The Waiting Room, a documentary film addressing the conversation about health care reform and equal access to care, goes through the lives of those in the emergency room of a hospital. It addresses the problem that some families have no other choice, but to visit the ER, since they do not have a PCP (Primary Care Provider) or insurance. Additional unforeseen cases, such as trauma, arrests, and individuals that have very urgent needs only naturally make the wait longer.

I feel the movie best adresses and audience of problem solvers and legistlaors. It offers up a HUGE problem, adressing it from both sides, as to give as much information as possible. It seems to leave it off in a situation where we either need to reconfigure emergency rooms, or figure out good legistlation to correct the poblem at the core.

I thought most aspects of the film served a purpose, the attidtudes of some of the physicians, though realistic, was somewhat off putting.

EMS personel are not direcly outlined in this documentary as it is focused on hospital care not pre-hospital care.

Increase in staff and space, with an emphasis on triage. The problem with that is they all cost individual hospitals more, and offer little solution to he over all problem.

The Waiting Room takes place in Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA. The film most directly is discussing the stake holders as the patient that have to wait, while also focuses on the over burdened system and providers. The film touches on the fact that it's not only present in this one case, it's a wide spread problem, and thus is the contential health and safety that is most at stake with this problem.

A way to improve would be to include more national statistics as it seems very localized with its current content.

The Waiting Room, being a documentary, uses a plethora of personal annecdotes in order to support the argument emotionally. The arguement is supported from more than one direction which, in my opinion, makes this such an empowering film. The film combats the problem from both the patient and clinical side showing frustrations on both sides.
