It's only gotten worse and will continue. ERs can't & won't refuse to see you or treat you. Our insurance & medical in the good ole USA is a disgrace. I really don't know how the Doctors & Nurses can work in an ER. You see all the walking wounded, the cold & tired and sometimes the most filthy disgusting people you could imagine come to the ER. The Hospitals in General are swamped with patients and it's only going to get worse.
As for TVRH I've had 4 procedures done in the Hospital and was treated fine. This last one I had to wait 2 months after my procedure to get into my rehab class they're so backed up.
I truly believe they're doing the best they can. If you don't like them don't go but remember this IF you call an Ambulance unless it's a trauma guess where your going. Be patient.

I agree. My husband has been to the ER 4 times. The first time was during "season" and that was miserable. Three other times he did have a wait but when the waiting room is full you have to expect that. Twice he was admitted and his care from start to finish was excellent.
