Fort Washington Hospital: "Horrible. I currently been sitting here for an hour. When I walked in there was two family's here. So far only one person has gotten vitals done. The staff who does registration been laughing the whole time. The triage nurse moves extremely slow. I put severe pain on my slip when I first qalked in and still nothing. This is my second time here and both experiences has been HORRIBLE. I would rather die before I come back here. " - Shaketta
