Houston Medical Center Stories

Houston Medical Center: "ER wait from beginning to end was a little over 2 hours which was reasonable. My problem was a nurse said she was not yet fully vaccinated and it was not required by the hospital. Even though we were vaccinated, it totally freaked me out that staff were not all fully vaccinated. I immediately canceled my planned surgery because I do not want to even risk someone giving it to me. If what I read is true, vaccinated people can still get it. Granted it would be less serious but the potential is still there. I would rather be safe than sorry." - Pamela
