It was a good day it is Friday and I got out of class early. I went to the tiger den with one of my friends after class we were just hanging out when as she gets a text message I get a phone call . Its my mom I didn't think much of it I just taught she was calling to say hello and see how things are going. But she changes the conversation topic really fast and says i have really bad news. My heart stooped i did not know what had happened when she tells me that one of our great long time friend has suddenly died. I could not believe what she said in fact I could not grasp it because that same night I had a dream about him. He was my grandparents best friend they always did things together he was a happy guy that enjoyed every day that he was with us. It came so sudden, i saw him in Puerto Rico before I came back in January and he looked really good he had no health problems or anything of that kind. He only slip one time and fell on his head really hard. Now this part is what makes me want to research about health care. He was taken to the hospital and there because there was no room available for him they put him in the hall way then after all his test where done they notice that he might not have fallen but that he had a stroke. Now lets be real if your patient cant recognize people not even his wife and he cant walk or talk very well why would you tell him that he can go home and if he doesn't get better then he can come back to do more test. That is absurd because of negligence I have lost a long time friend and he left behind grand kids and an entire family behind.
