Unemployed man with no health insurance dies after minor tooth infection spreads to brain

New York's Daily News is reporting that Kyle Willis, a 24-year-old Cincinnati man, died from a tooth infection that spread to his brain. Willis, who was unemployed and uninsured, had a toothache and was told that he needed his wisdom teeth pulled. Willis could not afford the procedure, so he decided to wait it out.

Willis ended up going to the emergency room when his face began to swell. He was informed that he had an infection that could spread to his brain, so doctors prescribed a pain reliever and antibiotic. Willis could not afford the antibiotic,so he took the pain reliever instead.

While Willis' discomfort subsided, the infection continued to spread, causing lethal swelling in his brain that resulted in his death.

                                         These cases are examples of how inhumane society has become. The insurance companies are in your corner--if you pay them. A gross injustice that leaves me seething mad.  In the corporatocrisy that we live in today, the aphorism is: The bottom line is the bottom line!

People can also die from ear and sinus infections, esp children.  Unfortunately, we'll see more stories like this.  What a shame.

The illnesses that are the easiest to cure,they neglect to treat. It is a shame and a crime against humanity to let people die of ailments like this.
