How can a person wait 34 hours in ER and not one medical person give a shit?.

More to this story. He was a regular there and took a swing at a nurse on his last visit. They were trying to teach him a lesson.

Well now they have to pay millions for their negligence.

Come on, 34 hours without being attended?.

Without addressing this particular case, there are a lot of "professional patients" who clog the medical buildings with minor or non-existent issues, simply to get attention, stay warm, or whatever the excuse. Triage is done on every patient, even in Winnipeg, to ensure those who need help the most get it. 34 hours is not excusable, but also, if this fellow kept annoying the staff with repeated visits I understand a little better. Many doctors have ignored hypochondriacs and attention-seekers to stew, hoping they will just leave (not that there's anything wrong with them).
