Topic	83 year old in the uk denied treatment due to her age
DarkRoast 06/25/19 7:19:03 PM #43:	Just want to point out that it's considered unethical to admit a patient you don't have the capability of treating. For example, at my hospital we don't have cardiology and if we have a patient with elevated troponins or ST segment elevation (STEMI), we send them right from the ER to another hospital. Anyone with a HEART score of 5 or greater gets a transfer as well. So, basically, TC is complaining about doctors and hospitals being ethical. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:923842282] in 83 year ol...
