The emergency room is overcrowded and very disorganized. My mother was sent to the emergency room by her oncologist due to low blood pressure and heart rate. she was placed in the crowded emergency room with patients coughing all around her. I needed to explain to the nurse that my mother was receiving chemo and her immune system was very week therefore she needed to be moved. A scan was requested at approximately 9:00 pm at at 2:00 pm we were still waiting for her to receive a scan. I was told there is only one scan and if an emergency or trauma patient comes in, patients are bumped. In humane conditions.
