Excerpt
JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): ..... A new documentary chronicles what life is like for patients and doctors at a busy, safety net hospital in California.
And again to Jeff, who recorded this conversation recently.
JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): The daily life of a large, under-resourced, urban public hospital, a new documentary offers no experts and no statistics, just a rare fly-on-the-wall look inside an overwhelmed and at times overwhelming system and its impact on patients and staff.
"The Waiting Room" -- and there is indeed a lot of waiting going on -- is set in Highland Hospital in Oakland, California. The film has been screening at film festivals around the country and has already won several awards. It will get a national theater release in the fall, and will air on PBS' "Independent Lens" next year.
