John D Archbold Memorial Hospital: "It’s ridiculous how they consider the er an er. By the time you are seen and get results that they aren’t sure about, you could have suffered what pains you had in the comfort of your home, then go see your doctor the next day. This hospital can almost do as they please because there’s no where else to go. There should be SOMETHING done about this level of negligence. Good insurance will have them run every test they got. I pray I never need their services. " - Robert

John D Archbold Memorial Hospital: "My brother languished in excruciating pain and fear of dying with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm for 4 long hours in Archbold er waiting room on Aug 5, 2022. Triage was grossly negligent. Archbold staff was grossly negligent. He and his family there with him were treated absolutely inhumanity. My brother was finally transported emergently to SGRMC for surgery. It was too late. He died because of Archbold staff. He suffered a medical emergency. He went to Emergency Room for Emergency Medical Care. He did not receive it. He was refused. My precious,beautiful brother who loved and helped everyone died like a dog because of Archold. He will be remembered ???? ???? " - Tammy
