“She was obviously in pain,” he said on Sunday, recalling his wife’s excruciating pain and their ordeal. “I was rolling her in the wheelchair and she could hardly sit up.”
Ms Holthoff’s pain worsened as the two waited for more than six hours in the emergency department’s waiting room. They were only able to see a doctor after 6pm in the evening, he said. By then, the doctor said, it was already too late.

A complete failure of the Emergency room resulting in a loss of life and if anyone thinks We don't have some of the same problems, We do ! The more We move towards that type of system the more likely and often it happens. If a Doctor can't check right away in stead of people making presumptions the result could be fatal
