bizarre A 19 years old homeless drug addict shows the state of his body.

Maybe a jail bid will smarten him up....

Incorrect. An ER is obligated to treat someone with an emergent medical condition (as this clearly is) regardless of ability to pay. This fact is very well-known in the US.

I think you’d be very shocked on how many hospital refuse homeless and have them walked off the property by security here in the US lol especially in states with poor medical to start

They must legally treat *emergent* medical conditions. They do not have to treat non-emergent conditions, nor humor homeless drug seekers. Hospital administration is very aware of liability and what financial damage they can incur if they refuse to treat someone who then immediately dies from the condition for which they sought treatment. That is rare. If you see someone being escorted out by security, it's extremely likely they were disruptive and/or drug-seeking, AND didn't have a real medical emergency either. They will let them sit there usually if they're not disruptive.

Just pour a little bleach on it ya puss, kills the infection

I don't understand how they let it get that bad! Fair enough you have a drug habit and probably mental health issues but that dont stop you from going to hospital.

Fear and a healthy dose of denial.

Shooting up and lancing an abscess in a public restroom 🤮

I hope he cleaned that up, nasty fuck! And no he is not sexy at all! The poor bastard that walks into that bathroom like “not again!”

He's going to get blood poisoning...

 

[Nobbler]

Such a shame, he’s trapped, you wouldn’t leave a dog on the street in that condition and only 19.

Sure it does. You know you won’t get a fix for your jonesing at the hospital.

This is so sad. 5 years sober in May. If you’re struggling with drugs please reach out. It gets better.

Insurance??

Maybe. But if it’s not for a lack on insurance, it’s due to the risk of waiting a long time for care (Canada being one of the worst offenders in that regard).

Exactly.

Going to the hospital means he wont be able to get a fix. It seems ridiculous to non addicts...but his addiction is so strong he cant bear the thought of doing anything that would put a barrier up to getting drugs...even medical care that he desperately needs. He doesnt care if he dies. Or if his leg falls off. He only cares about drugs.

this is sooo true...
i remember when i used to smoke cigarettes i would avoid places like the hospital like the plague because you can't smoke there, especially if i thought they were going to keep me in for a while
...and everyone else i know is the same way, with some of them it's about smoking weed or popping pills they have no prescription for...

Shoot him. He’d be better off. Trust me

 

[methedup77]

I agree.. sad to see someone that low at only 19yr but it happens. Makes you wonder where his family is or if he has them. Sometimes parents can only take so much and love u from afar unless they get help.

He probably stole from them etc. so they disowned his ass

Keep using buddy eventually you'll get that high you won't wake up from 🤙

It's from krokodil and there's nothing that anyone can do for him. It's too late.

This was posted 2 months ago. But apparently he is missing.

 

[atthedrivein]

He’s rotting……..

maybe i shouldn’t do coke anymore

It’s way more common in the US than people think, unfortunately. If you don’t have the money, they will let you die in the street. Not all hospitals, but a lot. Which is exactly why healthcare should never be privatized. Healthcare should be a human right.
