Presence Saint Joseph Hospital - Elgin: "Worst hospital ever took an X-ray never addressed it said nothing wrong was transported bt ambulance could not walk. Wanted a cat scan of my stomach never complained about that. Dr came in after 5 hours of laughing and talking deep accent no doubt it was him. Had no chart nothing on him had no clue what i was there for no examination. I checked myself out staff was horrible. I had 3 fractures 2 surgeries at the best hospital Sherman hospital. Filing lawsuits, malpractice suit against the Dr. He needs to be disbarred never allowed to practice medicine again.Don’t go here run for your life. See you soon in court." - Julie
