St Francis Community Hospital: "This ER is not even busy, a doctor left a little after 1:00 am, down to one Dr. Been sitting here for over 2 hours for an X-Ray, thays it, an X-ray. No ambulance emergencies, very few people in lounge area.
Sick and tired of the prices they charge, for the services that are provided. This is the ABSOLUTE worse ER/hospital in this area." - Jason
