North Hawaii Community Hospital: "Worst Er I've ever been in. It took them 5.5 hours to have me discharged.
Hospitality was bad I checked in around 2:00 for my chest pain. they took my Vital signs then threw me in the waiting room (main lobby) I waited so long my body cured it self. My chest pain went away by the time doctor decide to see me,he said he can't detect anything if I'm not in pain. Got out around 7:30. Waste of time, I'm surprise no one died in the lobby when I was there. " - John
