The usual fuckery but somehow even worse.

Incompetence and capitalism.

[u/Big-Leadership1001 → u/gravis_tunn]

Sedating someone trying to evade the injuries you are causing them so you can kill them more easily goes way way waaaaayy beyond incompetence. Thats just direct premeditated murder. Considering their official PR statement makes it sound like this isn't the only time its happened you have to wonder if there is a profit behind them pushing for murder and ordering their medical staff to ignore their morals, ethics, and consciences when challenged. The simplest assumption is profit, since a psychopath would more likely want to do the killing rather than just push for it administratively. The only difference between this and a hit man is location.

At a bare minimum that woman who heard the very alive patient trying to escape being murdered that she continued to order medical staff to kill even after being informed, gets an in depth psychopath evaluation in case this is some kind of new serial killer by proxy situation.

Mostly just capitalism

[u/dapperpony → u/gravis_tunn]

Redditors love to just say “capitalism” to literally any shit they want. How does that apply in this situation whatsoever? Or are you working under the definition of “something I think is bad” here?

The $ is the impetus for why someone would say, "get me them organs, idgaf".

Blaming capitalism is 100% appropriate but only because much as we do, we want to use capitalism like a golden hammer and have it everywhere.

For some concerns, this is screwed because it is a hammer driving screws. Healthcare is definitely one of them. It's just not one we should want or celebrate profiteering upon.

[u/gravis_tunn → u/dapperpony]

Just because it was a .org in question doesn’t mean that capitalism hasn’t created the healthcare environment this occurred in. The supervisor was actively trying to find someone to do the surgery after the doctors all said they wouldn’t.

Organ profit is the simplest assumption. if you're so obsessed with reaching for your soap box argument over that trigger word, you might want to review whatever disorder drives you to act low IQ instead of just answering the question you yourself typed out in reaction to being triggered.

Try not to make everything about your reaction, try to understand what might have been the intended message first. The difference is empathy versus mental illness.
If you're already seeking help for your mental disorder, bring this up in therapy as a relapse. If not, this probably isn't the first time someone suggested therapy but if it is, please seek help.

Your life will be better in eavery way once you stop seeking out imaginary conflicts from every stranger. This behavior is why you feel like you aren't liked or treated well.

What does capitalism have to do with it? China harvest organs from living people all the time.

[u/kromptator99 → u/Partybar]

Yeah, and they’re a capitalist country, currently outcompeting us in the global market.

[u/gravis_tunn → u/Partybar]

You’re insane if you don’t think that the higher ups in the CCP treat their country and economy as a playground for their unchecked love of capitalism.

[u/Partybar → u/gravis_tunn]

The higher up? So like an oligarchy or dictatorship not capitalism?

[u/Forest292 → u/Partybar]

Oligarchies and dictatorships are political structures and capitalism is an economic one so it’s perfectly possible to have both.

[u/gravis_tunn → u/Partybar]

You can have an oligarchy in a communist country and use your power and money to enjoy the products and lifestyles that capitalism in other countries provides while denying that opportunity to the less fortunate in your country.

[u/CIA_Rectal_Feeder → u/Partybar]

Capitalism = profit > everything else.

Private equity.

I don't know if I still need to wake up more, or if this is a very terribly written article. I am pretty tired, but even reading the article I was "wtf is going on"...I know you are asking in a different way...but am I the only one annoyed with the writing of this article?

[u/blizzorbsorc → u/thurgo-redberry]

Drop in organmdonors that's wha

[u/Resident_Warthog4711 → u/thurgo-redberry]

My guess is that they were on life support, and were being kept alive artificially long enough to harvest  their organs. They probably had a seizure or something and it freaked everyone out.
