"Of course,
they can't take her to
an ER or urgent care directly
because it might bankrupt her family."

our whole
Country is run
by thee most Bankrupt
felonious conniving shysters

enabled by rapacious profiteering
cunning, fake Jesus followers
strip-mining the Citizenry
to live like Pharaohs

and we lie in driveways
awaiting overpriced
medical assistance

to feed coldhearted
soulless capitalists
the blood that
keeps them
Alive.

at least said driveway owner
didn't put their monster
pickup into 4-wheel
drive and simply
run Over the
injured girl.

at least
we have
That to be
Thankful for.

Please
pardon
my cynicism
Cadet Bonespurs
has been overloading
the 'news' today with his
exploits, even now his masked
heavily-armed brownshirts're whisking
citizens -- WHITE Citizens, with the temerity to
look sideways at his ICESTAPO -- and to Where, Gawd only knows

at least
we Think
they're working
for Cadet Bonespurs

This story is BS. EMTs can perform aid on a minor without permission of a relative, and they would take the kid to the ER regardless of the family's circumstances.

@3~but the Ride
and the Prohibitively
EXPENSIVE Treatment ass-
ertions are Decisively Spot fucking On

KkKoolie. how tf are
They not Cause
for Derision?

plus: 'How LONG
is This Gonna
TAKE?'

Oh! was it Your
Driveway?

my sincerest of
condolences!

@4: Stop embarrassing yourself.

@5 -- "What does 'projecting' mean in slang?

It means to take your own feelings, insecurities, or qualities and transfer them onto someone else subconsciously. For example an extremely fat woman calling another woman fat and saying she needs to put on more clothes would be projecting."

you're not
Overweight,
are you, KkKoolie?

@6: You're projecting that I'm projecting.

@KkKoolie:

and
There
you Go,
yet Again.

@8: likewise

@9 - likewise
Likewise.

@3 that is only true in the case of medical treatment being necessary to safeguard the life of the minor.

RCW 7.70.065 — General Consent Authority for Minors outlines who is authorized to provide informed consent on behalf of a minor (e.g., parents or other authorized adults), absent emergency circumstances.

Although gashing a knee is painful as all get out, it would not rise to the level of life threatening barring additional injuries (aka, she was losing a lot of blood).

@11sies
not to worry
Budd -- it'll bounce
off KkKoolie like a fire-
hose-full off a duck's arse:
In one eye and right out t'other

@11: A distinction without a difference if the patient could go into shock.

JFC reading the stupid comments in whatever prose that goof kristo writes is painful.

Please kristo, knock it off. It's terrible and annoying.

"It was depressing enough that the EMTs couldn't help her until they got permission from a family member. After a few attempts, at least they patched her up and drove her to her house to see if they could contact anyone in person. Of course, they can't take her to an ER or urgent care directly because it might bankrupt her family, but they did what they could."

This didn't happen. What a load of baloney.
