San Francisco General Hospital: "Got here at 9:30pm it's now 12 still in the waiting room never seen by a doctor only a nurse who took vitals. This hospital needs to be shut down. I've been going here for 6 years and only seen my real doctor once. They are too busy for patients clearly." - Diamonique
