I had surgery a few days ago and spent a day in the hospital. Our medical system is under attack with too much need and not enough resources. It is a scary thing. I waited two months for an “mri” and three months for the surgery. The hospital was over crowded and while the staff did their best; there was no way they could keep up. I am grateful for the people who do this work and can’t imagine the stress and frustration.
