  1. It really sickens me to see that those in the medical professional field are so "uncaring" for human life. It is no wonder why more and more people do not go for help and the elderly are being cared for at home. I had the option to have a parent cared for in a nursing environment; however, I chose to take on the responsibility for I would give better care. There was no "urgency" even when the medical personnel did respond. Sickening!

  2. Me too. The woman in sitting near the doorway paid no attention to her at all until the officer came in and then the nurses did. Then all of a sudden she's all upset acting as if she cared. As for the rest of the people in and out of that room, they should be ashamed as well.
