Comanche County Memorial Hospital: "The wait time was outrageous, all of these people are going back before my wife and it’s not even busy, new people walk in and get pulled right back while my wife sits in pain and bleeding out. (E.R side) being passed up over and over gets very annoying. And no time can be told when she can come back to see a dr. Because everyone else here seems to be more important" - Cameron
