Evangelical Community Hospital: "This has been the worst of the worst here tonight. Almost 6 hours and still waiting to be seen. I’m a nurse I get it but they tell my daughter “that’s a different kind of swelling” from a reaction to a flu shot! She looks like she got lip injections times 100!!! NOT HAPPY!!! We have no choice but to wait!!!! " - Renee
