I wish that were true, but our local hospital really struggles. I’d be surprised if they could provide much of anything. We were there recently in ED for 8 long hours. They saw my Dad and I explained the situation. He had fallen and was suffering from eye inflammation. They said follow up with primary and cardiologist. Very understaffed. Dad nor I were offered water or food all day. They had no eye drops or ointment (sent my brother to buy some), no blankets, no pillows, no toilet paper, no one to help get my dad to car in wheelchair. A passerby helped me get Daddy in the car after I wheeled him out after discharge. Very sad situation.
