[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 170953, member: 3419"] Who knows? Except that employees sat there and ignored her for over an hr. I hate to say it, but that is so typical NY. I have a cousin who lives in Manhattan and she was in the ER for 13 hrs. I called every 2 hrs to check on her b4 she was finally admitted to a rm. The places are overcrowded and not just poorly staffed, but incorrectly staffed. Most mgrs hire people with-brains. Apparently, these hosptals hire people with-o brains or hearts. My cousin had to hire an assistant to 1) change her sheets ea time she wet the bed or the catheter overflowed; 2) bring her tea and water; 3) physically get the nurse when the medications ran out, because no one was ever at the nurses' station to see the light go on... You get the idea. Amazing she had to pay out of pocket for that. I have offered many times to have her move to VA but she would rather have her "independence" in her apt., where she is alone and in pain and can't even get the mail, than in an unfamiliar place with-relatives, 3 square meals plus scads of chocolates, and great health care. There are 2 sides to every story. Still, when someone goes to the ER, it's called EMERGENCY for a reason. Disgusting. [/QUOTE]
