Truman Medical Center Hospital Hill: "I broke my ankle in 2007 and Truman Medical Center did not x-ray it. Lack of circulation from the fracture caused Stasis Dermatitis on my foot which has now spread to my hands making them barely usable. I just finished making lunch and had to lay down for three hours just to decrease the swelling in my ankle and foot, which is hard to do with back spasms due to misalignment from a broken ankle. Truman Medical Center has spent ten years denying my ankle is broken, now they say it's too late for surgery because it's been so long. Worst hospital ever, don't go here if you want to get healthcare, it's not even sick care." - Ramey
