Greetings,
I’m not mentioning a word about this complaint to the hospital emergency room staff.
I always treat all medical staff respectfully no matter what.
I never mention anything negative to hospital staff.
I just wanted to mention this to hopefully help people from having to deal with this in the future.
Also, the odds are I’m going to be back in this same hospital again because I’ve been coming to this emergency room for years.
Tonight I came to the emergency room because someone I don’t know was blowing some type of vape or drug smoke in my face in the NYC subway.
Here is the complaint.
I understand hospitals are busy and they have to make the most of their space.
Right now I’m in the emergency room.
Whoever is in charge of seating sat me directly across from a person that has been non stop coughing directly into my face from the minute I sat down.
Again, I’m not saying a word to anyone here about it.
I just don’t understand why the hospital is pointing people directly at each other in the emergency room two feet away from each other to cough in each others faces.
I just feel like there could be a better seating solution.
One more time, I’m not mentioning a negative word about this to anyone at the hospital.
I’m just pointing it out so maybe the issue can be addressed.
Thank you.
Mark Pine
