42  the answer to life, the universe and , oh wait life's in need of attention..

K, another night at the ER, same result 7.3 hours wait to resolve a situation that either should arguable have been resolved the night prior. Without getting into too much detail they prescribed a med that has a negative effect on the condition diagnosed.  I'm thoroughly unimpressed by the level of care prior to being seen if you have excruiciating pain there's no attempt to resolve it .. If something is that bad 7 hours after entry that you need an iv and a shot shortly after they get to you ... Yeah most of this is frustration but It's thoroughly depressing that  private medicine is so far behind the curve in the Valley. Another hospital in the same chain closed down it's Er for three hours

"Banner Baywood CEO Don Evans said he stands by his decision to temporarily shut the ER doors, but hopes meetings with other Banner hospital executives will result in a more synchronized system. The Banner Health chain has nearly 1,300 hospital beds in the East Valley.

"We didn’t have the beds, nor did we have the treatment areas within the emergency room," Evans said. "We were in a position of putting (patients) at risk" 

Delightful, it's not the one off, over two nights , that they would like us to believe it's a complete lack of foresight re the growth of this region and the ancilliary services  such as sewage, disposal and a stable power supply are not that far behind.    So  take your 40 year long bets.
