Munson Medical Center: "Arrived at the ER close to 1am left at 3am 5 month old seemed okay.. came back to ER baby was fussy signs of ear infection in distress... everyone who was before us was seen when the first time we arrived.. the second time we had arrived at 4am there was 3 people before us all were seen except us. More people arrived elderly, young, and kids all seen except us...it is now 734am no one has seen my 5 month old. Everyone else gets to go in and out except us... I feel a little discriminated is it because my insurance is outta state or why should a baby wait so long with ear infection? This is ridiculous " - Fani
