My god. I had to visit Life Labs today for a routine lab req, nowadays appointments take weeks to make, so I did a walk in at the Commercial location.

No word of a lie, I felt like I was in a UN refugee camp. Room full of patients from a country I'm not certain on (thinking Yemen) with UMR Relief t-shirts on, their kids dressed in rags, not a lick of English.

I felt bad watching the woefully understaffed nurses trying to intake these people with no proper paperwork or ability to communicate. I caught eyes with another dude waiting for his call, observing the chaos, we just shook our heads.

As a bleeding heart liberal slowing becoming more conservative, our healthcare system is clearly inundated with these charity cases, and it's causing major issues.
