For anyone who gets upset over long waits in the ER waiting to be seen or for those already seen who have to wait hours waiting for a bed upstairs, you are still very fortunate to be here.

Last week, I read about a young lady in Canada who died because there was not a bed available for her......for months. She was awaiting a bone marrow transplant. There were plenty of donors and plenty of matches, but there were no beds available in the hospital. She finally ended up in a California hospital, got the transplant, but by then it was too late for the transplant to be effective. So sad. She was only 17 or 18.
