A West Maui Physician
12 hours to get emergency treatment.
A physician in West Maui shared this incident with us.

"A 94 year old man got strong, crampy abdominal pains suddenly about 9 p.m.
By 11 p.m. the ambulance was called and he was taken to the hospital.
His wife followed in the car.
The emergency room was so overloaded with patients that there was no place to sit in the waiting room.
He needed to wait with his wife in their car until about 5 a.m
By the time he was seen and his case was resolved 12 hours had past - at least three times more than what should have been involved."
