I can't believe she waited 36 hours insurance or not ....Bless her heart - she isn't alone (I don't have insurance either) so now I'll say that Ben Taub
is a really good hospital ....and yes they WILL treat her well there ....I was afraid it would be really busy being a holiday and weekend - but wow - 36 HOURS
I can't believe a hospital would just 'send someone home' with a brain tumor....but then again - maybe this is a good sign that it's operable and she has the time to apply for a card ???
I'm glad you feel like she's in good hands...that's very important.
