Exactly - for those who think they are so smart but don't know how to google (libs) here is the stat report for that particular hospital.
As you can see - the week ending 9/17 was busy and there was an uptick in patients but it is a level one trauma hospital - notice please that the actual number of beds occupied by Covid patients has actually gone down as had the number of confirmed ER visits due to Covid.
Now the woman could very well have had heart issues prior to her cancer diagnosis, or started to see a cardiologist because the cancer treatments sometimes do cause heart issues or could very well have been affected by a 3rd booster since the science isn't in on whether or not they may be harmful in certain situations.
It's not unusual to have a 4-6 hr wait in an ER in good times and why so many Emergency Care Clinics have popped up. Most people don't realize that going to an emergency room doesn't mean you won't have to sit and wait hours and that others will be seen before you if their condition is more serious than yours. Add to that the fact hospitals have been cutting staff for years so they can realize a bigger profit.
