I haven't had any experience with TVRH. But, I help 4 seniors over 87 and I have spent a lot of time in emergency rooms in Michigan. My mother says you can never go to the ER for less than 6 hours.

Last year, I took my aunt to our local hospital before she was transferred to St. Joseph Hospital in Ypsilanti. (She had fallen on the ice and landed on her head.) After spending hours in the ER, I asked what was the hold up. It turns out she had a blood test in Adrian that required two testings. The two tests had to be 6 hours apart. It might of helped if they told us that so we didn't think we were being ignored. We spent over 12 hours in 2nd emergency room before she was sent to a room overnight for observation. And no, they wouldn't give her anything to eat until they knew the results of the tests.

Maybe there is a reason they were kept in the ER that you didn't know about. I will say they have never had to pay their co-pay before they were treated. I've never heard of that.
