Thought it to be common sense that all marginalised peoples either indigenous to an area or not, lack the most basic Western world preventative health care. They seek emergency care and get dumped to the curbs to follow-up with their Primary Care Physician. Hello!!! They don't have one and will not follow-up outside of hospital environment. That's why they go to the Emergency Room! Physicians hands are tied. Most I've spoken to truly want to provide the proper courses of treatment but Hospital Administration (Red Tape) won't allow them to. They have to follow the A, B, C's of hospital treat and release administrative protocol. The worse system worldwide for all those who can not afford private costly health insurance policies. Aboriginal and the marginalised are the ones who get left to bite the dust. Interesting to hear this out of Australia.
