Tulane Medical Center: "Today 01_09_2017 my daughter had a strong pain, I went to pick her up from school and took to E R on canal st in new orleans, they got about 6 blood samples, and said wait to be called, every 2 hours we were checking and they kept saying wait, after 6 hours we decided to leave the hospital and went somewhere else, I hope more people share their experiences so the service get better." - santos
