Upper Chesapeake Medical Center: "4 hours and 8 mins is way wrong it’s a 13 hour wait right now . My fiancé has stage 4 triple negative break cancer , was give less then 2 weeks to live , is on home hospice and needs her stomach drained from her liver failing until they put the permanent drain in on Tuesday April 2nd 2024 and we have been here since 5am and it’s 9:27am and she should of been called back there due to her being a high priority cancer patient with a weakened immune system where she could potentially catch something by even sitting in the waiting room. It’s absolutely insane and bulls***. " - Bradley
