Fwench way of Healthca Guilty! Diana's death!

Excerpt from the source
:
"..the most baffling question was whether doctors could have done
more
to prevent Diana, 36, from dying.

The horrific accident illustrated the difference between the French
and U.S. approaches to emergency care -- a relatively small piece of
the French medical system, but deemed by some people to be the best
in
the world and often cited as a model for U.S. health care overhaul.

When rescue workers arrived, Diana was conscious, uttering, "My God"
and "Leave me alone" to the swarming paparazzi. Although she had
suffered internal injuries, she did not arrive at the Parisian
hospital for 110 minutes -- too late for the surgery that some
speculated could have saved her life.

Diana's last hour -- in cardiac arrest and bleeding to death -- was
spent in a mobile medical unit parked a few hundred yards from Pitié-
Salpêtrière Hospital, where an emergency team followed French
protocol
and administered treatment at the scene of the accident and en route
to the hospital.

At the time, many people surmised that had a U.S. ambulance
responded,
Diana would have been rushed to the nearest emergency room, where a
full set of professionals and diagnostic equipment might have revived
her.

Colloquially known as "scoop and run," the U.S. system is grounded in
studies that show a trauma victim's best chance for survival is
reaching the operating room within 10 minutes.

Under the French system, "stay and play," a fully equipped medical
ambulance with a doctor stabilizes the patient and then directs him
or
her to a specialized hospital, even if it is miles away...."
