The New York Times, Dec. 9, 2008 UTMB's Dr. Angela Gardner was quoted in this article about the impact that the recession is having on emergency rooms that already were crowded before an increasing number of people became unemployed or lost their health insurance coverage. "We have no capacity now. There's no way we have room for any more people to come to the table," said Gardner, who is president-elect of the American College of Emergency Physicians. She argues that any public discussion of overhauling the current health system must include the nation's emergency departments.
