowly turning the power up and up.
Finally, a desperate anesthesiologist dabbled in orthopedics and propped me up a bit, stopping the pain long enough for the surgeon to get done.
Surgeons don't like wiggly patients.
Yesterday, the same anesthesiologist appeared prior to surgery, armed with bubble wrap. He propped my shoulder up until it was as good as it can be while on my back, which isn't very. He also injected something under my eye to make it hold still even if the rest of me didn't. He said the surgeon requested that and extra pain meds.
There was more post-surgical pain when I was in the recovery area. Kind of a stinging. I took half of some leftover oxysomething when I got home and passed out the rest of the day.
The world is a lot brighter and colors are more vivid. My left eye now sees well. 20-20 they say. The right one is still blurry from surgery but it seems about like last week or better so will be fine tomorrow.
The hardest part: I'm not supposed to operate a chainsaw or mower for at least a couple of weeks.

- The joke was squirming away, in the patient's chair.
- American Health Care overcame the joke, even in FL.
- My cataracts were removed, for free, not a dime did I spend, and I gained 20-20 vision. Medicare rocks.
- The whole thing was boring, mate.

have read many pages of people saying that things in other countries are
a/ far better than the usa
b/ far worse than the usa
my stories are from friends in the usa or myself using nz and aussie health systems
most of my less than very well off usa friends have either deferred treatment or surgery because it was so expensive or have had it done in mexico because that was more affordable
then people like fw^3 say that they can have anything done when they want it
well as a counter
i busted my achillies playing cricket in sydney on a saturday afternoon .. after trying ( quite humorously at times ) to keep playing with a completely separated achillies i eventually went to a hospital ( mt druit ) after 5pm on saturday
after much waiting to see a specialist surgeon i was booked into hospital just after midnight and the operation was 3pm sunday .. about 25 hours after the break
total cost to me was $20 as collateral to borrow a set of shitty wooden crutches which i replaced with the alloy elbow type i brought on the monday then got the $20 back when i gave the wooden ones back
if by paying heaps you can get better service than that in the usa good on you but it's not making a lot of difference

$20 for a surgery ANYONE would receive in the USA is the trade off for giving up personal freedoms

Probably the only place to wear one even though they offer little protection from airborne viruses
