Trump's border wall causing major fall injuries and millions in unreimbursed medical expenses for
San diego hospitals.
SAN DIEGO - In the trauma wards of this city's major hospitals, patients from the border have arrived every day with gruesome injuries: skull fractures, broken vertebrae and shattered limbs, their lower extremities twisted into deranged angles.
What's different is that the border wall is a man-made obstacle that poses a lethal danger and public health challenge where one did not exist previously.
Dr. Jay Doucet, chief of the trauma division at UC San Diego Health, said injuries along the border wall occurred before its increase in height, but the older, shorter version of the barrier, ranging from nine to 17 feet, was not lethal.
"Once you go over 20 feet, and up to 30 feet, the chance of severe injury and death are higher," he said. "We're seeing injuries we didn't see before: pelvic fractures, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and a lot of open fractures when the bone comes through the skin."

"I never expected we would have to climb the wall," said Hector Almeida, a 33-year-old dentist from Cuba, recovering this week in the trauma ward at UC San Diego Health. He fractured his left leg in a fall Monday. Smugglers led his group to the wall with a ladder and told them to climb up and slide down the other side, said Almeida, who said he saw one woman fall and break both legs, and an older man with a severe head injury.

Easy solution: Don’t try to cross illegally. That will prevent it every time.

Those injuries wouldn't have anything to do with ...say, maybe trying to cross over the damned thing illegally, would it DUmbass.
Seeking "compensation" from injuries directly attributable to attemted illegal activities is usually a tough sell to any jury (outside of your leftist run blue shitholes, anyway). Besides, Uncle Sam could always take the easy way of avoiding those heavy financial burdens of injury treatment by LEAVING THE HAPLESS BASTARDS FOR THE TURKEY VULTURES TO FINISH OFF. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

1. These injured people are entering the US illegally. That was their choice, nothing forced them to do it. Zero sympathy.
2. It does not take a genius to figure out that a vertical unbroken fall from 30 feet will probably cause injury. Assuming that risk was their choice, nothing forced them to do it. Less than zero sympathy. Stabilize them and send them back to Mexico for treatment and recovery.

I think the DUmmy's point is that these people injuring themselves are a drain on hospitals who might not get compensated for rendering medical care. Raising the wall 10-15 ft higher might resolve that.

Or charging it with 22,000 volts might solve the problem too. :-)
