Scripps Mercy Hospital: "Is this the current waiting time?" - Dawn

Scripps Mercy Hospital: "I have been waiting for hours with five minutes with the doctor. No end in sight. This is my third visit in three days because they kicked me out Wednesday and sent me to the ER. I waited for hours in the ER and finally left. Came back here right when they opened and that was four hours ago and I am nowhere. There were seven people in front of me when I got here. Scripps sucks" - Glenda
