Liberty Hospital: "Referred here from family doctor. Pregnant wife with concussion and I have been waiting for 2 1/2 hours to be seen. Meanwhile healthy looking young people eating chips and drinking sodas in the lobby get in and out in less than 30 minutes. Triage process is a joke, nurses rifling through charts to choose what they want to do and avoiding those that they don’t. Would be nice for EMS to know how to prioritize patient needs." - Jonathan
