Berger Hospital: "I'm very disappointed that since Berger became part of Ohio Health, they have no records on me. I have been an inpatient there at least five times and I've had a lot of x-rays, scans and blood work there, yet they had no records when I went into the e.r. in December, 2021. That's dangerous, especially when a patient is in distress and can't tell them much. I will say, though, that the medical side of things was great. All but one nurse was friendly, everyone was highly competent and the doctor went above and beyond what I'd expect of any doctor, let alone one in a busy, Friday night e.r. " - dP_Ted
