Same kinda thing with my mother Bobert. The elderly the on duty refused to admit were lined up in the emergency room hallway on gurneys. At one point there were 15 elderly people on gurneys he was refusing to admit. He told us, after waiting 10 hours, that the only way he would admit our mother was if we declared in a written statement that we were abandoning her. The was supposedly the best hospital in St. Paul. Allina owned. Not long after that incident, several of their corporate executives were prosecuted for malfeasance, including taking wildly expensive trips on the company dime.

It was quite a night.
