My mother-in-law who is 92 years old arrived at the ER by ambulance complaining of having problems breathing. She arrived around 2pm. It took several hours to be even triaged. She was kept in the hallway while waiting her turn. How undignified is that? Finally she was given a cubicle. It took over 7 hours for her to talk with a doctor. Blood work,x-rays and fluids were given but had to wait way too long to see a doctor. She had to be admitted. She was not admitted until around 1am. This is disgusting way to treat sick people. Today we have tried all morning to call her room(line is busy) so we got the number to the nurses station. Same thing. My husband just got out of our local hospital and was not treated like this. He was treated with respect and dignity.
