On July 28,2006 I took my 56 year old husband to the emergency room doe chest pain. His bllod preasure was over 200,and he was sweating and crying while pounding on his chest.I asked if they could give him something to bring down his blood preasure and the nurse said the Dr. would be in shortly.The hooked him up to the heart monitor for e.k.g.The nurse walked out and he said he felt like he was going to throw up, i got a garbage can and put in front of hime,and started violent dry heaving. I ran out yelling that something was terrribly wrong please come see him. I ran back to his room and he was having a seizure. I ran out of the room again screaming for help and that he was having a seizure.

His blond nurse put her hand up to me and said he's just anxious he'll be fine. I yelled he's having a godamn seizure get in here. No one went in the room they called security on me. One guard came to me and said i had to leave,I started yelling and cussing thaat he needed help for them to get in there with him. Still no one went, then another security guard came and said i had to leave.I was flipping out that no one would check my husband. The blond nurse after at least ten minutesopened the door and my husband was already dead and grey. She said he was fine a few minutes ago. They revived him, but it took around 20 minutes for success. He ended up with severe brain damage. This could have been prevented if someone would have gone in the room the first time i called for help.
