ER ennui -a help?

 I just read your editorial " ER ennui " and agree with its

    points. I wonder if the writer has had a recent experience of " excruciating "

    waiting in " grim " emergency rooms. Nothing like a real experience to

    focus the mind !

            Of course the bottom line must not prevail in hospital emergency

    rooms. They must be well staffed !

          I  also believe that no accident room patients should be asked

    ANY questions about their medical coverage or ability to pay fees - until

    well after the emergency treatment. This is only common decency !

           And I recommend that soothing ,cheerful or at least PLEASANT

    CLASSICAL music be piped into the " grim " waiting area .

           And Mozart might might even make the staff SMARTER !

      Can we hum along about " our favorite things "  ( " The Sound of Music " )

    while nearly bleeding to death ?
