Is it like this in other places through out the country? Patti |
I know of someone who went into the ER because he was having chest pain and they took so long to take him that he passed away right in the ER! His wife kept telling everyone that someone needs to help him but they were so busy. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE IMO!!!
