    Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center: "My daughter has been waiting since 12:30pm with facial, neck both shoulder swelling Dx of Sickle Cell, Dvt with swelling around her port no one examined her symptoms as of 4:31pm only vials was taken. I was on the phone with her twice when she reported her condition based getting worse both nurses told her to bare with them they are very busy. I would think not being able to breathe and swelling will be considered an emergency. At least someone could have looks at her swelling and monitor her breathing until they can get her to see a doctor but she have been sitting inthe waiting room for help. I live out of town so I'm worried and feel helpless with my 24 years daughter suffering and scared to ask her help again because she feels no one cares about her sickness." - Catreena
