'When government does medical ...': Elon Musk slams Canadian hospital over death of Indian-origin man allegedly due to neglection

Billionaire Elon Musk slammed a Canadian hospital after an Indian-origin man died due to the negligence of the medical staff. Prashant Sreekumar, 44, a father of three, died after being kept waiting for hours at Grey Nuns Hospital in Canada. In a viral video, Prashant Sreekumar’s wife said that the Grey Nuns Community Hospital neglected her husband’s condition even after he complained of severe chest pain.Commenting over the viral video, Musk said, “When the government does medical care, it is about as good as the DMV.” In the video, the wife was heard saying, “He was brought to Grey Nuns Community Hospital around 12.15 pm. He was sitting in the triage from 12.20 pm onward till about, I would say, 8.50 pm in the night. He was sitting in the triage complaining of constant chest pain. His BP constantly kept on rising, with the last recorded blood pressure of 210. He… he was taken inside. He was only prescribed Tylenol during the entire waiting time that he was outside, and he was not given help. They said that chest pain is not considered an acute problem. They do not suspect a cardiac arrest,” she added. Further, she said that her husband collapsed, while nurses at the hospital were heard saying that they couldn’t feel his pulse. “When we came inside, he was asked to sit down. He got up for a fraction of seconds and he collapsed. He fainted. And the nurse was heard saying that I do not feel a pulse. So basically the hospital administration, the employees of Grey Nuns Hospital, have killed my husband, Prashant Sreekumar, by not providing him timely medical help,” she said.“And the security was so rude that instead of addressing the cause, they said, ‘Ma’am, you are being very rude.’ So basically it is okay for them to kill a human being and to tell the wife that you are being rude,” she added.
