One of my colleagues came to work not feeling well, this morning. Suddenly, she informed me that she had heart chest, tingling sensation in her hands and was not feeling well, and had a strong headache. I was lead by the Spirit to asked her if she wanted me to inform administration of our school, so that we can call an ambulance service. As I ran down the stairs to get our nurse and tell our school secretary to inform admin about the urgency. I got back up to keep an eye on her and in less than 10 minutes the ambulance just showed up! It was a speedy service! They got in our small room (closet) and took her blood pressure and as a result she was taken to Montefiore Hospital. I was given permission by my school to accompany the patient. As we entered into ER the admission process took place within 15 minutes, meanwhile, they asked me to wait in the waiting area for the visiting hours.
Visitors Hours runs every 2 hours:
From 10:00-12:00
12:00-2:00pm
2:00-4:00pm
4:00-6:00pm
6:00-8:00pm
8:00-10:00pm

The emergency room was packed of patients breathing one on top of the other! There is very little room available between the small cubical for patient's privacy. I heard many of the people complaining about the lack of Hygiene in the bathrooms, so I checked on myself. The bathrooms were filthy and stinky smells were coming out in the hallways. Public hospitals hygiene is to be rigorous and impecable in order to avoid contamination and the spread of diseases.
The ambulance service was perfect timing!
I heard many of the patients complaining about being there for long time without being getting attended.

Suggestion: Increase manpower to do the jobs.
