Kaiser Foundation Hospital - San Francisco: "Five hours and still waiting." - Pin

Kaiser Foundation Hospital - San Francisco: "Have used this facility twice recently, once in Feb 2021 and again in March 2023. There were nightmarish wait time of 4+ hours each time, and once admitted it a medieval in terms of crowding, the way the staff treated patients, and sanitary conditions. Truly dangerous and shameful. This purely due to inadequate budgeting by Kaiser executive planners, and could be easily addressed, but they choose to ignore the problem." - Andrew
