St Luke's Cornwall Hospital Stories

St Luke's Cornwall Hospital: "Another trip to this death trap they call a hospital. Every time I’ve had to come here I had to sign myself out and go to another hospital. The last time I was being treated for blood clots. I woke up 2am and my bathroom sink was full of empty iv bags. This time I laid in the ED for seven hours no meds just laying staring at a mild dew floor. This place is not a hospital it’s a death trap. The care is horrible. The staff has no idea what they are doing. LAWSUIT TIME " - William
