With an eye on his father’s bloodied face, Barry Jensen began punching numbers into his cell phone from the hospital emergency room.
His 90-year-old dad had fallen on a gravel driveway. His glasses were broken. His family worried that his bones might be, too.
Seats inside the Beaumont Hospital emergency room in the downriver Detroit community of Trenton were filled that day in late March. Several people lay on gurneys.

A doctor might be free to see his father in another three, four, maybe even five hours, Jensen was told.
