@HenryFordHealth My 80 year old immunocompromised father has visited your ER twice in 2 days. The first time they let him sit in the waiting room for almost 2 hours without being seen and said they had no idea if he would be called. Now, with a SBO confirmed on Ct-scan (1/3)

We will observe a moment of silence at 2:33 p.m. in memory of Rob Hiaasen, Gerald Fischman, Wendi Winters, John McNamara and Rebecca Smith.

It's been six years since they were murdered in a shooting at the Capital Gazette. Our thoughts go out to everyone who was affected by it.
