Las Cruces NM Medical System

Jenna's condition has not improved. Thus we sought medical attention.

When she did not respond to home remedies, we drove to Las Cruces to a hospital. Waited 8.5 hours (!) in the ER of Memorial Medical Center, and still no assurance of medical service.

Thus we left at 10PM for Mountain View Med Center, where Jenna was seen within 30 minutes. And finally admitted at 5am. Zzzzzzz.

However, Jenna has waited in her hospital bed until 3pm to get any treatment. Looks like another day here at least.

BTW: Her RN tells us that the current financial crisis has solved some of the nursing shortage, at least for now. Fewer people seeking medical treatment, particularly optional procedures. Fewer people with medical coverage. Retired nurses returning to work when their spouses lose their jobs.

So sorry to hear that Jenna is still having problems. Hope she's back on her feet quickly! Give her a big FROGGI HUG from me!
