West Chester Hospital: "Staff are very rude. Leave sick people laying on floor in emergency room waiting area in obvious distress. Parked in waiting room four hours to be seen and holding, won't let support person in back with me, ask for patient advocate number and get hospital security guards called on you, have to sit here and listen to patients practically dying in waiting room. This has to be the worst hospital in Cincinnati. " - D
