Well, not to sound unsympathetic, but alot of people really over-exagerate their pain, not to mention its a completely non-specific finding. We discharge people all the time with pain, as pain within reason, is not a valid reason to keep somone at the most expensive hotel in town another night.
I don't know the specifics of this case to say either way, but rest assured that the media
always sensationalizes these cases, playing up the helpless patient while demonizing the health care system. Calgary's own Vince Motta is a good example.
