22. So, so sorry to read about your mom.

Health care in the U.S. is basically nonexistent if you don't have big $$ over and above private insurance and Medicare (both, for my spouse). I would not go to our only hospital for ANY reason. Fly me to Seattle where the doctors and nurses actually have training!

Sending you extreme good karma. Remember to take care of YOU, too!
