Saint Clare Hospital: "This is the worst hospital out there. Only go there if you want to die. The staff are clueless on how to do their job, they do not care about patient safety, they are inept when it comes to following their own policy and procedures. Do not bother calling the ombudsman for help, they will ignore you. Call the state and the Joint Commission Board to complain they do listen and investigate. Make sure you have a good lawyer on hand too." - Cathy
