"The Waiting Room" looks inside the ER waiting room at Oakland's Highland Hospital, a safety-net hospital that sees 250 people, most of whom do not have health insurance, in its ER every day. Among them: a child with strep throat; a young man with a testicular tumor who needs surgery; and a senior citizen with diabetes. Also: an excerpt from Anna Deavere Smith's play, "Let Me Down Easy."
