>From  personal experience, I was left in the waiting room at Newton-Wellsley  
Hospital in Boston after arriving by ambulance.  I was triaged 2x and  
finally admitted to the ED with acute appendicitis after 2 hours in the  waiting 
room.  The EMS crew did not stay with me.  I guess I didn't  look or act sick 
enough.

Unacceptable.   UNACCEPTABLE.   This should have been  reported to the 
Hospital's QA program as a Sentinel Event.
