Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

On June 7 at 6 p.m. I was admitted to the emergency department at the University of Chicago Hospitals. I was taken into the examining room immediately . . . because there were only three people in the waiting room.

I was told that there was standing room only in the morning and afternoon and that it would be that way again as soon as the Bulls game was over.

Is it really an emergency if you have to see the game first before getting treated?
