Episode Details

Emergency rooms in Manchester, New Hampshire, are buckling under unprecedented strain, with patients facing waits of up to nine hours just to see a doctor. Eric York’s father was stranded in a hospital gown for nearly 10 hours at Catholic Medical Center — a nightmare scenario echoing across the region. Doctors at Elliot Hospital confirm these delays are becoming systemic, fueled by stretched-thin resources, staffing shortages, and a critical shortage of skilled nursing facility beds that trap patients in ERs.

It’s a stark snapshot of a healthcare system on the brink.
