Mike...Thank you for that beautiful story. The lack of compassion and empathy in the U.S. culture is mind boggling. Narcissism has increased to pathological levels.  
 
Many say that we must "change the hearts" of many who are in the U.S. I don't think that will happen. Maybe we need "good Samaritan" laws that would criminalize the behavior of the medical personnel that led to the death of Edith Rodriguez. I don't usually advocate more laws but this crisis in medical care has been going on for a long time. The unnecessary death of Edith is just the tip of the iceberg. 
 
Another issue is the lack of attention of the media. Celebrity misbehavior is given more news coverage than the deaths thousands every year due to medical errors, lack of health care, etc.
