In patients' words
"I eventually, on this occasion, was provided with a gurney-type space to lie down on in the hall, where I was then openly evaluated and interviewed with patients and families within earshot to my past and current medical problems."
— Letter to the Editor, Press Herald"Absolutely the worst medical experience in my life! Waiting time is unbelievably long. After 3 hour wait in ER waiting room still waiting to see a doctor!"
