Letter to the Editor: SSM Healthplex emergency room signs

Body

To the Editor:

On Wednesday, Sept. 1, I had respiratory failure and could not breathe. When trying to find the correct door to enter the Emergency Room at the new SSM St. Anthony Healthplex, one would think you would go to the large red ER letters on the building. Guess what? That entrance is for ambulance drivers.

Thankfully I did not die there on the driveway.

Now, which door?

We pulled up to the Urgent Care, but that was not what we needed.
