What I saw today regarding that story is that the guy went to an urgent/emergency care…they determined he was having a heart attack…treated him to the best of their abilities..and then CALLED 43 hospitals asking if they had an ICU/CCU bed available for him…to which 42 said no. He was then transported by air to the first one that said they did have a bed for him. He spent 2-3 days there before he passed away from serious heart issues.

It’s not quite the same story as they originally portrayed…
