Ageism. Pure and simple Ageism. Is it right? No. But does it still occur? Yes. Can anything be done about it? I don't think people care enough. If someone's ill or hurt they should be the first to recieve medical care DESPITE their age. No one should have priority over another. Because of this faulty way of doing things, it's likely MANY adults die of their medical problems just so someone's "Junior" or "Princess" can see the doctor for a problem that's probably nothing more than your average stomach bug or cold. I'm not saying that kids don't deserve medical care because everyone deserves it. All I'm saying is that age should have nothing to do with it. It's like once you hit 18, you don't matter squat to doctors and nurses anymore and if you get hurt/sick, it's "Tough Luck" because a person under 18 will take higher priority over you and you could have a LIFE THREATENING disease or injury. Again, it's not right but it's just how things are.
The only place where I have seen form of prejudice thrown out of the window, was in London. Then again, England follows a completely different form of government than what America follows.
Why are kids more important?
