Wesley Medical Center: "Brought my husband in with pneumonia. Six people ibehind glass for check in just sitting around. Husband had 103.8 fever. After an hour wait with no one in the waiting room I checked to see when they would call him in. Cole didn’t like me asking the question, took the mic and told me to sit down and wait to be called. We came here because of the rating. This hospital does not deserve the 4 star rating. We are still sitting in the waiting room and it’s filling up with other patients. There is no reason for the wait. ER means it’s a serious reason you’re there. It’s not because you have nothing better to do with your time. If your hospital is under staffed with quality doctors then do something about it. This isn’t NYC, San Francisco or Los Angeles. It’s nowhere Wichita. " - Lorna
