Default What a mess

My father in law was having chest pain and went to TVRH. He was triaged and told to have a seat in the waiting room, it would be a while. He got up and told the nurse "I'd rather die at home." How sad is this??? When I lived "up North", I had a bout of severe chest pain. I went to our ECC and they took me right in. This is the way it should be with chest pain. I also noticed that nobody at TVRH ECC offers to get a wheelchair for those in need. I watched a man, who could barely walk, drag himself into the ECC at TVRH and not one person offered him assistance. Again, up North, the ECC staff would have gotten a wheelchair and assisted him. I cannot believe the lack of care here.
