Fairfield Medical Center Stories

Fairfield Medical Center: "I brought my 6 year old son to Fairfield Medical Center in Lancaster, Ohio because he has been running a high fever for over 24 hours. We arrived in the ER at 9:27 pm, it is now 2:30 am and we have still not even seen a doctor. They have looked over us, ignored us, and treated us like we are unimportant. As I write this complaint I can see 5 nurses standing in the hall chit chating, meanwhile my sick son is still running a fever and has fallen asleep. They haven't even came in to check if his fever has gone up. Worst treatment and medical attention ever!" - carole
