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.
The son remembers thinking “it looked like a scene from a disaster movie, just on a smaller scale.”
A doctor might be free to see his father in another three, four, maybe even five hours, Jensen was told.

A MULTI-millionaire is having to sell one of the finest private collections of Bentley cars ever assembled to pay for his divorce. Robin Cannon is reluctantly giving up the fleet of classic British motor cars he has kept in a custom-made, climate controlled garage at his country mansion. The stunning £5m Jacobean property has already been sold after Mr Cannon and his wife Jane split up in 2019. Mr Cannon, who owns a chain of care homes, has since had to have the seven Bentleys and a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette moved into storage. The seven immaculate Bentleys, that span 80 years of the British marque, are expected to sell for over £1.5m when they go under the hammer with Dorchester-based Duke s Auctioneers.
