Just one sad note..most of the time waiting for service in ER takes longer than 3 hours...My aunt was found dead on a gurney 6 hours after she arrived at ER after a suspected stroke. They said they were processing her paperwork..they never looked at her.

I whole-heartedly agree. Last year, my aunt had a stroke. Within a couple of hours, she was being administered clot-busting drugs at BUMC in Dallas, after being seen by the head of the neurology department upon arrival in the ER. Yes, she had to go through PT, OT and ST(physical, occupational and speech therapy) but she is back to normal now, with no lingering effects. She is on Coumadin, however, for the rest of her life.
