> A 26-year-old dental student in Connecticut died in an intensive care unit that was overseen by a remote "tele-health" doctor who pronounced him dead on a video screen after failing to "effectively communicate" his medical needs, a lawsuit says.
> Conor Hylton's parents are suing Yale New Haven Health, which owns and operates the Bridgeport Hospital Milford Campus where their son died in 2024, and Northeast Medical Group — which is also part of Yale New Haven Health — for negligence that they say ultimately led to his death.
Private equity gutting local hospitals and other healthcare silently create health deserts where the profits of their life flights to their for-profit tier 1 trauma centers far away are more important than healthcare outcomes like preventable and unnecessary deaths, disability, and bankruptcies.
This is what happens when corrupt, unempathetic, unregulated "capitalism" rapacious destruction and industrialized theft by a tiny cabal of psychopaths is allowed to capture government and great wealth at everyone else's expense. They would label Jesus "woke" and Adam Smith (given the real meanings of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations minus the superstitious mythological fetish of the "Invisible Hand") a "socialist".

I wonder why they didn’t give him some ethanol or a benzodiazepine.
I’m no doctor but a 26 year old presenting with pancreatitis and dehydration is almost certainly an alcoholic, dude was probably wracked with DTs :(
