Hospital and a Selfish Lady

Hello, everybody! sorry for the lack of update. I've been so busy with university these past few weeks. Anyway, six days ago something terrible happened to my grandma. She was at the doctor and when she was getting off of the scale she fell and she hit her face and broke her hips. And so on Thursday, around 9 pm, her legs had gotten worst. She couldn't move both of her legs so me and my brother had to carry her to her bed. She told me not to call my aunt because she doesn't want to bother her, but I called her anyway because I had bad feeling about this.
Finally my aunt came and we were going to take her to the hospital but she couldn't move at all, so we called 911 and asked them to send an ambulance to our condominium. After a while, the ambulance came and the paramedics were able to move her to the stretcher and then they took her to the hospital. She was taken to the emergency room. Me, my sister, my sister's best friend and my little brother were waiting in the waiting area because only one person were allowed to go in.
It was around 2 am and there was this annoying lady who twisted her ankle and she was in a wheelchair crying. She demanded that the doctor treat her first because she was in a lot of pain. I was like shut the fuck off because her injury wasn't that bad at all compared to my grandma and other people in the emergency room. So, that lady's mother talked to one of the nurses and she asked her if the doctor could treat her daughter first because she was crying. The nurse said, "No, I can't do that because her injury isn't a matter of life and death and there are other seniors in there that have more severe injuries than her." And so she backed off for a while and after that she kept on touching her daughter's foot and so she cried again. Honestly, she was the only that cried in that room and everybody was annoyed by her and she was being rude. Not to mention her squeaky voice just made me want to punch her in her face.
She just kept crying and crying and after that she was able to laugh and talked on the phone... to me she was just pretending so that the nurse would take her to the emergency room and get the doctor to treat her first.
After 2 hours, the nurse finally took her to the emergency room and all of the people in the waiting area were finally able to relax for a little bit. Anyway, my grandma got her surgery done today and she was doing fine. It's just the leftover effect of the morphine that made her a little bit confused. I'm going to keep praying so that she get better soon.
