Actually, the moral of the freaking story is that someone should not be dead because he couldn't get affordable dental care. The antibiotic and the pain meds should have been available to him. Great health care system we have here in the USA.
In Third World countries such as Cuba and Brazil, he would have survived.
Don't mind that person's question. It was interesting to read this story because I know that people go through this all the time. Some times people put themselves in that situation, yes, but a lot people just can't afford healthcare.
I think the moral of the story is that when we're faced with choices, we should make the right ones. Maybe the guy was addicted to pain medicines.
Also someone only 24 having to have all his teeth removed must not have brushed them ever but also ate too much sugary foods. And if he doesn't have money to buy antibiotics, I wonder why he's choosing to have children. It doesn't sound like he's going to be much of a provider for his kids.
The article was talking about wisdom teeth, that has nothing to do with not brushing your teeth. In some people there Isn't enough room in the back of the mouth for the teeth to grow and thus it begins to push against other teeth and gums often leading to infection.
i think he was a good father. without employment he put his daughter's needs first and most of the time i have been forced to not spend $27 or less on something i need because that money is for the kids, not necessarily meaning he did not have that much money. it is sad, i am on here looking for emergency dental care to take care of my tooth that is in dire need of a root canal asap because i can't afford to pay out of pocket and take care of myself. i only hope if my situation turned into a similar one, dying from an untreated toothache, that the people commenting my story would be more compassionate. don't presume you know the entire story, i am lucky enough to live where we have publix who offers their antibiotics filled for free no matter the person.
Newsflash: Somebody died, its so horrible!!! Solution? Create government programs that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, even though people will still fall through the cracks like this. When people fall through the cracks of the first government program, create a program that catches people who fall through the cracks at a cost of double the first program. Problem solved!
Man, the milk of human kindness is overflowing in here.
And when the cats overrun your home and you become the "Cat Lady" it was some else's fault...
We should nationalize health care based on this ridiculously stupid assumption.
