Idiot. She fell backwards on her head while skiing. She refused to go to the hospital right after the incident. She was not aware that she had suffered a epidural hematoma. By the time things took a bad turn, it was too late.
You really are a fucking doof, aren't you?
She first went to the hospital in Quebec. Imagine the double whammy of being Canadian and French.
The Canadians did not have the facilities so they flew her to New York.
Even Canadian medical personnel admitted as much.
No Helicopter Available
Why had it taken nearly six hours for the patient to arrive at a facility capable of treating her critical needs?
Witnesses agree that Richardson herself repeatedly declined to be taken to a hospital. But once it became obvious that her condition required it, Quebec’s antiquated medical evacuation system played a part: the region has no helicopters to move patients from the field to hospitals in Montreal – a situation that has already stirred controversy in the wake of Richardson s death.
“Our system isn’t set up for traumas and doesn’t match what’s available in other Canadian cities, let alone in the States,” Tarek Razek, director of trauma services for the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, which represents six of the city s hospitals, told the Associated Press. Montreal and its suburubs, the second largest urban region in Canada, has a population of more than 3.6 million. Richardson was treated in the intensive care unit at Sacre-Couer and it is believed her husband, Liam Neeson, first saw his wife after her fall there sometime Monday night after abruptly leaving a Toronto film set.
On Tuesday, Richardson was flown from Montreal to New York in dire condition. One report said the actress was seen on a yellow stretcher wrapped in blankets as she made her final journey home with her worried-looking husband by her side. She was admitted to Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and family members held vigil at her bedside. The family announced her death Wednesday evening.
This is the medical system I am supposed to be clamoring for? One that does not have the capability to handle head trauma? One that does not have a helicopter available?
Damn, FreddyForeskin got smacked up.
