: "Brought my Mom here (Washington Hosp. Center). She arrived at around 11 am yesterday and it is 1:44pm the next day over 24 hours. She has been admitted but guess where she is right now in the HALLWAY, where they are stacking people. I so want to get her out of there; I never wanted her to go there in the first place but respecting her wishing because her doctor and her records is there this is what she wanted. It's dirty and they need better quality control!" - A.
