I just wanted to comment on emergency rooms in general. I delivered my daughter at BI and have always remembered the professionalism and kindness of the staff.
My son did a coop as a security guard at Deaconess Hospital in Boston. He had the task of handling drug addicts, homeless and people who needed assistance. That job was demanding and exhausting and he had various medical staff every shift. The mission is provide a high level of medical care. I resist calling such a area "a joke". It is offensive and flies in the face of health care. A small amount of human compassion goes a long way.
