Why were they even operating at all? They said mostly poor, no insurance
patients are treated (or not) there. Is that true?

True.

There have been numerous problems at this 'hospital' in the last few years.

Mostly in the way it's run.....There was the head of radiology who was 'working' more than 24 hours in a day!

I don't remember the exact details, but he would put down that he worked something like 28 hours in a day, then get paid overtime for them,

That poor woman had been in THAT EMERGENCY room before; this was her THIRD trip for the same illness!

Has anyone heard WHAT she had? I hope it wasn't contagious; there were lots of folks in the waiting area.
