Lee Memorial Hospital: "I have visited the ER three times in under two weeks due to a serious. Ecoli infection. My average wait time has been six hours. One person in a wheel chair told me she had been here 24 hours.The waiting room is crowded and unsanitary,. Nobody wipes down the counters or the chairs. No medical professional comes into the waiting room to check on people to see if anyone needs immediate help. On a scale of 1-10 I would give the waiting area a 1. The care once a bed is available is quite good." - Pat

Lee Memorial Hospital: "The infection rate is so high here because they use trucks to ship sterile trays for operations from one warehouse to all hospitals. This is not standard of practice for any hospital on this earth. Normally, each hospital has their own sterile processing department, where they sterilize all instruments for the surgery department. Lee Memorial Health System has a conflict of interest with their CEO and Lee Sar which is owned by Lee Memorial's CEO's brother-in-law. The 2 of them are making billions on the medical supply industry, cutting corners and taking the lives of patients in the process." - Employee
