It's really too bad he died, however.

Problem here is that he wasn't abusing the system. He went to his GP at that clinic complaining he couldn't urinate due to problems with the catheter the hospital put in. He had no legs and was in a wheel chair so they put him in a taxi with a note from his GP. Surely someone could have read his note his GP sent with him.
