Kent County Memorial Hospital: "Went to emergency room per doctor Furey's order at 7 pm. Had to wait until 4 am. Phyllis is 85 years old and was very ill. Sodium levels were dropping fast. She cried a lot. There was no way she could get any badly needed sleep in those chairs. 9 hours seems cruel and unusual.
Last year she had a wound on her ear that wouldn't stop bleeding. We went there to have it looked at. They wrapped a large band aid around her hair and placed it on the wound. I had to pull it all apart when we got out to the car.
