Better than the American system, where you have doctors but no one can afford to go to the offices.

Suck a dick.

Health care is a privilege, not a right.

And that's the difference in thinking between the US and the rest of the developed world I guess. I see it as a right.

It shouldn't be. If you're not willing to work for your own health care why should you expect it given to you? I understand that there are some situations where people can't get/afford healthcare for valid reasons. In that case I do think that they could deserve some help. However, just handing it out for free is a mistake.

Back to the OP, that guy deserves some respect. Not only did he continue at risk to his life, he was able to concentrate and get through his pain to do it. That's impressive.

The declaration of independence states that "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are primary parts of of the inalienable rights of man. Where exactly along the way did the right to life become a privilege?

Health care should not be intended to construed as a privilege. The only reason that line of logic ever comes into play is due to this countries complete obsession with money.

How the hell do you continue operating during a heart attack?

Depends on the severity.

 

[yhelothar]

he'd probably have a worse heart attack worrying about a dying patient.

The issue is not whether one should pay, I actually believe people SHOULD pay.

I just think that between plan payments, co payments and premiums and limited coverage that it is unthinkable that the average man can afford gas, light, water and healthcare. It's nuts!

By being that Italian neurosurgeon.

I do believe he should see an oncologist though, just to get a "pre-existing condition" verified. He might have balls of lead that could be mistaken as tumors later in his life.

how the fuck do you keep your hand steady with heart attack????

You'd be amazed how much more accurate your second sentence is in comparison to your first.

By "giving" a right to someone's labor, you enslave that person. Money has nothing to do with it. Do you have the right to force someone to train for 10 years to become a doctor, just so you can enjoy the fruits of his labor? That's pretty much what you're saying by claiming that health care is a right.

Back to OP: Props to the Doc for pure awesomeness!

It wouldn't work since the mother would die in the birthing process.

That's awesome!

But it wouldn't have been if the scalpel slipped while he had the attack.

Is his name Dr. Andreas Shepardo?

He takes the saying "Man up" to a whole new level.

 

[MrChad]

This seems like totally reckless behavior to me. I'm glad it worked out for all parties involved, but it could have been a lot worse.

I don't claim to know a lot about brain surgery, but it seems to me that it requires strong mental focus and a steady hand. I understand that the doctor didn't want to abandon his patient, but it seems to me like he placed his patient at great risk by continuing the surgery after his mental and physical facilities were compromised.

He should have handed over the reigns to another surgeon.

EDIT: I guess this all depends on the availability of another surgeon.
