J Arthur Dosher Memorial Hospital: "Worst ER in the county!!!!! No one came out to help me with a wheelchair when I was seen for a nail through my foot. The nurse made me take a urine sample and I had to hop through my room and all the way down to the bathroom even though I came into the back of the ER with a wheelchair. And she just watched as I struggled and almost fell them said are ya gonna make it? Worst care I have ever received here!!!" - Ashley
