Mercy St Charles Hospital: "Back in January 2019 I broke my ankle went to the ER here. They took xrays told me it was multiple breaks when it was one, never showed me an xray and the DR went home without treating me. Left the nurse to splint my leg no one set the fracture and the nurse put the splint on wrong. I ended up driving to Ann Arbor to the VA hospital who actually took care of the fracture and showed me the xray. Worst hospital I have ever been to is Mercy St. Charles " - Cody
