John H Stroger Jr Hospital: "Stroger is my go to hospital. I have always had a very good doctor experience when I've gone there. The African nurses are NOT nice at all, I don't like them, They are VERY<, VERY, VERY mean. So far I haven't seen filt there. The triage people are not nice either. I wish they would give the black support staff some people training. " - Elaina

John H Stroger Jr Hospital: "Being an insanely busy free county hospital.. it really is super pain to HAVE to come here else no other options..... BUT.... Other side to the coin is, Bout 5years ago I was carjacked and shot twice and thought the two guys with the guns had taken my g/f with like they implied? The trauma staff at Strojer was above perfection...Analyzed me thoroughly to try n Not Have to cut me open to repair arteries in my leg and lower groin area (LUCKILY!!) I still got a functional leg and groin muscle to date.... I did lose the girls love ..even after taking 2 bullets to keep her safe.... Anyways Strojer is usually a miserable place to go, but they def have the right very trained people where it REALLY counts!" - Steve
