Hurley Medical Center: "I've been here 6 hours. In a room with two chairs and a sink. I've been curled on the floor in a ball for the lot of this time. I have covid and I am not allowed to leave the room. In this time not one person has checked on me, moved me and the pediatrics down the hall has refused to acknowledge my existence because I'm not pediatrics. This includes refusing to get me a hat so I can pee in a cup due to a handicap. Refusing to get me a cup of water because I'm not a child. I've felt worse here than I did at home. And at this point I would rather be at home because at least there's common human decency there. " - Shaeanne
