: "Community South usually has long wait times. The last time I went, they had me in the waiting room over 4 hours! There were no chairs left and patients were on gurneys in the hallway and being given care with no privacy. It has to be a hippa violation the way they do things. " - Julie

: "St Francis is usually terrible for wait times in the ER. Last time I went, the wheeled a lady next to me who was vomiting profusely. I got up and left and went to another ER. Also, they’ll call your name and you think that you’re going to be seen but they put you in a very small waiting area where you can easily spread germs. It’s like we learned nothing from COVID.
