West Anaheim Medical Center: "Horrible. Dirty. Brought my daughter in who is in pain after a car accident. We are 4 hours in and counting. Poorly staffed. Saw many people finally get up and leave. Same lame answers regardless who asks. People that were here when we arrived, gave up and left in frustration. Hippa violations left and right. Talking to patients in front of other patients describing course of treatment. Dr. In lobby dictating his notes. " - Lynn
