I had been coughing blood for several days , I developed severe chest pain so I decided to go to the E.R.;
After I was checked in I got an EKG and was sent to the waiting area.
3 hours later I had not even got to the insurance person yet. At this point A lady came into the area and announced there was 5 ambulances and another on the way , We were told we would not expect to be seen anytime soon because of this.
I then left
We've been here 2 months and are considering moving out of the area because I need quality medical care due to multiple medical issues.
I don't see it here !

I agree with you...I think if I was to get sick I would go back to NY..My mother passed away 2 weeks ago from cancer and we didnt even know she was dying from bone and spine cancer until the third time we took her to the hospital and the nurse turned her over and felt a lump on her breast she asked me if my mother never had cancer and I told her yes 14 years ago ..that is when they took more test and told me she had cancer in her bones..We have been living here for 3 years and going to the doctor for blood work and follow up and never once did they ever say she had cancer.she has been complaing of pains but they always said it was her age she was 93 and her bones were getting weak..she was only in the hospital 3 days and in hospice for 3 days and passed away it was a shock to me that my mother was dying of cancer and I didnt even know it...I will ask ques and go futher on certain things when I go to my doctor from now on....
