My 25 year old niece went to the ER because she thought she had the flu. She got to where she couldn't even make it across the room without holding onto the walls. Long story short.....She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, transfered to Loma Linda U, she died 10 days after being diagnosed.

Sorry to hear about that.
How long did she wait in the waiting room, behind non emergency cases?

Awful story. She probably had viral cardiomyopathy.
It is the flu that goes wickedly rampant and attacks the heart.
Usually the only treatment is transplant.
I'm sorry for your loss.
