Fawcett Memorial Hospital: "I spent 14 miserable hours in their er. From 1800 on the 26th until 1000 on the 27th. It was the worst emergency room treatment I have ever received. I went in with covid complications and was made to sit in the waiting room alcove for a couple of hours before I was even given a bed. the only thing they did for me was draw about 20 vails of blood and give me one bag of iv fluid. They recommended I stay in the hopital that night and then continued to ignore me in their emergency room bed. I feel they only wanted to keep me so they get another covid patient on their books. Non of the nurses were helpful and neither were any of the doctors. One little lab tech guy who helped me after I had been sitting in the waiting room for serveral hours was the only kind/helpful person I saw. I did not want to go to a local hospital because I know how bad your reputations are, but my family insisted. I would have been better off staying at home. Fawcett emergency room gets a BIG FAT F!!!! in my books." - Karen

Fawcett Memorial Hospital: "Horrible Hospital doctor Maine was extremely judgemental and rude and presumptuous so was the girl at the front desk no bedside manner did not address Chief complaint took it upon themselves to prescribe something that he did not ask for or want and when we asked for medication for one day until he found the doctor they seem not to give a care. Seems like they just wanted money send him on his way without any papers or prescriptions" - Guillermo
