From the waiting room: eight hours vs. one hour
“The Waiting Room” is a film, video, Web and social media project, connecting people getting health care in Oakland, California with the national healthcare debate. Its subject is Highland Hospital, a county facility that often serves patients without health insurance. Today, we hear from Lois Ruther Everett, a woman whose experience with healthcare is very different from the experience of someone close to her.
