Sanford Usd Medical Center: "Been waiting over 4 hours while the inside of my finger is literally coming up out of my finger. The little hope of saving my finger or anything is clearly out the window with them. God forbid someone come there with a real emergency. Cause they might as well kiss their ass goodbye cause they will be gone before this joke of a place gets them in. Biggest fucking joke of a place I've ever seen. " - Casey
