I thought you might be tired of entitled Americans and thought you might like a story about entitled Canadians for a change

I'm so tired of these entitled yahoos. Kudos to the hospital for tossing the idiot out. I feel sorry for the poor kid that's stuck with her.

I’m glad she posted this on social media.

I know she’ll never understand, but others willl see how truly moronic going to the ER without a mask and then arguing about it is. Kudos to the hospital staff for taking a stand.

Encumbered by Idgits, we pressed on.

I'm glad they threw her out on her ***.

I like the tweet warning her she's about to become a verb. All the actually-named Karens will appreciate the break.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

This just makes me shake my head.

Did she expect sympathy? What a goofball.

Go to the er for a broken finger. Guess it’s free in Canada

Where are you supposed to go when you break a bone?

urgent care

urgent care

Not all areas have urgent care. I'm currently living in an RV and have for a couple years now. If I broke a bone I would go to the nearest hospital. Not sure why you find it funny. Have fun with it though.

urgent care

Urgent care is not 24/7 where I live, so if it's after business hours, you're stuck with the ER ~ and the corresponding bill.

urgent care

That is urgent care Here, we have emergency clinics with x-rays, but for bones it’s the hospital.

You call your doctor. Typically you make an appointment with an orthopedic doctor.

 

[aggiedog]

As a physician, I find it funny that she thinks her broken finger trumps a potentially lethal virus that can be prevented with a mask. And unless the bone is sticking out, you can wait until the next day. The fact that she has enough energy to get that indignant tells me her finger is not in that bad of shape.

I'm glad the US does not have a monopoly on idiocy. Sorry, Canada.

I've been living in very rural areas across the US for a couple years now. I have no doctor to call. He's about 1,200 miles away right now. If I broke a bone out here in the middle of nowhere I'd have no choice but to go to the hospital.

you don’t need to go for a broken finger right away unless the bone is sticking out. Read what the doctor wrote

Maybe she did but that expectation was misplaced. We really don’t have much of a “live free or die” mentality in this culture and don’t feel personally threatened by conforming to rules. Especially ones that make total sense in the context.

Public health care is NOT free. It’s tax payer funded and we all pay our (rather large) share. Please tell me why we than should not avail ourselves of care when it’s needed? Public health care means we don’t have to DIY our own broken bones or go bankrupt when we get cancer.

You call your doctor. Typically you make an appointment with an orthopedic doctor.

Now that is laughable. Here one simply does not self-refer to a specialist. Primary care providers are the gate-keepers to all levels of specialized care. You don’t just call up an orthopedist, a gynaecologist, a paediatrician, a dermatologist or even a psychiatrist for that matter. It’s just how it works here.

Not to mention the fact that if you called your GP to make an appointment to be seen for a suspected broken bone, the first thing they’d do is tell you to go immediately to urgent care (if available) or the ER.

She for sure thought she’d get all the support in the world. She’s getting ripped to shreds. I mean it’s a hospital. Not a coffee shop or a mechanic. (Yes wear a mask in those places too) but she really thought she did something with the hashtag film your hospital. She really did.
