Five and a half hours—that’s how long some patients are waiting in Chicago’s busiest ERs, including Northwestern Memorial. Hospital staff say they’re stretched thin, juggling multiple roles, and it’s taking a toll on both workers and patients. The hospital plans to add more rooms, but union members are asking: what’s the point if there aren’t enough people to care for everyone? With a major hearing coming up, it’s clear something has to give. How would you feel waiting that long for emergency care? What do you think needs to change first—more space or more staff? #Health #BodyHealth #Chicago
