We soon discovered that the emergency telephone did not work. No fire alarm. No cell phone service available. The manual alarm button did sound an alarm. I sat on this alarm for nearly twenty minutes without ANY response. I could hear the cables pulling the elevator car next to us so I began screaming for someone to help us. A patient aknowleged us finally and hospital peresonal was sent for help. twenty more minutes go by an still nothing. I sat on the alarm again and screaming when I heard the cables pulling the other car. Finally after one hour Somebody from engineering aknowledges us. We'r told we have to wait ten minutes for the elevator company to get there. Forty three minutes later the door is pried oped. The car is approximately five feet about the floor and the worker leans a ladder against the floor and is waitintg for each of to climb down . My 80 year old mother with ovarian cancer/stage four/kidney cancer was very confused as to what they wanted her to do as she is in a wheelchair! Eventually we all get out. It was well over 100 degrees in that elevator with no air circulation. I am extremely clas trophobic and I suffered much anxiety. The most frightening part of this experience was the fact that they had no emergency plan - what to do if. It was one hour before an employee was even aware that we were stuck in theis elevator. Another atience husband was paniced because he ha just gone to park the car and couldn't find his wife my experience: At Kaiser Permante Hosital in LosAngeles on July 22, 2009 Myself along with five others became trapped in an elevator for one hour and forty three minutes.
