When values become too earthly

The linked article is actually quite sad.

A young guy defends his girlfriend and is slashed by two attackers. He dies in the hospital and late treatment of his wounds might have contributed a lot to his early death.

Hospitals in Malaysia frequently demand payments before treatment and this was the case here. Rules were followed, and only after intervention of the father was the youth treated. He died because this treatment came too late.

If values would have been in place, monetary considerations would have taken a backseat. It didn't happen and this is the sad part of the story. But then, I am judging from my side of the map. The side of the hospital has not yet been heard. The person who was in judge hasn't mention his or her opinion. Still, the feeling of sadness is nevertheless appropriate.
