University Hospital S U N Y Health Science Center: "Was told to go to the ER right away by urgent care for possible blood clot. Waited 10 hours, and was not the longest waiting patient. One person had been there since the night before and the triage nurse couldn't tell me with certainly that I would be seen within 18 hours. There were lots of rough walk ins in dire need but it was clear that the hospital is overwhelmed and understaffed. Staff is trying their best but it's no where near enough. " - Eldon
