Dead Patient in Hospital for regular Cubans

This video was filmed in August of 2007 inside the 10 de Octubre Hospital (formerly known as "La Dependiente") in Havana, Cuba. This is a hospital for regular Cubans, very different from those hospitals for foreigners and tourists where regular Cubans are not allowed. In the video, a relative of another patient is told by a nurse to watch when the patient on the next bed stops breathing, because that would be a signal that he was dead. If you watch closely, 24 seconds into the video, you'll see a fly landing on top of the dead patient's pajamas.

Yea when they get to America and settle in the cubans start bashing America, if they're not happy they should take they're happy asses back to cuba.

[cubano1979]

Sadly in some instances I would have to agree with you. These cubans are part of the "Hombre Nuevo" (new man) created by the revolution. Basically, people accustomed to live barely stealing off the governement without working or making efforts and no future whatsoever. When they get here and realize they have to work they suffer a shock. Fortunately, most Cubans are not like that and many do strive and make very successful lives abroad.

This film reflects the truth about medical treatment in Cuba. I know because I lived there. Michael Moore is a liar.

actually thats de havana hopital ,it's the capital university-hospital the best available for public , and USA idiots Cuba is a small country , ( 11millons) a hospital that big is not for elites , i live in tunisia country with almost the same population , and you might want to check facts an statistics about Cuba . And as a medical student i can confirm that Micheal moore did get a special treatment ! because he was only treated by real doctors and not students

I thought the Communist System had good health care in Cuba. You mean to tell me that a Patient dyed in a Cuban Hospital that suppose to have good care. Now I Know every thing that Fidel says is a genuine lie. That poor man that dyed is living proof of his lie.

sisi77fi: Seguro que este socialiston fue a Hospitales que se pagan en dolares, o al SIMEX,por que no fue a los hospitales donde el pueblo tiene que ir, donde pululan las ratas, cucarachas, los inodoros estan tupidos, falta de agua, la comida pesima etc etc.

@comett1

I know very personally many Cubans, grew up neighbors of many that came from Cuba after Castro and I don't know ANY Cuban that bashes America. I want to know who you personally know that does this!

I actually know several that would rip a Che t-shirt off your back if you dared wear it close to them.

Do NOT generalize, all of them still have family in Cuba and would love nothing better than to see Castro et all burning in hell.

[zuccherissimo]

¡Qué tristeza morir así solo! ¿Dónde está la familia de ese pobre hombre? Este video me ha dejado muy triste.
