Rushed to the hospital on a Saturday night when my father in law suffered a massive heart attack... and he was held stable for almost 2 hours before a surgeon capable of working the situation was able to make it in and insert a stent.
It seemed strange to me that a hospital would have a schedule like that... where most doctors work 9 to 5 monday to friday, and most everybody goes home for the weekends.
People can fall ill at any time. Although I suppose the majority of people would only notice that they were ill and come into the hospital during regular business hours.
I noticed this because he was in an induced coma for a few weeks.
At night they lock the place up so tight there is literally only one door in the emergency room that is open to the outside. Something about them being worried about narcotics thefts.
That was a frustrating learning experience our first evening in the hospital, I tell you!
Thankfully he pulled through with flying colors!
