I was in the emergency room once this week.....and in the hospital twice this week.
In the Emergency Room at Keck [USC] ... not crowded at all. I was in for massively LOW blood pressure, nit Covid although I was given a Covid test and was given an “all clear” 24 hours later.

Keck USC? I think it is near Downtown Los Angeles...ER was not really crowded? Interesting...
I was getting the impression that all the ERs are really getting crowded in Los Angeles County...I guess I watched too much local TV news...
I am trying to remain calm and do my usual things...But, I have to admit that I am getting little worried after watching my local TV news...Reporters interview doctors and nurses who really sound desperate...Reporters also spoke to people who are in ICU beds...
To clarify....yes, Keck is USC’s hospital. It is the teaching hospital for USC.
I do not go to that one, I go to Keck Verdugo....I go the Keck in Verdugo Hills which is tiny yet very lovely. I go there two or three times a week for physical therapy ...I’m 71 and crippled. The Verdugo Hills hospital is tiny yet very lovely.
I usually go to Cedars where my doctors are but if I go to emergency there....it is an 8 hour wait always, it is jammed to the gills with non-citizens waiting for free healthcare that must be provided to anyone that walks in. so, I cannot go to Cedars...I go to Keck....it’s tiny, way up in the hills and no one goes because it is new.
Cedars at this time is 100% and full now as always. Keck VERDUGO ONLY is not because it is tiny and people don’t know its there. I got a Covid test there the other day. Results came back in 24 hours. I do not have Covid thankfully.
