The line is worth it if you get there early before it opens. We waited for about 45 minutes. I drank coffee in line and did some Christmas shopping from my phone, so not anything too different than what I would have been doing at home.

Thanks HCA, for making plans to permanently close the NICU at Chippenham in a few days. If you’re pregnant or have a newborn, don’t bother going to Chippenham.

Their plan is to send your newborn in an ambulance to Johnston Willis if they require intensive care. Also, they will charge you for that ambulance ride. Also, Chippenham is getting rid of many of their staff that handle intubated newborns, so the ambulance ride to Johnston Willis is assuming that your infant makes it that far. (But you will be charged for the ambulance ride even if your newborn doesn’t survive.) Shout out to HCA for prioritizing profits over lives.
