[QUOTE]A young mother gave birth on a pavement outside a hospital after she was told to make her own way there.

Mother-of-three Carmen Blake called her midwife to ask for an ambulance when she went into labour unexpectedly with her fourth child.
But the 27-year-old claims she was refused an ambulance and told to walk the 100m from her house in Leicester to the city's nearby Royal Infirmary.

Socialist healthcare is better than ________?

BTW...READ THE COMMENTS left by readers.

Who would deny someone an ambulance???? And no remorse from the hospital????


Fail Care.

IBomgdisbeamericanextyear!

She lives only 300ft from where she could've gotten care? Why not ask a neighbor for a ride or just hoof it?

I mean, if she waited until the last minutes to call the ambulance she's a moron. If she called early in the process, and just waited around at home for all that time, she's a moron.

I'm sorry but, what about personal responsibility?!?

hot bath my ass. she should get to the royal infirmary

You can not expect people to exercise "personnal responsibility" in a [I]socialist[/I] country.

Sorry but there is no argument here. If the hospital/ambulance refuses you then that system sucks.

Do you know for certain that ambulances are state run? around here they are all private.

Under a state run system they wouldn't be.

You guys should read the article; how is someone supposed to call ahead of time when this is what happened:

Calling a pregnant woman a moron for not thinking clearly when going into labor... seriously. What the **** is wrong with you people.
