Lexington Medical Center: "This hospital is a fucking joke . It claims to be one of the best but it's standards are as average as a hospital from the damn 80s. To be sitting in the emergency room for 6 hours to never be seen with chest pains possible heart attack is ridiculous. This sorry ass facility could care less if you died. I wouldn't recommend this garbage ass hospital to anyone sad that Richland's little ol hospital is way quicker they need to level Lexington hospital and put a damn McDonald's there bc you'll get better service fuck you Lexington county hospital y'all trash of the state..." - Phillip
