Talk about patient safety. Hell, talk about simple cooth! I would suggest that the next time someone in 'upper' management gets sick.. and needs admitted. The should be ramped. See how long 'ramping' lasts after that. Geesh. Absolutely insane. Talk about patient safety. Hell, talk about simple cooth!
